I pick my battles. Sometimes things just slide. There aren't enough hours in the day for everything.

I just add another 24 hours to my day.

I just take another day off of work.
Gotta continue reducing the bill stack to make that work though.

And you already don't sleep much as it is. :-)

One day I'll sleep for a week.

what's the difference between t5 and t5ho. Can a person grow coral with t5
@dantimdad @Manose

 

[dantimdad]

T5 is not really sold in the aquarium industry anymore.

T5 HO is the standard. IIRC T5 in a 24" was 14 watts. It's 24 watts in HO.

It's like regular fluorescent and VHO bulbs.

BTW you can grow coral with any type of lighting provided there is enough light for the type of coral you are keeping at the depths you are keeping them.

Back in the old days (LOL!) we kept all sorts of corals with regular fluorescent. Granted we had to cram 7-8 bulbs over a 55 to do it....

my buddy went out and bought t5 lights thinking they were t5ho and tbe store said they would work just fine. He is setting up softies. Leathers zoas gsp and such. Its a standard 55g.

 

[dantimdad]

How many bulbs?

If it's a 4 bulb regular T5 he should be fine with quite a few softies.

 

[Katrina71]

I could be wrong, but I think T5 would be fine for those.

He could always add an LED bar and grow more stuff and get some shimmer too.

Talking about not enough hours in the day, today was a long one. I did all the stuff that hasn't been kept up on since the little one came. House work, yard work, tank maintenance, and cleaning my truck for the first time since the newborn. It feels good to have a clean ride again.

Good morning it is beautiful and sunny here in Amman - Jordan

It’s amazing how similar this looks to northern Arizona. So cool.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm not sure I've had a clean ride in 11 years. Lol. It never stays clean for very long. I always have scout stuff or something in there.

 

[Katrina71]

@12gallonsofhex your ride looks great! Hippie kid has promised to wash mine if it ever stops raining.

 

[Katrina71]

Forecast today- Rain

LOL, I found a cheese wrapper and an uncapped bottle of water on the floor of the car this weekend after having the kids. When did they have cheese?

There are probably 4 tubes of Dr. Pepper lip smackers under my seat that I can't reach. Yes I know...worn it since middle school. I don't wear much makeup to work.
