    best size powerhead for 180 reef

    i would recommend 3-4 koralia 3s or something around there. the problem with one big one is it makes a strong current in one place, but leaves dead spots in others where waste develops. what you want is more small phs to make good consistent current

    mh wattage for a standard 125?

    i'm not sure, but i think with 3x175 you would be fine. Whatever you do, get three of them b/c one mh bulb is good for about 2 feet the other thing you can do is 3x150 and like 4 36 inch 39 t5s with some reflectors. this would probably look better, but it would be more expensive to get

    feeding too much?

    black false perc's

    another questions somewhat on topic. i no that they are the same species as normal ocellaris, so they can mate, but will they pair up (or at least not kill each other) if you put one of each in a tank.

    adding acrylic baffles to glass sump

    you can use any normal power saw to cut them. i was able to cut .22 inch with my dads table saw and not damage the blade. also, if you go to lowes or home depot (i forgot which, maybe both), they will cut it for you on-site
