    T5 Vs MH

    My advice is to get the MH setup. I like the hanging style. If you are ever going to (or even think you might) get a different tank I would get the MH. If you get T5's for one tank and you upgrade or downgrade you will have to get new bulbs and new reflectors which can add up in money. If you...

    Can I use a regular wavemaker with a hydor koralia?

    Can I use a Natural wave timer (like used with maxi-jets), or the Ocean pulse wavemaker or Wavemaster Pro etc. or do I have to use Hydors new wavemaker?

    What other equipment would you recommend?

    Thanks guys, I have a JBJ auto topoff on the way. I dont know much about controllers and dont really know how many things I have to control. With such a small tank I was just thinking about dosing 2 part calcium and not getting a reactor. You guys think I really need a reactor?

    What is this on my long nose hawkfish?

    It's been there for about a month, so I really don't think it's food.

    What is this on my long nose hawkfish?

    Anybody know if I should be concerned with that white dot on his top fin. I feed squid sometimes and it looks like a little piece of it on his back, but I know it is not. I am just using that as an example to describe it.

    Internal Overflow Box

    I got my tanks drilled about 3 inches from the bottom and about 3 inches from the side on the back side of the tank. Overflows were expensive. I think the pvc idea is pretty good. I would use it if I had to do it again.

    Internal Overflow Box

    I just drilled my 30 gallon and 20 gallon tanks and ordered my internal overflows (just like the one pictured) from a first class aquatics company and they are good.

    I went the T5 route and had a nice setup. I then switched tanks and and realized that I would be spending more money on them now getting new bulbs b/c the other ones were the wrong length and that means that I had to buy new reflectors too. I was looking at the price and by the time I got all...
