I'm really into bryopsis these days but here's a shot my my old sps tank from a few years ago

I can do that....I have a ton of bryopsis to give away... What kind of corals are you into?

you'll need the HQI ballast for the DE pendantbulbs.....go with the 20K's...Even beter aske if you can get a refund and not take the bulbs, chances are their lousy bulbs.

oh man, where's the overflow? You can put any valve in your sump as long as there'a no metal.

Naw, things aren't going as good as they used to. My newcurrent tank is built over ancient Indian burial grounds. The last shipment of sps frag I sent out was worth about 200-300 bucks plus the 90.00 shipping. A mistake that I made caused the loss of everything, including my 90.00 shipping cost...

I know George, can you believe these guys are calling me a [hr]

The 90 and 120 are the same lenght?...I'd go with the 120...if you going with a reef tank then I'd go with someting like my old custom 150 that was 24" tall x 30" wide and 48" long. The 30" wide really makes for a good reef and it no harder to light then the 48" 90.

I got to tell ya. I saw Erics (Fragfamer) MRC beckets head yesterday when I was over there checking his PO4's for him (New Hannah PO4 Colorimeter).. That's one hec of a skimmer, But now that I see what this Geo's doing after just one week and I'm still running the Euro Reef along with this new...

Originally Posted by Speg I would agree with gol if he didnt come off like a [hr] like you mentioned. You must understand. I don't mean to come off soundling like an [hr] it just come natural. I guess I'm luck in that way. I love it when people hate to agree with me :hilarious

Originally Posted by acrylic51 Exactly like Golfish stated.....Low E and Starphire are different to a point.....Starphire is exclusive to Dupont I think it is that is there brand name and is a little clearer than Low E, but Low is definitely worth the money IMO Shawn, I think Staphire is PPE...

I'd start with getting the nitrates to zero

Lots of unions and ball valves...You need to think everything through when it comes to cleaning and breaking down the tank.

I'd sell the PC's and go with 2x250 watt pendants using 14K or 20K bulbs. You'll be able to keep anything you want under those and wont have to waste power running the PC's...you could mount a reflector, mogul sockets and PC on a hoodcanopy and hang it over the tank but in the long run your...

Shawn, I know your out there.......

You might want to take a look at the geo skimmers..also the MRC's are nice if you want a Beckets design. I just setup this custom recirc Geo a few days ago (retail 550.00) Its equal in size to ER's RC8-3 model
