    Pre-packaged Seawater

    It works great although it can get pricey... I just drive my boat out into the gulf a few miles and fill up a few buckets and my corals seam to react so awesome to it after a water chage to it.. I/m just afraid that one of these days I'm gonna scopp up some red tide or parasites..

    Bang, thig might be a good tool for are members

    Yeah that is a great site and would solve a lot of lighting questions.. I refered a member to it yesterday and I see it got deleted... I don't understand why we can't link sites that don't sell stuff... If anything sites like that would help out saltwaterfish.com.. But o'well.

    Too Much Light??

    Go the vho route with uri super actinics they have a built in reflector.. As for aclimation, cut a piece of eggcrate to fit the top of your tank and put about 5-8 layers of screen over it and remove one layer every 3 days.

    Too Much Light??

    400's are gonna be a little heavy on the electric bill.. You really don't need 400 watters either on a 24'' tall tank.. I'd run 4 240 watt hqi metal halides in pfo mini pendants with pfo hqi ballasts and 14k pheonix bulbs..

    Purple up

    I don't believe in those products, I think there a waste of money. I'd rather spend the time and money on kalkwasser to keep my cal-alk-ph levels stable. Once I started dripping kalk my coraline went nuts know I have to scrape it off the front glass almost every week.

    Holy $$$$ Coral!!!!

    I can not see spending $50 a polyp for a color that has rather dull colors and is tiny... I think shrooms are nicer they any acan lord. If they were cheap like $30 for a small colony no one would buy them because of there dull colors. The only reason why people buy them really is to brag about...
