As far as the Nova thats pretty much the one to buy, the stock lamps are so so, youll do fine for awhile but consider an upgrade. I am using the wave points bulbs with a 12k 460nM and 420nM in a 48" nova and visually things are great.. Refarding the individual reflectors.. It does make a...

For me T5 is the way to go more because of the heat potential of MH, The Tek is probably the best fixture, Current NOVA extreme is little less cash and a really nice light, I run it on my 75, but you really cnat beat the TEK. as far as MH, there is no way to argue the quality of MH is excellent...

Salt, Ilive here in WP as well, just wondering if you talked to Rob @oceans Below in NP or checked in the PBMAS. Rob might not want it but probably help find a new home, he is good like that..

Personally I have not gone, I know a few people who have an loved it, of those couple also tried a similar place(i thinks its Theater of the Sea) in the Florida Keys, said it was a better expirience overall, plus then your in the Keys, how cool is that....

It may, whatever you do to raise the temp do it gradually, shutting down a fan, adding heaters, whatever you do , keep it subtle to avoid rapid temp flux.

What type of fish do you want to keep, for insatnce most tangs would be better in a longer tank ?? Yes fish and coral mix, but some fish are not reef same, Lighitgn is a huge component to corals, if you are talkink some softies, you could skimp alittle on lighting. Chooses both fish and corals...

JetsKikiing wrote a great thread about lighitng basics check it out https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/364885/aquarium-lighting-101 IMO T5 is the way to go, the best PAR/lumanes per watt of all the T series lamps, more lamp configurations available, beats the Heat ( maybe not the quality of MH)...
