    My 125 soon to be system design

    L.O.T.R., Doesn't the refugium allow for critter and algae growth with out the preditors? This system is almost what I wast trying to come up with (I think this guy has done my work for me though :) ). The idea is to have some place for critters (pods, algae, etc) without preditors. What...

    how critical is UV?

    I thought they killed beneficial things too though. I was under the impression that you did _NOT_ want to use this with a reef set-up.

    Miracle Mud ... what is it?

    What does it do for you? I've seen references to it and I'd like to find out what it is and what it does for a reef. Thanks

    What would you do differently if you owned>>

    I'd have stripers, beer, and Captain Morgens at mine, but hey I'm still a novice when it comes to reefs. Just curious on how many successful hobby-ests end up selling frags/critters back to LFS?

    Should I buy this system?

    I'll check about the instore credit. This deal seems pretty good. I went to take a look at it last night and everything was in good shape. His sump is a rubber maid but that is easily changed. One of his mushrooms was about 8 inches in diameter. They were growing like weeds :) . There's...

    Should I buy this system?

    It's somewhat a matter of money. My wife doesn't want me to spend the $2500-$4000 on a system (LR, lights, equipment).

    For ALL newbies!

    If most LFS keep copper in their FO tanks than how do you acclimate one of their fish into your tank? You can't gradually introduce them by combinining water. How do you introduce the fish than?

    Ethical ... Illigal ... ?

    Ok, say I go to Hawaii. I can go out several miles from the islands on snorkling trips. Would it be unethical and/or illigal to grab a gallon jug worth of sand in/near a coral reef then overnight it back to my house on the main land?

    Is Metal Halide lighting alone enough?

    Accurate, How do you have anything else with a Pendant? Doesn't the other light block the light coming from your pendant?

    how to confirm cleaner shrimps got eggs

    So all you need is a separate tank? Is it to late once they've molted or do you just take the old-exoskeleton and put it in the separate tank? Seems to me that having a 10 gallon set up on the side wouldn't be that hard.

    baby cleaner shimps

    I've heard of people raising them now. They resell them to their LFS. I thought it was on this board too.

    Is Metal Halide lighting alone enough?

    My big concern is that if I have pendant lights then I can't really put any other lights on the system right? Because the other lights would be in the way of the light coming from the MH.
