Occasionally we get lucky. To answer your next question we use two 150MH halides, they are focused (spot lights) and give us great growth and color even on the bottom ( we dont not use sand). 400w MH's should have no problem penetrating to the bottom. Our favorite 400 bulbs are the XM20k and Radium 20k. I would look at your reflectors and nutrient levels. 20K's give great colors and if you like the blue look it may be worth upgrading reflectors to Lumenbrights, LumenArcs, or LumenMaxs. Hi Johnny,

We've used VSV for over 2 years now. We've taken some breaks here and there, to let thing stabilize after changes, but we do like the results. If you decide to stop, we have not experienced any repercussions in doing so. We've had many questions on the subject, so we'll be posting a write up on starting to use VSV. e.g. initial mixture, dosing, signs to look out for etc. Hi Steve,

How long have you used VSV? Do you like the results? I am tempted to go that route but am afraid to try for fear of being unable to go back if it does not work out well. In any case, nice website too!! Gorgeous tank! How long have you used VSV? Do you like the results?

In any case, nice website too!!
