Get used to it man. You "Wait" all the time with this hobby. I have my tank established but Im still waiting..... (waiting for some rich relative to leave me some cash for my 150Gallon tank and light system) Waiting for your fish to arrive, waiting for that particualr corral to come in stock...

If your willing to set it up as reef from the getgo, then yea, listen to BanBoy.... (<grin>) Metal Halide is the way to go if you want some of the more delicate and difficult corrals and other inverts. If you have the cash, go for the MH setup to start. The bulbs in those do indeed usualy go...

Well, think of it this way. The bulb they use in their green house is exactly the same bulb we use for our tanks. (If not, its a simple matter of changing the buld, LOL) Thats the price of the whole kit from an online store. If its really launching a 1000Watt MH bulb, then I think it might be...

Sun System X 1000W MH Maximizer White ******** Reflector Retail $236.95 Sale Price $212.31 Uh, this seems to good to be true....?

These are basicaly the next step up from Halogen lights. They burn a lot brighter and put out a braoder specrum of light. The draw back is, they need a very powerful 'starter' to get them going. Once they are lit, they cont draw as much current. Same as a Fluresent. But, your Flurecents...

Nice one. I cant post the link without getting spanked. But I did a search online for reef life glowing and found some interesting articles.

Temps generaly sit in the upper 70s. I would check the levels before you add the corrals. Check the lighting too. Make sure your getting enough algee growth.

FRom time to time there are cases of a tank not cycling. Mine is one for example. I think it cycled in the 3 days I had it settling and not testing it. Other than that it just seemed to be fine. I have 4 fish, some corrals and an anemone in there and all is well. The amount of LR and the...

Yup. Base rock will eventualy become live rock over time. You just have to be patient.

Yea, apparently my host has a problem linking into this site. Just hit properties, and copy / paste the url into a new browser window and it will load up.

Yea, well, Iv had hosting problems. I didnt want to get into trouble for linking into an 'adult' site where the image was hosted. Anyway, heres whats going on so far: (im going to get flamed, watch) The image is slightly out of date. I have some Corrals on the rocks now. And, I apparently...

looks like a flatworm of some kind. Check with some marine biology sites.

Awsome dude. My oppinion. I would cycle with as few lights as possible. But still provide some light o keep things pretty, and keep any 'life' in the tank. Sending a lot of light into a tank thats still cycling is asking for an algee problem. As far as lighting. Id depends on who you are. Iv...

(sorry about this, i missed the thread) Well, the 8 minute rule only applies when you buy an APC thats rated to run for 8 - 10 minutes. Thats for those over the counter BestBuy crap. If you want soemthing to crank your system for a few hours, you can find it. I know of an APC that will easily...

I use a computer UPS as a voltage regulator, evening out spikes and drops in the current. Later on it will also act as a simple supply to run while the generator kicks in. Plus, generators give out very Very dirty current, so it will smooth that out and keep my equipment life higher than it...

Hah! its alright for you. My wife keeps asking me if she can get a "Dorry". LOL. I only have 40 Gallons to play with!!.

Be careful with Urchins. Some have a taste for Corrals.

Yea, Sorry PFitz44. Until 10 minutes ago that was the only site I could host images on that displayed them externaly of their domain. I got my RoadRunner site up now, so Ill be linking from there from now on. Nuts. I didnt get a chanse to go to the LFS. Ill go tommorow and find out what they...

The worm seems fine. Tube looks like its grown since Iv had it. Food, I dont know. I usualy mix up phytoplancton in a soda bottle and then gentely squirt it over the feathers when I add it to the tank. Thanks for the assistence though. Feathers are the head end right?. So it poops out the...

Okay, heres the best image I could get.
