This unit was $140, but I found another combo that had the 15K MH light, 4 T5's and the blue LED moonlights for $200. I don't want to dump $200 and then it break or explode in a month....

it really depends on how cool your home gets during the winter. if it drops lower than say 75*F, you might want to consider one, depending on what you keep Good grief... My house rarely gets ABOVE 72 or 73*, much less 75*! Usually 72 in the summer, 68 in the winter... But I'm a bachelor with no...

Do you think it would be worth a try at that price. MH lights are freaking expensive. Also, I've read alot of places that MH lights only need to run 6-8 hours a day and that I should use HO or VHO flourescents the rest of the time. That the way to do it as opposed to running the MH 12 or 14...

You'll have to substitute those dashes with e bay. Guess is doesn't want to link to outside site.

Has anyone every used this light or have an opinion on it. Price tag looks good, but dont wanna waist money on something thats going to break in a month or not do what I want it to do. Quick Specs on my tank and what I want to do: 44gal pentagon Want to do a reef tank; corals, anemones, several...

I don't know... Wrasses can be pretty sensitive. Maybe the goby took the wrasses girlfriend ms. clownfish on a date without asking... :) Sorry... Couldn't help myself.

Yeah, I read threw all that sticky on tank cycling. I just like to have all my basis covered before jumping into something like this. Helps me to have more than one opinion on stuff... I know exactly what you're talking about now with the egg crate. I just had a brain fart I guess. My bad... I...

Oh, and which tests do I need to buy?

That all makes sense. How long does it usually take to cycle a tank (55 gal)? I'm in no way in a hurry. Just wondering for reference. And is there an advantage to putting down egg crate? Is it simply to keep the tank from cracking? And are we talking about the foam stuff?

Ok, so I've decided to convert my freshwater tank to saltwater after reading on here for almost a year. I've got a protein skimmer and am going to get a canister filter (for now. I'm sure I'll switch to sump eventually) and a power head or two next week. I have a question about cycling the tank...

38. After reading on this forum for a year, finally breaking down and converting my tank. Got a protein skimmer last night... :)

I definately want fish in my tank, not just an invert tank. I'd like for it to be pretty. After all, it'll be sitting in my living room! :) I love the clown fish. They're distinguishable by many people and think I would like to make that my starting point. They need an anenome too, right? I was...

Oh, I forgot to add... I've got a 55gal fresh water tank that I've had running for several years. So as far as some of the basics, I understand. But when you step into salt water, its easy to get overwhelmed, I guess...

I've been reading alot the last week or so on starting up a salt water tank. I've been wanting to do it for years now, but just never pulled the trigger. I think I'm finally going to try to get one going. What size tank would you recomend? Where do you even start? I have a million questions, but...
