    Marsaqua led?

    Never heard anything negative about them. Some local people I have ran into swear by them. Say they have gotten a lot of growth by them. Hear say. I just got 2 of the 165w that I haven't installed yet and have a 300w coming in this weekend. I'm just trying to crossover from MH. Electric bill...

    Overflow question???

    I have a question. I got a 65 AGA tank. It has one Mega Flow box offset in the middle. Two openings in the bottom for one drain (1")and one return (3/4").I never really liked the idea of the return coming from the flow box so I made mine coming from the opposite corner straight from the pump...

    I am looking to buy a pair of 250w ballast. I see some selling the old style and new ones. Of course the old style is cheaper but is there a difference in performance between the two?

    Fittings on Brute trash cans

    What kind of fitting are you guys using on the Brute trash cans. Im ready to get started on my ATO going and was wondering if they were uni-seals or bulkhead fittings? Im kind of iffy on the uni-seals. Also what size diameter are you using on the PVC?

    DIY metal halide light fixture.

    Check out craigslist for local business selling their shop lights. Most of them are 400w metal halides and all you have to do is change the bulbs to what you want. Thats what I did on my setup. I bought mine for $25 a piece and just bought the reflectors and was done

    Fish stuck in power head

    I agree with Flower too. That fish was on its way out. Regardless of the size they can beat the suction of a powerhead if healthy. I actually used window screen and covered my powerhead as I used a modded MJ 1200 and the opening were too big. I changed them later on and the opening were smaller...

    Calcium Levels too high???

    As long as your Alk and PH are on the money you wont have a problem running your calcium that high. I would just let it be. My girlfriends tank always runs at 500 for some strange reason in her 24g and her corals do great. Usually when Calcium is high Alk is low so then yes it would be a...
