Hi, I'm working at setting up a 120 gal tall 24" deep 48" total length reef setup and wondering which way to go with lights. I was told by a couple saltwater store people at various locations that T-5's are way better than Mh's and they can keep the same stuff and stuff actually is doing better...

Hi, I decided to go Vho's and was all set to buy, then read that Vho's put out less light watt per watt than a power compact, by almost half! So what's better? I have 220 watts of pc's right now, but half went out yesterday, so I was going to up my lighting, not be the same with vho's. Since...

Hi, I'm updating my lighting. I'm thinking of doing a 48" Icecap Vho Retrofit with 4 lamps, so total 440Watts. This would be around 300$. So, is there heat issues with Vho's like there are with pc's? I've heard their just about as good as mh's but not the same heat, is that true? So, I...

Hi, I had a starfish die in my fish only, and I didn't know it, until I looked for it yesterday, and saw the skeleton. When I tested the water yesterday, my nitrates were high. So I did a 10 gal water change in my 55 gal. That's around a 20% water change. So I did that last night. Now, how...
