This is the setup we're looking at, but hate to have to hang it. 48" ATI 4x54W Powermodule T5 High-Output Fixture w/ Bulbs This...

    We look to be doing a skimmer in the near future, but no, there isn't one right now. Not sure on the sand. He mentioned the powerheads blowing it around, and a fish he had just gotten rid of was moving everything around. Thanks- Originally Posted by Jstdv8 I didnt see a skimmer in any of the...

    We went back today to take measurements, get a water sample, and take some pictures. The water tested great - no issues according to the LFS. I really want your opinion of the refugium. Take a look at the pics ad let me know what you think. We're going to end up keeping a majority of the water...

    All he told me on the powerheads is that they are Seio brand. The lighting is a Current Orbit 260W. I've been checking on what is best for positioning for powerheads, and have been getting mixed reviews. Should I position the powerheads on opposite walls facing opposite walls? Or should they...

    Yes, we are wanting to run corals, and lots of them. Acutally, we are wanting to run a reef tank with fish. Any suggestions on what lights we should look at getting? Also, how much of his water do I need to keep to keep everything alive and happy? He is about 30 minutes away from me. If I...

    Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, the purple "film" is a commercial tint that was applied to the glass. I just wanted to be sure removing it wasn't going to disrupt the current environment. We can tell it's a tint because there are two scratches in it and its peeling at the edges. Also, I...

    First off, my fiance and I are doing salt water for the first time. We have the opportunity to pick up a 90 gallon tank with pretty much everything I think we need, but I have a couple concerns. When we went to look at it I asked him when he had checked his water last. He told me he's never...
