Flower do u mean the premium keys live sand from this site? If so, it seems really pricey for 20lbs.

Sugar sized........Live reef sand from SWF is the very best...live aragonite sand is good, and dry aragonite sand is good (be sure to rinse it)   Thanks for the help. :)

Ok im gonna do 1.5-2 inch sand bed. Now which sand do i use? Fine or larger grain?

So a 1-2 inch sandbed will be ok?

Im not trying to avoid a cycle or anything like that. I just wanna do this setup better than my current setup. I guess i could go all dry and seed it with some of my sand from my current set up. Ill save a few bucks. I do see what your saying about it being water weight. And honestly most of the...

Getting ready to set up my 75 rimless. What do you guys think? Not going to do a dsb. Probably 2-3 inches max. All live or just caribsea or an equivelant?

I cant wait to set up my 75. I picked it up today and im dying to get it going. Sump wont be here for another week. Ordering skimmer next week.

It was a few things. I really liked the mounting kit that comes with maxspect. Radions don't have the tank mount option that I need. The price was good as well as the color options.  So the maxspect comes with everything right out of the box right? Mounts, controller etc. Another nice thing...

What made you not get the ecotechs? Just curious cuz im shopping around too. I took the plunge and ordered my lights. Now, onto ordering a new skimmer and heater (now that I need one).

Im a maxspect fan now. Thanks acrylic. You just saved me around $600.

Hmmm...interesting. Cheaper than acan. More color spectrum. I think the optics are wider too. Seems like its built well. Ill have to see some videos of them running before i make a decision. Glad i saw this thread. Now i wont sleep tonight. Thanks lol jk

Ok good point. Now im checking out these fixtures. So far i like what i see. How many do you think i would need over a 75? 3 modules? Quote: Originally Posted by acrylic51 Honestly you can't put the Acanlighting in the same category as the Maxspect P series.....The Acan fixture only utilizes 2...

im thinking about going to NERAC to check it out. Ive never been to any. Quote: Originally Posted by BTLDreef LOL, you just have to buy tickets when they go on sale. I don't think the next one is until Sept. NERAC is in March though on Long Island, and that's always AWESOME!

Have you considered the led fixtures from acan lighting? They will be over my 75g in the near future. Ive seen them in person and they are made well and very bright!!

That reminds me, I have to empty the recycling bin next to the couch. :))): Redeem them. More cash for coral lol

Very well done! Stunning! That anemone is sick. Man i could sit in front of that tank all day, with some cold ones and just relax.

Yea i have a hole saw so it should be fairly easy to drill 2 holes :-)

Not a bad price...... Yea tank and stand for $900. Not bad in my book. I finally found a pic of the stand open and no center brace. All i have to do is cut an opening for the center overflow.

Im in levittown. I was thinking of joining LIRA.
