I really like those kessils just don't like the fact I would have to spend a thousand dallied just on lights. The hydra's are pretty appealing. Have you had any issues with that motor on the skimmer? Read some reviews on it last night and boy oh boy did people seem really disappointed in it

Well hopefully I can get lucky enough for them to chim in lol. I Consider going with the Hob again but one of my fello reef buddies talked me into trying a sump lol

I have always wanted to do a sump but I had such good luck with the HOB filters and skimmer I didn't see the need to switch over to the sump. But now that I'm staring over I want to give it the old college try. Going to go slow of course but sps's will come later on the road so I want to get a...

For the record I planned on going with the reef octopus 150, and two 1200 gph power heads on each side, one more on towards the top and the other favoring the bottom. Possibly two more lowing flowing ones on the back on the tank (depending on the rock set up and coral later on down the line)...

Alrighty ladies and gentlemen Im not new to the hobby however i have been out of it for a while and have decided to get back into it. Im going to try a new approach and DIY a refugium sump (which i have never had before). I currently have a 75 gal and bought a 20 long the other day for the...

That might not be a bad idea. I'll try it and see if it affects it

It's a 75g. And honestly do not have anything but a mushroom right now but that's why I bought the light so I could get some corals. How do u figure the wattage??

MH ADV 48" Metal Halide T5 Aquarium Light 716W Coral Reef Marine LED 2x 250W Hats what she is. But no nothing else in the house is new or tank lol. It's really kinda frustrating cuz my roommates look at me like I should be paying more if the bill but I pretty sure the light wouldn't make the...

Alright so with the last two months my electric bill has jumped up about 150 more a month since I got this new light. It's a oddessy 4', it has two 175 watt metal halide on it with blues. Would/should it make my electric bill jump this damn high I turn the blues on at noon till 9 and the halids...

LOL...It doesn't do much good to purchase BEFORE you ask if it's any good. There are so many useless products that the LFS will sell you. It's good to check here first, save yourself some cash. The Purigen is a good one, so you lucked out. Lol I usually do my research first but she seemed to...
