aha, guess im buying an MH for my next light setup...anyone want to trade their MH for a 1000watt hydro HPS light? :D

lol...i knew ide end up sounding like a noob :) I guess thats pretty important...dont add something you can't test for (or havn't tested for)...I just read that in another thread, seems to be todays theme (I learn something every day:D ) ok I need to go to sleep...im officially addicted to the...

About the watts per gallon "rule", I think he was trying to say that its more of a "guideline" than an absolute rule. But, since the guideline is pretty vague (5-10 watts per gallon), and most people have pretty similarly shaped tanks, I dont think you could really go wrong as long as you err...

"True perc." = Percula "False perc." = Ocellaris :)

You'll have plenty of light for softies and some sps corals 9.8 watts per gallon sounds like plenty of light for just about anything...am I missing something? Just how much light do you need for SPS?

lol I was going to say the same thing...better get a fire extinguisher

This coming from the person who hatched a bamboo shark in there 50. well if we are going to slander people maybe we also shouldnt take advice from someone whos into "racing and pimping"....your new too buddy, it would be nice to hear from someone with some experience

good thing it wasn't your finger, youde have to type one-handed

that dolphin pic is the cutest pic ever...i hope I have kids someday :)

could someone explain what a "closed loop" is...ive heard references to this but Im confused ps. sorry for the "hijack" :rolleyes:

WOW, thats all I have to say...well maybe not...those pics are truly inspirational to a beginner like me, the kind of stuff that gets people interested in this hobby. Im in awe of both your abilities as a reefkeeper and a photographer. A picture is truly worth a thousand words, and yours are...

Ive officially changed my avatar for the Orange Bowl.....bring it on Ty

yeah thats enough light

Yep, that's what I've been using.. Kent's Turbo Calcium, SuperBuffer DKH, Turbo Stronium, and the Mag I get from epsom salts... Squidd, when using all of these additives together, do you mix them all at full strength or do you have to compensate? (sorry if this is a noob-ish question) :notsure:

ok so I think I get how you make the rock, but how do you make it live? or dont you?

The problem with adding LR to a tank that already has fish is the tank will begin to "cycle" (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates will rise to very high levels) once you feed your fish. To avoid this most people add the LR and begin "feeding" their fish before the fish are in the tank, allowing about a...

kinda goes into the same category as "if it aint broke don't fix it" Do I NEED iodine and calcium supplements? I think the answer to your question is "no"

I wouldnt suggest drilling them, simply because it will take too much time and effort when you could just stack them....but if you decide to do it make sure to post pics and 'after' shots :D

Sorry, but on a 29 gallon eclipse, that skimmer looks like crap. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of having the all-in-one eclipse I think this whole thread defeats the purpose of an "all-in-one" eclipse, but thats just my opinion too :rolleyes: I think that huge DIY skimmer looks cool...

I think the stain would attract more attention to the whole package which is good IMO. I also like more "natural" looking stands because tanks are so natural (you know..fish, corals and stuff)...so I think they go well together (by natural I mean that you can see the wood grain, etc.) You can...
