YEah thats all I was concerned about was the lighting. I know water has to be perfect, for right now It is going to be a softies tank. I was just asking for the future. thanks

First off my tank is kind of recovering, Im not adding any SPS or clams anytime soon. Maybe a month or 2, the tank it self has been up for about 2 years. Im getting an ARO 150W MH kit tomorrow and I plan on putting a phoenix 14K bulb in there. Along with the MH I will also have two 24W T5 HO...

i think thats fine, maybe put it near a pump. If it doesnt do well, add another pump.

T5 should be a problem. They are right up there with MH to me. I have two 24W T5 HO bulbs over my 29 without reflectors and they do a lot better with my zoos than 130W reflected PC did. I have a MH light coming next week, so I will have my T5 and MH which should be pretty cool

yup, just checked. You want it around 20 times.

I cant remember exactly but I think somebody said on here it should be around 20 times. Like I said I have almost twice of much as you in a 29 and im looking to replace the less powerful head and a stronger power head.

everyone was to hate on AquariumRookie I guess. Looks like a nice light. Good luck selling.

congrats, yeah corals shouldnt be a problem for your lights. Lets see those pics.

Yeah, your not asking too much. Just nobody really buys complete tanks. I guess they rather set up their own. If you part out you would probably sell most of the big things, like your light, tank, filters and LR. Im not saying that you will get rid of everything. If you part, I might be looking...

I think you need to find out what the problem is. If you use that Med thats fine, but who is saying that it wont come back? Im going to bet that you dont have enough flow going through your tank, or possibly too much light. Those are 2 easy fixes. It would help if you told some information about...

How long can I have LR out of my tank before it would go through a mini cycle? I want to re-arrange things so I need to take some of the rock out, take a chisle to it and start re-arranging. But I dont want a mini cycle to start.

20K is too much blue. Ill look at some pics.

There should be an air adjuster somewhere on the skimmer. All the skimmers Ive had have a air house coming from the pump that comes up near the spout(I guess thats what you call it) and it has a knob that you turn to adjust it. The first skimmer I ever got I didnt know what I was doing, I...

What is the MH bulb? 10,000K? 12,000K? etc? Im not exactly sure what MH bulb I would like to use, along with the T5 that is. I kind of want a blue tint, but I dont want it to be blue all the way. If that makes any sense.

Nice, I have a 29 Im working on getting a nice light. What type of lighting do you have?

I was going to but doing just the T5 on my 29. But I found a 150W MH retro kit and if all goes well, I will have over my tank soon. Do you think if I put the reto in my canopy and change my T5 to both actinics, would it be too much? The are both the 24" 24W. I had a 175W Mh retro over my tank...
