    T5 Vs MH

    My advice is to get the MH setup. I like the hanging style. If you are ever going to (or even think you might) get a different tank I would get the MH. If you get T5's for one tank and you upgrade or downgrade you will have to get new bulbs and new reflectors which can add up in money. If you...

    What other equipment would you recommend?

    Thanks guys, I have a JBJ auto topoff on the way. I dont know much about controllers and dont really know how many things I have to control. With such a small tank I was just thinking about dosing 2 part calcium and not getting a reactor. You guys think I really need a reactor?

    What is this on my long nose hawkfish?

    It's been there for about a month, so I really don't think it's food.

    What is this on my long nose hawkfish?

    Anybody know if I should be concerned with that white dot on his top fin. I feed squid sometimes and it looks like a little piece of it on his back, but I know it is not. I am just using that as an example to describe it.

    Internal Overflow Box

    I got my tanks drilled about 3 inches from the bottom and about 3 inches from the side on the back side of the tank. Overflows were expensive. I think the pvc idea is pretty good. I would use it if I had to do it again.

    Which light kits to go with

    I went the T5 route and had a nice setup. I then switched tanks and and realized that I would be spending more money on them now getting new bulbs b/c the other ones were the wrong length and that means that I had to buy new reflectors too. I was looking at the price and by the time I got all...

    wtb rbta!

    Google DFW Marine Aquarium Society and look in the forums. A guy by the name of mickeyw43 has some of the most beautiful rbta I have ever seen. They seem to split very very often, which makes them worth the price. Anyways, he has some for sale. Look at some of the pictures of his tanks too, they...

    How high to mount MH's and do I need actinics

    Thanks guys. I will mount them that high and make them adjustable. I just posted about how to add actinics, but if you dont think I need them I might wait to see what it looks like without them and then go from there. What type of bulbs would you put over each tank? I dont guess the frag...

    How to add actinics to MH retrofit kit?

    I just bought 2 250 watt MH kits that I am going to hang from the ceiling to go over a 20L frag tank and a 30 gallon tank. I have 3 spare T5 ballast that I could use for actinics. How would you guys put everything together so it looked ok.
