Hi guys! Can someone tell me if there's a conversion table for LED's? What I mean is, how can I tell if a LED setup gives out enough watts for my corals? Any ideas?? Thanks!!

Has anyone had good luck/bad luck with this product?? It's a total of 144w and I'm wondering if it's sufficient enough for starter clams? It's almost 5watts/gallon. Am I limited to not having any specific coral with this set up? as always,...thanks guys!!

so,...from what I think I'm hearing is to get a less powerful powerhead... I want it for more flow and to try and reach all the dead spots... I plan on putting it on the opposite side of the output valve from the stock nozzle on the biocube,...but about half way down the back of the tank...

Well,...perhaps I'll downgrade to a Koralia Nano 425. I've read mixed reviews on this product. Any insite on the powerhead? Where should I mount this thing?

I plan on putting this puppy in my 29biocube. Is it too much to have with my stock powerhead? Where, oh where do I put it? On the opposite side of the stock outlet valve? thanks!!!

Can I get a general concensus/opinion of having a blue hippo in a 29 biocube....? Is it possible? I see these hippos kept in the small tanks of the LFS on display. I'd like to get an itty-bitty one for my biocube. What do you guys think???

I'm getting another water pump in the next day of two,....to help with water flow. I've only got the stock BioCube water pump on there right now. Tank is fairly new,...a little over a month. I'm getting a CUC from SWF hopefully on Tuesday. I buy water from a reputable LFS here in town...

will the diatom die off raise my tank levels,... or restart a cycle....?

See that hair lookin' stuff... Is that hair algae? I've also got a thin film of brown crap on the water surface, that you can't see in the photo. I'm about to scrub of the diatoms and do a water change. I can't wait for my CUC to arrive!!! Also, what are those green sprouts popping up...

well,....go figure.... SWF sent me an email saying my shipment has been returned to SWF from the airport because of repairs needed to the plane. But FedEx sent me an email saying it's going to be delivered to my home as scheduled. And yet again,...no one is returning my calls from the...

Hi guys! Simple question regarding the acclimation process that SWF recommends. After doing the drip method for the prescribed amount of time, it takes a bit of water out of my tank. Why can you not just dump all the water back into the tank after the acclimation is done? Thanks!

Well,...this morning, I went ahead and ordered a clean up crew for 30-90 gallon tank. Kinda nervous, but we'll see what happens.

Hey guys, I don't know where else to post this so I'm doing it here. Please bump or forward this to the appropriate personnel as needed. I've emailed, called, and left messages with the customer service center of SWF. NO ONE returns my calls or emails. EVERY option results in, "I'm sorry but...
