    new addition and question.

    What wattage of bulb do you have? 14k that looked yellow - what brand? What color do you want from your bulb? From there we can recommend a bulb/kelvin.

    Where can I get t5 lighting?

    Try the Nova Extreme Fixtures. At 4ft long of a tank you can get 4 or 8 bulbs in a fixture that sits right on top of your tank. I bought mine at (edit). Little heat and looks great if you don't have a canopy.

    Why we use skimmers

    This is the crap I pull from my ev-240. Thick enough to hold a quarter up.

    Return pump size

    Return pump = to skimmer pump. I have a mag 12 return and a mag 18 skimmer pump. I like to think that all water going through my sump first entered my skimmer. Starting a cycle could be done with damsels or raw shrimp would definetly cause a cycle to start.

    Tank looks nice. One thing I hate about standard stands is there only 30inchs tall.

    Refugium size vs tank size

    I understand any size refugium to be better than none. Bigger is better but is there a rule like 1 gallon refugium to 20 gallons of display to be effective. What size refugium to size of tank?

    Barebottom skimmerless..Anyone?

    Total volume of water? Tank? Refugium? How many fish? I've seen numerous tanks able to run with out a skimmer but after you run a skimmer and see the crap it pulls out of the water why would you not want to use a skimmer?

    Coralife 10k 18"T8 bulb

    Is the bulb connected properly (good tight connection)? Are the caps clean? All I could think of.

    thinking about t-5s

    I run a Nova Extreme with 3 luner lights and fan built in. Cost 189$ The fixture is 36inchs long but they also sell a 2 ft model but your tank size is 30inchs.

    lighting

    There is so many great lighting combos to choose from. First you should decide what kind of corals you would like to keep. Google this "Lets talk about lighting an SPS tank" Lots of reading to be done.

    What model Precision Marine skimmer is that? Is it creating foam? Is the foam not reaching the collection cup?

    John's New Tank Diary.......

    Nice upgrade! Odd size tank. Be sure not to put anything to close to your Fuzzy Green Hydrnophora it has long tenticals. How is the color of your sps recovering now that your system is in check? What lfs do you patron? How is your skimmer working with that big bio-load?

    My new 90 gallon system up and running

    No sand just bare bottom. I'm thinking now that I should have put white board down (whatever it's called) to give it a more natural look. I plan on sps in the near future so the more turnover the better. Tuesday I'm adding a few more creatures (cleanup crew and a fish or 2) before I go nuts...
