well if your going to have a clam and some stonies i would say go with a metal halide fixture. i dont know your setup so i cant really recommend what brand or type. if you have an open top you can always go with a hanging pendant. if you have a canopy you could do a retrofit unit. how deep is...

there is a custom jbj site somewhere. i dont know the name of it,a simple search would probably pull it up for you though

i would say if you are going to upgrade to a taller tank in the near future go with the 250. if you dont see that ever happening then the 150 will work fine.

3 watts a gallon from a pc bulb is much much different than 3 watts a gallon from a MH bulb. like i said depending on the depth of tank and what you wanna keep will give you an idea of what kind of lighting you will need. a shallow tank with softies you will be fine with power compacts. a deeper...

well it really depends on your bioload. if your like me and only have a few small fish in your 125 then i think you would be ok with 2. if you have more fish then i would use 3 and maybe think about getting the large cpr HOB fuge. i have one on my 125 pretty much just to grow pods for my...

you will be fine with the 150s over your 55. i would however maybe get a little lower k rating and supplement with some vho or pc for actinics. you will normally (with most lamps) get a little better par out of a lower k bulb.

3 250 watt DE or even SE with good reflectors will be plenty for a 28 in deep tank. they dont get near as hot either so depending on where you live you may not need a chiller. you will need plenty of ventilation though.

im pretty sure marineland makes a pretty decent HOB canister filter.

yeah, you really cant go off of watts per gallon. it doesnt really work that way, it is par that is important. it really depends on what you want to keep and how deep your tank is. pcs will work just fine as long as your tank is relatively shallow and you only intend on having softies.

a 3 will be just fine for your 55. if later down the road you decide on some high flow corals you can always add another one.

sounds to me like your just pulling in water which would mean that the airline is clogged somewhere. try taking the little black thingy off the intake of the pump and use a toothpick to clean out all the little holes and rinse it real well with vinegar. also try replacing the section of airline...

go with the pro and get the preskimmer box.

as long as the 55 is well established that will work just fine.

what temp do you normally keep your tank at? 84 or 85 shouldnt hurt anything unless it was like a 10 degree swing from normal.

should be fine. most of the time they will work themselves back towards the light. some do get sucked up in intake tubes and such though.

um, just as long as it is not blowing all around it should be fine. they are a lower flow coral.

they will do fine under almost any light. i keep mine mid to low under halides.

ok, first looks to be just yellow polyps. they need nothing, very easy to keep and you can put them low in the tank. 3rd looks like montipora digitata. depending on your lights you might want to keep them a little higher up in the tank. 2nd 4th and 5th all look to be sps too. its hard to tell...
