Its extremely frustrating. Its causing me to upgrade if I want to get a sump and fuge.

Ok thank you both.

Im pretty sure Im going to going with xxxxxxxxxxx They seem pretty reliable, Ive heard good reviews, I see many people with their units, and they have lots of accessories. Thank you for your advice Jackri I dont have that much room under my kitchen sink or laundry room but I have much more room...

Awesome transformation. I love seeing the changes. I also have a 55g reef with an Aqua C HOB and a HOB filter. Id love to change it to a HOB fuge but I think Im just going to wait till I upgrade and get a full blown sump/refugium.

Ok I will look into those instead. Thank you. I didnt want to get something that was from an unnamed brand. Always better to trust the pro's EDIT: Just checked thefilter guys. They have a OCEAN WAVE+ FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI for 160.00. Should I get this? Does this come with the stuff needed to...

110gpd it says. And ya, sorry, it is was 132.00 free shipping.

There is a 6 Stage RO/DI unit off E B A Y for $159.00 w/ free shipping. It is made for aquarium use and drinking water use. The seller seems legit, its a top rated seller, and has lots of other items for sell as well as attatchements and acessories for the RO/DI Unit, itself. Should I buy this...

Ive been using these when I set up my 40g tank with a 20g sump. I use them from the inlet to the ball vavle, to the other side of the ball valve, then from the outlet to the ball valve, to the other side of the ball valve and then I put one on my return pump. This clamp gets submerged in water...

Hmm. That was a bit confusing. I may just keep the lights I have now. They seem to be good at growing Coraline and keeping coral healthy and alive. Id rather upgrade to a 75g or 90g and then buy a fixture that I was looking at in the first place. Thank you for your input.

And if I get 14k or 20k bulbs, the spectrum will be more blue and look as if I do have Actinics? Is 500w too much for a 55g or will it be ok?

How about this? Its a 4ft Metal Halide Reef Aquarium Marine Light 500W. It comes with 2 250w MH fixtures, its 48.00” x 11.00” x 5.75”, comes with 6 blue moon lights, and cooling fans. Would this be a good choice even though it doesnt come with actinic supplement lighting...

And if you regulate these daily, you wont over dose? The corals deplete these chemicals daily? Id like to keep SPS but dont want to invest in a Calcium reactor or anything like that. What are good brands to use for dosing?

What about if I only got a fixture that had MH lights? Would that be ok for keeping corals if I got two Phoenix 14k bulb?

Maybe I should do that. Id like to buy this 6 bulb system but its 18'' wide and my tank only being about 13'' thick. If I hang this system would it be ok? Light spillage isnt that big of an issue.

Right now I have a 4bulb T5HO system. I think Im going to skip on the MH + T5 fixture. I already have to fight a heat issue because I live in AZ. Should I buy the other one? Right now upgrading is not an option. When I do, its going to be to a 125 probably.

Right now I have a 4 bulb T5HO system. It is good but I am looking to upgrade so I can keep a few SPS in the tank. Ive always wanted MH's. I dont have a canopy to mount lights on. My tank is open top. I did also find a 48'' 6 bulb T5HO system. It is 18'' wide with my tank being about 12-13''...

Id really love to get the system. Its only $350 for it. Is there any way I can maybe get different bulbs or do something to lower the wattage? Ive never used MH's before.

Hmm. I think I may just make a 10g fuge instead. I really dont mind seeing equipment. I have a HOB skimmer too. Dont feel like searching for a in sump skimmer. Think a 10g fuge is good for a 55g reef? And where would I find a HOB overflow? Thank you for your effort.

Will this 4 ft Metal Halide HQI T5 HO Marine Reef Light 716W be too much for my 55g reef? Its a stardard 55g long I guess. Its too 250w HQI MH with T5's. I would love to keep a couple simple SPS. I will have mostly LPS and softies. I plan on just using the legs to mount it but if the light will...

Is there any way you can illistraight that for me? Id really appreciate it.
