not trying to hijack the thread, but what is the length of the 12g tank? I have the 20" powerquad by coralife over my 10g and it is great, it is 96w and was around $80 for the the lighting.

update....Acouple of weeks ago we had a big ice storm here in Georgia and lost power for a weekend and I lost my clowns. I have started the tank over and the water perameters are great. It has 130w of light over it and like I said earlier it is a 20gallon long tank. I would love to hear any...

Well, with the differences in opinons I think I might try using it in my 20 reef and not in my 10g and see if I notice any differences. If I notice anything worth wild I will post it in here. If any of yall are using the 2 products and see any signs of either growth or problems with the water...

Thanks yall

Does anyone use or recommend either Coral Vite or Coral Accel. A lfs by my parents tried to push it on me when I was in there, but I thought I would ask yall before adding these. Thanks.

Thanks, did you spot feed it with a piece of shrimp or did you use something smaller like invert food and spot feed it with a turkey baster?

Thanks for the help. I was reading some other posts and they talked about spot feeding and then the next post said that they had never spot feed their brain. Any suggestions on that? Thanks again for the help.

First off my system. It is a 10g main tank with the 96watt powerquad lighting system. It has 15lbs of live rock and about 30lbs of live sand. The filter system is a 20gallon long refug/sump with a mag pump that is rated at around 180gph at 3 feet. The system has been up and running for about...

I was reading another thread and the advice given on it was that 48ws would be fine for some of the soft corals that didn't need much light. I personally have a 10g tank with the 98w powerquad over it, but the light system it self was around $90 with shipping and handling, but I already had the...

I also have those battery operated pumps, try the fishing section of a store you can get them for like $3 and the two I have are more powerful then the more expensive ones at the LFS. But the water movement wasn't the problem, it was the fact that the temp of the tank dropped to about 50 couple...

Thanks for the additional help. I am just going to keep researching while the tank goes through its cycle. Any good articles or books that yall would recommend to read on them?

I have been researching a little on the Fuzzy Dwarf and the Antennata(sp?) and from what I have read there is not much difference in max size. Is this true or have I been reading crap? If it is true and I could have either, which one do yall think is more active and easier for a person new to...

I understand. A year ago when I started this hobby there was no way that I could have imagined being upset about acouple of stupid fish, but now I understand.

Thanks yall have been more than helpful.

About how much live rock should I put in the tank? I don't know if you use the same formula of 1 to 1.5lbs per gallon like you use with reef tanks and others. Thanks

Thanks yall. I looked into a few of those UPSs, but like you said I don't think they would have lasted long enough this weekend and the only thing I found that would have were generators and I don't have the funds for one of them right now. I spent today also cleaning out my tank and all of...

I was at the LFS today trading in some of my Hermit crabs and snails, I lost my whole tank(29g) this weekend during the ice storm here in Georgia . They had acouple used pre drilled 33gallon long tanks at a really cheap price ($15). I have already built a 20 gallon long refug/sump. My...

Well, it was a very bad weekend down here in Georgia for my tank. We lost power all weekend (friday at 1am until Sunday at 8pm) due to the ice storm and I lost my breading pair of Maroon Clowns . I also lost both of my large feather dusters. The only things that survived were 9 snails and 7...

again, don't mean to hijack, but what lighting do yall have on your 55s? I have a 55g that use to be an aggresive tank, but now it is empty and I am wanting to restart it as a reef tank. It has a 33gallon long tank for a sump/refugium. Thanks for any help with what lighting would be best for me.

Thanks, do you think the light is strong enough for either of them. Every other post I have read gives different watts per gallons.
