Hello my fellow tank mates I just upgraded to a 2X250W MH's with 12 moon lights from a PC 4X65W. How long should I run my MH's for as I'm new to MH and now I do not have any actinic's so I'm a little lost. Also where do you guys have your ballast located? Right now my fish tank is looking...

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone uses just MH on their tanks? I have a 120g and was looking at buying 500w MH w/ lunars. I have a PC with daylight and actinics now and could run them both at the same time unless its okay to do just MH. Any input will be appreciated. Thank you, Jeff

Hello Everybody, I first got into SW b/c of the fish and now I'm into SW for the corals...well the fish too. But I bought a Zoa frag and had a hard time finding a place for it b/c of my water flow. I was wondering what you do to get it to stay where you want it too? Do you superglue (not that...

Hello, I have 2 OC's one larger then the other so hopefully they pair up. But any way, how much flow do these guys like? When I first put them in my 120g I had two #4 Koralias going with my over flow from my sump a #12 Mag drive. I left them on over night and when I got up the smaller one was...

Hi all, I have yet to get my tank going as I'm taking things very slow as money is tight. But my question is this...can a 120 be set up on the first floor and the only place that I can put it will run with the floor trust not across them. Can I put a couple of poles up in the basement right...

Hello to all my SW friends, I'm planning on buying (2) 45lbs LR from SWF and wondered if they will pack heat packs with the LR. I live in Michigan where its anywhere from 0 to 32F everyday. Thank you for any info you might have.

OKay, I try and do research through the "posts" here at the forum before I ask but I'm finding pieces of info that is starting to confuse me...and no that is not hard to do. I see that most people here say to get rid of the bio-balls and replace them with what? I think I've seen a filter sock...

Hello again, Post #3 yes I'm moving up to "OLDER NEWBIE" very soon. Anyway here's what I have going on with my SWF hobby. About a year ago my buddy gave me a used 75gal tank and I was pumped. I bought everything I thought I needed with his help and away I went. I started with my substrate...
