I don't have a copper test - though we are using an RO filter which I believe is supposed to remove all that good stuff.

Perhaps I should consider swapping out one or both of the actinics for regular T5 bulbs?

I don't know. I've said enough about the lights. Like I said...I don't know anything about the strength of T5's. BC Orchid Guy says they're okay. Maybe someone else can chime in?

Cheers,

looks like that torch is doomed IMO.

also, test for copper, I could not figure out why all my new corals, snails and shrimp were dying when I added them until I tested the tap water...sure enough, copper.
