Hey thanks I appreciate it. Shreveport is only 50 miles from the house. I will definitly look them up!!

First off, Thanks you for the post that I was able to pull up from December about fixing your acrylic tank. I have a Tenacor tank that I had to dismantle before I moved 1000 miles and haven't reset up yet. I decieded that I was going to "fix" the scratches before I refilled it. I was devestated...

Hey, Checking in from Longview..1 hour west of LA. I moved here 6 months ago from Tampa and haven't re-set up my 150 yet because I only have a PET** and a local store that carries expensive junk. I am even willing to drive into LA to find a good store. How is the market in Tyler? I was really...

Can anyone give me any helpful advice on where to buy supplies etc in East Texas(Longview area)? I just moved here and the LFS and Pet** are horrible & expensive. I am willing to drive an hour even into Shreveport LA. Any help would be appreciated in case I need something ASAP. I'm actually...

I recently moved from Florida to Texas and had to dismantle my 150 gallon tank. (This about KILLED me!!). I saved some of the live rock (but of course it is now dead and only good to be seeded). I'm not sure if I need to use all live sand or if I can mix it with the playground sand and also if I...

Hi, I just moved across the country in June and unfortunately had to dismantle my 150 gallon tank..heartbreaking to say the least!!! I saved about 150lbs of the 300 pd of live rock that I had (I keep the least covered stuff) and am going to reseed my tank. Can I just clean and reuse my bio...

I just recieved new lights that I ordered. 2x400MH and 2x110 vho. I do not have a canopy so I ordered a nice, black powder coated, aluminum unit. I was assured that I could go to any lfs and by legs to raise the lights above my acrylic tank. Well..guess what? The only legs I can find are cheap...

Is there an advantage to de bulbs? I notice that they are very expensive to replace. Any help would be appreciated. This light thing is driving me crazy!!!!!

Thanks for the reply. I have definitely decided on the 2(250) and the 2(110) I feel that way I also won't be frying anything either. I too am going the flea bay way. I hope you get everything and that it works well for you. Good Luck!! :happyfish

That seems to be the huge issue. I searched everywhere and every deal that seemed good had no bulbs etc. This is going to cost more than I was hoping for but I don't want to do it again. I already have 4(110)vho's. I guess that I could use that with the MH but my cousin wants to buy them...

:cheer: Ok, I made up my mind 2(250mh) 14k and 2vho's 1 white actinic and 1 50;50. I am goint to press the button soon. Good luck with your lights!

Thanks for the info. I've decided to go with 2(250mh) 14K and 2VHOs' 1 actinic white and 1 50/50. This will give me the intensity I need to reach the dsb in my tank. Thanks again!! My clowns have spawned too but I just thought they "enjoyed" the anenome or something. Have a great day! Kristen

Thank you for the replys! I am going to get a canopy because my husband doesn't want the light going everywhere. Now I feel ok going with a shorter top, which also saves me money because it is being custom built. My tank is 48 inches long and I was thinking of two MH and porbably 2 vhos. If I go...

Congrats on being able to push the purchase key! Are you going to be adding any other light source (VHOS) or are you going to ba able to use the lights you already have and add these?

It's funny that the back of your hood is open because that is exactly what I drew up for the cabinet maker. I was even thinking about drilling holes in the top to remove some heat that way. The cabinet guy said he could install fans too. So, once you install your lights, they will only be about...

I hope I am not imposing but I was wondering if you could help me. I am educated, (actually a pharmacist which is probably my problem!!) but I am having a heck of a time deciding on lights. I think I tend to over analyze so that I feel like I am making the "right" decision. I have a 150gal...

Please let me know what you find. I have a similar size tank but mine is 29 inches high. I was debating between the 400 & 250's. I was also under the impression. that you needed about 24 inches from the lights to the top of the water. Does this make any sense? I was told that this is due to...

1st, let me say thanks for any advice that you have. I am lurking over here from the reef board. I have a 150gallon tenecor acrylic tank. There are 2 acrylic lids that come off of the top. I have under the tank plumbing that returns to 2 pvc's that are branched in 2. Therefore I can send water...

I have a deep (24inch) 150gal tank. At the time of my purchase (tenacor custom acrylic tank etc) I couldn't go for the metal halides due to cost and no place to hang...I got 4x110 vho. Now that my live rock etc is in place. I am looking to go beyond my mushrooms, polyps and bubble coral. I have...

I can't remember where I got mine...I think California via internet? Search the web for custom sea life. They make a totally set up system of just vho. Mine is 4x110. Unfortunately it only give me about 3 watts/gal. I have a deep 150gal and wish there was someway to add more light..good luck...
