The idea behind using a blend of carbon sources is to cultivate multiple strains of bacteria rather than culturing a monospecific strain, which creates a more fragile denitrification process. Some folks will supplement with bacteria cultures along with dosing carbon sources to encourage...

Look at Sanjay's numbers.

The Hammies are cool, the PAR sucks though.

Or if you like the Ushio and want a little more flavor the reeflux 10k has a very interesting spike, the blues are unreal, yet the bulb itself is crisp white. Not as yellow/green as the Ushio, but not a blue bulb either.

Garath and Jimmy, I believe it was something about a dispute over species, they got into a physical altercation and the bag ripped open.. :D

Yep, we worked that one out a long time ago. Look for the announcement today after I brush the cobwebs out of my mind, it's been a long week...

Guppies!

I was young what can I say, now I just eat a lemon and chalk it up to scurvy,

When the verdict is in I think we'll all look like a bunch of fools, the silly LE names will make just as much sense :D

Having had Myco I will say that the Staph infection that I got 20 or so years ago scares me a lot more than Myco. The Myco moved slow and was treated in a timely fashion, the Staph infection I got was thick black lines from my hand to nearly my armpit in 8 hours, that was unnerving and made me...
