    need help...new 225, or 180 gallon reef..which is better

    that is quite the setup. thanks for the pics. i'll be getting my whole setup within the next week-2weeks. i'll have to check to see how much room is in my canopy. i'm pretty sure it is a 15", or 17" canopy. how large of a canopy is needed for the reflectors? if they will fit then i...

    need help...new 225, or 180 gallon reef..which is better

    yeah, kind of the same place i'm in. i really like both blue and black backgrounds. the tank i have now has a black background and the algae has grown steadily. the nice thing about the blue is that it brightens things up so much and does help the live rock and fish stand out even more...

    that sounds relly cool. i will definately check out that site. a picture would be cool. i already told the store to go ahead and get me the 225 gallon tank. it would have been hard to pass up seeing as it was a $1000-$1200 better value for free. one last question for you....black, or blue...

    need help...new 225, or 180 gallon reef..which is better

    thanks for the reply. i know that the lights will have no problem with the 6' long 24" deep tank that i was originally going to get. my main question was that they are offering me a 6' long 30" deep 225 gallon as a replacement for my 180 that was damaged in shipping. i'm concerned about the...

    i ordered a 180 gallon acrylic reef tank and they put a fork through it in shipping. they are offering me a 225 gallon($1200 more expensive) tank to replace it, or i can wait another month for a replacement to be made along with a 10% discount. normally i would be wanting to jump all over the...

    225 gallon 30" high vs. 180 gallon 24" high reef tank

    yeah, becuase of it being acrylic. the manufacturer said no chance on 400 watt metal halide lights. they said there was a good chance of melting and bowing over time.

    what fish are eating my shrimp???

    as far as the coral banded shrimp goes....he was the last thing i added to my tank. he only lasted two days. the other shrimp had already been eaten before he was added. i wouldn't normally have added him without figuring out what was eating my shrimp, but he was free.

    what fish are eating my shrimp???

    o.k., so pretty much any of my fish could have eaten them. the two remaining cleaner shrimp have stayed strong for four months, so they must have learned how to fend for themselves. thanks for your input.
