Okay. Tanks up, finally. Lights are on. Ill take the pics now and they will be up in the morning. :) Mark

Pics are coming, I promise. Why do you wish you had stuck with the T5s? Because of the heating issue? Mark

I love the yellow leather and carnation. Looks great. I see the diatoms, too. Looking good. Mark

Wow. This is gorgeous. Great work. Mark

Sounds good to me. I have read that, I just wanted a first-hand account I guess. If you get the 200g boxes, the price difference is just $5 I believe, so if the --(forgot R..C can standfor something other than reef crystals. No more acronym for that ) is indeed better for the trace elements...

With that logic, would T5 lighting be a good middle? Mark

Your coralline should be more prominent. It should spread quicker, in theory. Mark

As some of you know, I will be setting up a reef relatively soon and I was wondering if I should use IO reef crystals or Sea salt and what the differences really are. Theres not much of a price difference, but I was going to buy (2) 200gal boxes (one to start all 150g of my tank, plus whatever...

Absolutely. Ill get it set up tomorrow and take some photos to share. Its sitting disassembled on the floor right now. I need at least one person to help me lift this baby from the floor onto the stand. Its terribly heavy, as Im sure you all know. If I can get another person here, it will be...

Okay, so I picked up the tank today and everything looks great. The seals are all super good, overflows are great, stand and canopy are in tact and sturdy. Everything looks good. It is sooo heavy though! -_- The tank came with two Coralife Aqualight PC lights. Each is 36", 2x96W PC + 2xLED...

Is that one huge GSP on the left rear of your tank? This series is interesting. Absolutely awe-inspiring. Looks great! Mark

Okay, well Im having serious issues finding 72" T5 lighting fixtures. The ones I did find were the Aquatic Life 8x39W + 6 lunar LEDs and the Nova Extreme Pro 12x39W T5 fixtures. Both have two fans. The only difference I can find is the name and $150. The question is, would either of these...

That's exactly what I was going to have. 3-4" SB. I should have considered that. I want to try to make sure I dont have to run a chiller, so I will look into T5s also. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Mark

You have a PM, my friend. Mark

What are the dimensions of your tank? I see the 2xMH fixtures only come in 60" and 48" lengths. Mark

Hows this: Coralife Aqualight Elite: 3x250W MH + 2x96W True Actinic 03 Blue CF Or Hamilton: 3x250W 14K MH + 2x140W VHO T5 + 3xMoonlights (18 individual blue LEDs) Mark

Maybe Im thinking too far ahead or being too presumptuous too soon, but I was thinking about an equipment list for this big boy. I keep getting stumped on the lighting. Because it is 27" deep, the first thing I thought was halides. I honestly dont know all I should about halides before asking...

I will be picking up a tank soon. Either a 135g or 150g. I wanted to make it into a reef, so I was wondering if anyone had any photos or could link me to some (while still abiding by the forum rules) so I have something to aspire towards. I can start it off: http://www.vimeo.com/1255118 Mark

Thats what pushed me more towards the 150. 1) Still in the house, hasnt been sitting atop things in a shed for months 2) Predrilled. 3) Stand 4) Canopy 5) Dimensions. I like the extra height. 6) Fair price, I think. Mark

Okay, just talked to the owner, so if all goes well, the 150 will be picked up monday. Mark
