I found a good deal on 2- 200 watt MH retrofit kits <Check that wattage again and what k rating are they?> another good deal on a vho retrofit 440 watts <Would that be 4 VHOs of 110 w each? Are they 50/50, Actinic?> Will this be to much light for this size tank? <Don't know until we get other...

Squidd, We know. Shocking isn't it. That is why the first weekend we had it we basically removed everything and re-wired. I don't know how the other person was using it like that. Still it was a good deal...all we wanted was the sump and plumbing. Steven'sUN, Yes, it is that simple.

Hey Ryan, where is your t. Crocea located? Up, midway, or down in tank? Also need to know the depth of your tank. How often do you feed?

Beth, that is a problem with me too. Take 50 pics and hope at least one comes out. Love the colors in your tank. Very soothing.

Cindy, where did you hide the wiring? That looks very nice.

I try to work with our LFS because like it has been mentioned if you don't they will be gone. I just make sure that I do my homework. I do the research. I decide what size speciman I want for my tank. Then I go in with my list. Sit there while the order is being called in and get the total...

skyjenn, Welcome to the board.:cheer: We are so glad you are here. You are from one of my favorite areas. We have family in Jacksonville, and of course, the Braves are just minutes away in GA. I know they are in a slump right now, but let's don't kick em when they're down. Yes, a difinite...

fishorbust, when you acclimate a fish, you need to acclimate more than just the temp. It is good to have lights off, drip some tank water into bag slowly, as the bag fills, take some water out and throw it away. Continue to replace with tank water. All of this is done slowly, over a period of...

So I guess that means you don't live right outside of Brady which is the heart of Texas. Ok tank talk. We have a lot of friends in South Texas that use play sand and swear by it. I wonder if the PHs are keeping it stirred up too much for it to settle? Do you have lr in your tank yet? I put...

rdursch, "What are the differnces between, 1) MH, 2) VHO, 3) acitin, and 4) coarl life..." Sometimes it can be preferance. MH, higher k, wattage, brighter lights, deeper intensity and is great for hard corals. VHO, (Very High Output), lower watts, good k Actinic, blue hues We have: 1 MH, 250w...

My LFS does a special order every two weeks for me. But I know there are some online to buy from. Have you checked SWF online store? Curiosity peeks.....I'm going to check now in case my lfs goes out of business.

Roggy23, we have most of ours at the top. In each tank we have one that is 1/3 of the way down under top of water. They face the front glass, hit it and spray out. One tank has the rotating ph. I really like it. It is in the middle back facing forward with 45 degree rotation.

hiddenicon, "first of all i want to tell everyone that has helped me so far tahnks" That is what we're here for, to serve each other. As long as your water perimeters are fine, I think the usual conscientious is about once a week. Someone will be along to let me know otherwise. With a new...
