Thank you so much for the input! I had to smile when I read yours VaughnH, I guess I do have a Phosphate phobia now! Hmm, wonder if this is listed in the American Medical Association? We can call it PP! I will dose PO4 this cycle and less on the Equilibrium. The GH was a little higher than normal for me.

I now have a drop checker on the way, decided to order it last night. That's the only way I will know what's going on in the tank.

Will get some chelated iron to dose iron as Seachems is just to expensive for what it does.

I tweaked my CO2 reactor, now have about 2-3bs.

I have a valve to automate the CO2 system, just need to wire, install and get a timer. Probably get it in this week..

I really can't remove one light out of the fixture since they are set in pairs but I can do some rearranging of bulbs. I have a couple of plant grow bulbs (pink cast), I can replace the 6500k with them. They seem to have a lower lumen. Also I am cutting the light cycle back. The recent addition of a dual timer has helped a lot.

This is with out a doubt the best and most comprehensive forum on the net! Thanks for your help.
