You know that by saying none allowed they are more likely to come. Btw, to put it bluntly I dont think that tang will last, though its not impossible I suppose.

huh i can't get the chart to post...

I found an article but it has a bunch of advirtisements for competitors so I'll just take the chart of the PUR. "When we compare the spectral qualities of the LED array and the metal halide lamp, we see that the Solaris produces more PUR"

Ok teen one thing you don't understand is this.: MH's look brighter to us as they are using red/green type of lighting which our eyes pick up better. LED's use blue/white lighting which corals Pick up so much better than MH's. Pretty simple really. And what I was trying to say is that my corals...

Yeah I have 3 units of chemi-pure in there and I am removing the bio-balls but I am having trougble figuring out what skimmer I should/can get.

Hmm I am looking around and the problem I am having is I already have 2 things hanging off the tank and no room on the sump so its hard to really find something.

Thanks for all the advise guys and King Kole I toke no offense sorry if it sounded that way I just couldn't figure exactly what you were saying.

King- Hmm i am probably not smart enough to follow that but I would argue that since anaerobic (oxygen free) bacteria breaks down trates then oxygen free pockets would be a good thing. Dennis- When I first started I had 250lbs of live rock about 20 (didn't list all the corals) pieces later I...

Definatly look at solaris LEd's absolute best you can do.

Galileo not quite sure what the difference is though.

I have about 5 huge clams moving around in the sand it it always seems to stay overturned. I am removing bioballs but wont live rock do exactly the same with having to clean them? The skimmer is the one that came with the wet/dry 150. the pump ia acually Oversized. Im just as much at loss as you...

I have about 270lbs (or more with all the corals) and about 6in deep sand bed I do water changes twice a week. I probably do overfeed but they eat it all in seconds so I can't be sure.

My 125g tank in a about a year old or a little more and since the beggining i have had a nitrate problem. At first I had nitrates around 80 so I started doing water changes taking 5g out and putting 10g (evaporation is high) and I bought a HOb 5g fuge and about 5 bags of chaeto. Through all...

Im in western maryland. In the Apalacians(sp) all I have is a rio HP 3000gph too much for a tank but maybe a pump.
