thanx for the info, i'll research more on mh. as far as flow goes i have about 25-27x.

i have 2 4" fans in right now. will this lighting support the delicate corals, or do i need mh?

i have a 75 gal. dt, and i have 260 watt pc retro in may canopy. can i put another pc retro in my canopy( like 4-96 watt pc) or do i have to put mh in it to keep more demanding corals? i'm just concerned about the heat generated by mh, and also cost is a issue as always. my canopy sits 12 inches...

thanx for the support, i was starting to think i was the only one in here that thinks that way!!!!!!!!!

everyone has a different way of doing things. the way i cycle works for me, and i feel i have less die off on my rock, and my 2 fish i got stuck with won't die either. like i said before i first got 10# of 2 1/2 year old rock from my uncle and the rest is not fully cured(alot cheaper than fully...

by doing water changes you will limit the stress, and you will not have as much die off. you also will not be dragging the cycle on longer than if you didn't do water changes. you have to test your water alot, and babysit your tank. the bacteria is going to grow as fast as it can. as your cycle...

i just started my tank 2 weeks ago, and i agree with mixing lr. i got 15# from my uncle that i used as base rock. he says it's figi, but not very good looking and some is very dense(alot of water displacment).i ordered 60# of not fully cured figi lr for 2.25 a #, and i plan on getting some tonga...

i agree, i'm on my 2nd week w/ lr/ls one yellowtail damsel(my uncle wanted it out of his tank), and a engineer gobi(same deal with this one). i ran my lights for 4 hours the first day, 5 the next and so on. my ammonia really didn't go nutts, but my nitrites and nitrates were through the roof. i...

im in buffalo, and my tank was around 85-86 on sunday. samething i put ice in it and turned lights off. i made my canopy, and right now it holds 260watt pc retro in it. i plan on mh when my tank finishes cycling. any way i installed my 2 4" fans and cut vents over may ballasts, and no problems...

i have my baffles 1.5 inches apart w/ the floss - the bottom between the two. i decided to use only two baffles due to the small size of my sump and i needed space for my protein skimmer. the first baffle is 10 inches high, and the second is about two inches off the bottom and one inch above the...

i have a 75 gal. tank w/ a 29 gal. sump. my skimmer is producing a lot of micro bubbles and i would like some info on stopping them from entering my dt. i do have some filter floss between the baffles i installed. that does work but some still pass through.

i'm trying to set up a 90 gal. tank , and i've been overwhelmed with decisions to make. i have a 29 gal tank i want to make into a sump w/ wet/dry filter , protein skimmer, and refuge. now is this 29 to small? the tank is glass and i was planning on inserting baffles myself. any input would be...
