ooh! Sounds nice. I'm probably getting some MH lighting for a possible
hydroponics project. What brand lights are you using? I'm thinking of
going with Hydrofarm.
So what kind of substrate do you have? Kasselman recommends a rich
substrate, I think (was pretty sleepy when I read her book last night!)

That won't be a problem for me since my tank is closed -- regular
flourescents over a glass canopy. But definitely an issue for an open
tank with MH lighting like yours. The Kasselman book has a photo of the
flower. It's really pretty. Maybe it would be fun to let one of 'em grow
emergent just to get a flower?
