    Coralife Elite Mh or should i... go with HQI

    Yes, you are correct. Also, should you include Actinic 03 wattage in the total wattage per gallon calculation? Also, do you think that's a good price on the Coralife Elite 48" 542 watt series?

    NOpe no sleeze-bay, brand new coralife elite's from a great online retailer. They have 72" avaialbe too. Compairing the major differences of plain Mh vs HQI (double ended) is the only real major difference heat?

    Powered Blue Tang - SHipped in Hypo Water

    It's also known to ship fish in low salinity for stress reasons (and ph). SO maybe that's why it says 4 hours to acclimate :-) Doesn't appear to have any ICH on him, fins and gills look great! He is a monster though.

    So I was cleaning my tank today and all of a sudden..ZAP

    Thanks I will look over all my timers and surge protectors too. Now here's a good question. I own a older home that has the old "knob & tube" wiring, which I do not think is grounded (just 2 wires, hot and netural (white & black)) So can I actually run a GFIC or a grounding probe? Or BOTH...
