I purchased some Chaeto from renogaw a while back and it must have loved the nitrates in my tank because it has been growing like crazy. Nitrates are now at zero!! (thanks again renogaw). The chaeto has filled the space I originally put it in and I am under the impression that I should take some...

bump, I'll take $100 picked up OBO...

Nice to see you are around here too. Bump, someone make me an offer. I won't be offended, let me know what you think its worth.

I have two 48” 4x65w Coralife Aqualight PC fixtures for sale. One is in perfect working condition and one needs a couple of new endcaps and possibly a ballast. There are no bulbs included with these fixtures. I have a few extra mounting legs that I will throw in with the purchase. Both fixtures...

Got my refractometer today, shipping was fast and everything was exactly as expected. Thanks!!

The light arrived today and was exactly as promised. I'm already completely in love with it. As I said in anther post my girlfriend is already complaining about how bright the living room is so it must be more than enough light to keep anything in my tank

The light showed up today and its awesome. I like the silence compared to the hum of the fans on my old PC fixture. The girlfriend is already complaining about how bright the living room is so it must be bright enough to keep corals

Should be at my place tonight!! So excited

I have the typhoon from Air Water Ice. Its a bit more money but I absolutely love it. The people there are very helpful too. My tap water has on average 280 ppm total dissolved solids and what comes out of the RODI is 0 ppm every time.

ZeroC, those are all good points. I don't have fish yet so I'll be on the lookout for ones that like to jump when start to stock my tank. I like your idea about the weekly bulb / fixture cleaning. I was also going to put some dielectric grease on the contacts to ensure that they don't corrode...

ZeroC, thanks for sticking with this thread. This may seem like a complete newbie question but do I need to worry about snails / fish escaping (killing themselves) from the tank now that I have the glass tops off? Does anyone else want to chime in and offer an opinion before I order bulbs? I...

I'm looking at getting 6 bulbs for the Tek, right now I want to go with D-D Giesemann since they seem to have a good reputation, I was thinking of 3 Midday, 2 aquablue+ (60:40 combination of 6000K and 22000K), and 1 pure actinic. Any thoughts on this setup? Suggestions? Should I just stop being...

Paid, looking forward to getting my light!

It looks like right now I'm going to go with a 6 or 8 bulb tek fixture. Thanks everyone for sharing the information. Now I would like to hear what people think about types of bulbs, I was thinking a mix of 11,000K/actinic mix (like 60% white, 40% actinic) with some pure actinic. Please share any...

I was measuring today and it looks like if I go with the 8 bulb tek I won't have room for lunar lights. What do people think about lunar lights? Can anyone email or PM me with a list of places that have good deals on these fixtures and bulbs? I'm going to go to my LFS tomorrow to look at...

What do people think of $390 for the tek t5 8x54W shipped with tank mounting bracket? I it doesn't have bulbs but I think I can find some somewhere that will still make it cost effective. Can I run the fixture with only 6 bulbs and add two more later if I decide I need them? Matt

I'm interested in seeing the pictures matthew.chabot@gmail.com. What size tank was this purchased for? Thanks!
