I will move it tonight after work. What is a good brand of wave maker to control Korila powerheads. I have 2 currently and a 950 gallon return pump for circulation.

I got mine from SWF also. I cut the top off a 2 liter bottle and coverd the sun coral with it and squirted mysis and cyclopeeze mixed in. After 20 minutes or so they opened up for the first time. Now after the lights go out, they open up great every night. I still cover them so the other...

I read on this site that SPS's require a high flow of water. How much is considered high flow? I have one SPS that is 3 inches from a Korila 1 which is blowing right on it. Is that too much flow or should I move the SPS or the power head so it has flow but not direct?

What is the best brand of test kit to get? I would rather spend a little and get accurate results.

I will wait till i get a new tester before i add anything. Hopefully tomorrow. I will check my ph when i get off work with the lights on. What should my Alk be at? Thanks

I did check the Ph while the lights were off last time. I have a skimmer in the sump. 950 gallon pump returning the water with 2 Korila ph's a 1 and a 2 extra for water flow. I will go out and get a new Alk tester since mine is lost Thanks for the reply.

I checked my levels 2 weeks ago and everything was fine. 0 amm 0 nitrate 0 nitrite 8.2 Ph 78 deg 1.025 sal. Did a 20 gallon water change in the mean time. I added 2 clown fish. Which are my only 2 fish. I have 25 crabs 7 or so snails. 2 Cleaner shrimp. and a few corals. and 100 lbs live rock...

Ok you talked me into it. Ordering in a week or so. Going with the 250's guess anything can live under those.

I am just running my tank with an open top no canopy. Probably will just go with the 2 150 combo. Cheaper and will do the job with less heat. Thanks for the replies.

Should I order the 2 250 watt combo's instead of the 2 150's. My tank is 24" tall.

I was thinking about getting some of the Blue Torts they have on this sight. They mention lighting to be about 3 Watts per gallon. Is that the min? I currently have 1 250 Mh on a 65 gallon tank but am planning on upgrading in the next few weeks to 2 150 Mh and some 65 T5s combo. Which would put...

Current USA 36 inch Outer Orbit 2x150w 10K HQI-MH w/ 4x39W T5 HO & 18 Lunar Lights for $680.00 Is this a good brand of lighting to get or should I spend a little more and get a different model? Any recomendations?

Any tricks to get it off the puck?

I just picked up a frag of Green Birds nest attached to a puck. How should I go about attaching this to my rocks in my tank? Break it off and superglue? and help would be appreciated.

Yea, it's a Mag 350 canister filter that came from my DT. It ran on the tank for 3 years.
