    I am probably going to be getting a 28G nanocube with the HQI light. I am debating on the setup. It will probably have SPS/LPS and a clam with a few fish. BB or a thin sand layer (I like the look of sand much better)? Keep the filter media in the sump part? Care for the acrylic type tank...

    Ok, so my fixture is about 2 weeks old, so I obviously shouldnt be having any problems with it. Well today Ive noticed that the 10k MH starts flashing like a strobe light.
