Problem with retros' with the ind. reflectors is that they are wide: each reflector is 2.5" wide. I wouldn't be able to fit more than 5 or 6 considering the width of the tank... thats the whole problem.... If I can fit 8 bulb unit (Nova Extreme) it does NOT have reflectors. Is it a better...

MY LFS guys (who arent selling lighting, so they have no game here) tell me that MH's are going out and T-5's are just as efficient. I was REALLY leaning toward MH combo... I would like to keep LFS and some moderately challenging SPS Issue is tank is DEEP (26")...do MH's light penetrate...

Cant find 8x54 T-5s with ind. reflectors: does that matter? between the 2: MH with 4x54 T-5s or the 8 bulb T-5...? which one? How hot do the MH's get compared to the T-5s? thanks!

Lighting decision: 90g RR bow (I have precisely 12 7/8 inches width at each end to work with and 47 1/2 L) OPTIONS: (all three fit) 1: stick with my current T-5 4x54w TEK lights with individual reflectors 2: upgrade to a T-5 6 bulb x 54 w with individual reflectors 3: upgrade to a T-5 8 bulb x...

I am considering (read: needing) and upgrade from my T-5 x4 54w Tek lights (216w total). My goal is soft and eventually hard corals. I see many threads on MH vs. T-5, my suspicion is that my tank will run hot in summer (it did before w/ 75g and same lighting). My hunch is to go with an 8 x...

Yes, sold and picked up. thanks for your interest!

I think teflon tape is used to secure when threading together, not to "stop" potential leaks on existing fittings. I would go silicone if you are going to try suggestion 1. good luck!

So, I set up my 90g BF Oceanic Reef ready with water from my 75 gal AG hang on overflow system. The 90g has a Durso drain directly into the sump (white flex tubing). The drain is on the right side directly next to my Octopus Skimmer (currently offline), and the return drain from my UV. The...

Two thoughts: 1: You may want to try adding a "bead" of silicone to where the tubing meets the "barb." 2: Alternatively: and I think a better idea - a barb fitting has threads and therefore is not connecting a "smooth" inner diameter of the clear tubing to another "smooth" outer diameter...

I have just installed a CPR "hang on back" refugium on my 90g Bowfront, I have done a bunch of research on the effectiveness of doing so. In all that research, some very respected individuals have all agreed that it is an excellent "upgrade" to just a trickle wet/dry system. Make sure you keep...

Oniel I am sorry, I believe that it is sold to our message board colleague Bigpapa. If for some reason he should decide against taking the tank, I will be very happy to repost and send you info for your consideration... Thanks so much for your interest!

Sorry these arent excellent quality. The tank was just dismantled, I am planning a good cleaning on Saturday AM. Its in very decent shape... I would love to have uploaded, but I cannot I believe the file is too large? (if you know how to shrink file size, I am more than happy to accommodate?) I...

I am in the Princeton area (1 hr) from Cherry Hill. It is not drilled... (sorry) I just upgraded to a 90g Oceanic reef ready so the sump/T5's, powerheads, etc went into the upgrade. I do have: 2 sets of flourescent's I will throw in as well as an overflow box, pvc piping (and ball joints). I...
