    T-5's

I would go with 8 individual reflected and run 2 Ice Cap 660 4bulbs each..to overdrive the bulbs to give you the penetration you need on that deep of a tank. then get some good bulbs like ATI blue+ ATI Aquablue special UVL Aquasun 10k Giesemann aquablue plus you should be...

    my PearlBerry

    thats what this was..they are growing ORA stuff out and making their own frags and selling cheaper..but this one was actually just part of a frag that came in and broke..So I got it cheap

    Regular Super glue not gel is BAD

    well usually every dollar store I have ever been to has the 3 pack of Gel and I always get that..3 times the amount of glue for half the price of anywhere else.

    Watt Question?

    watts per gallon is as useful as having a bucket with a hole in the bottom. Dont even use it

    Ho T5?

    that def wasnt an amphipod then..or maybe the colony was already dying and they were just cleaning up. They will run all over them but not harm them. sure you dont have them confused with an isopod
  14. 05xrunner

    Ho T5?

    why dont you want amphipods? they are good to have..little cleaners of the tank. Yes you still need live rock. not as much I would say if your not putting any fish in or maybe 1 or 2 small ones..20-25lb is how much i would use.

    Ho T5?

    recommend as in? I have never setup just a pure frag tank. If I did I would make the eggcrate shelf's and then put live rock under them and bare bottom. then let it cycle.

    Ho T5?

    Ho T5?

    Individual reflectors...That is the thing with T5 that make them what they are..without them then they are no better then PC lights. here is what the fixture looks like..well this is my 24" version of it this is with the stock bulbs the only thing with this light..is you have to hang it or make...
  18. 05xrunner

    Ho T5?

    yea the stock lights are just fine..just to get the most out of the fixture those are the bulbs I would get..its what I am getting..I have the blue plus but need to order the 10k and aquablue still
  19. 05xrunner

    Ho T5?

    yea Zoas are easy...PC is enough for them. my recommendation for bulbs are ATI Blue Plus ATI Aquablue Special UVL Aquasun 10k ATI Blue Plus
  20. 05xrunner

    Ho T5?

    yep..I have the 24" 4bulb one..got it before they sold out..its a GREAT light..exact copy of the TEK..and when you change the bulbs to high end ones you can probably keep the sps midway down in the tank. the stock bulbs will be fine if you keep the SPS higher
