Hey so I had a question...I have had my tank for about a year know and I have been using a canister filter for mechanical and biological filtration.... I've been wanting to get some corals and what not....I have the light needed already....I guess my question is can I run the canister filter for...

Thanks for the info guys...I ended up getting a four build aquatic life t5 ho.... that thing is BRIGHT...my whole floor around it is lit up and it is only sitting 3 inches above the tank ...hell the four led moonlights it has are bright

Ok thanks a lot...I really dont like the MH but I guess I can check them out and see if they change my mind....or just might go with the 6 bulb tek...

I was planning on getting ATI bulbs....so even with the 4 bulb fixture do u think it would be enough light to keep a anemone??

Also ive heard that the reflectors on this fixture are a lot better than the cheaper models...I think I priced it at $340 for a six bulb fixture without bulbs....wouldn't that make a difference??

Well I could get the six bulb fixture but it is 14" wide and my tank is only 12"....it would be kind of hard to feed dont u think...How high off the tank would u recommend having the light

Ok thanks a lot I will definitely to that

was looking to upgrade my lighting in my 55gal tank to hopefully be able to keep something esle than fish LOL... i have been looking at this T5 4x54 watts Tek light could anyone let me know about what i could keep with this light?? Thanks in advance

ok so i recently added a HOB skimmer to my 55gal FOWLR. my question is that the skimmer has been running for about two and a half weeks and it has produced some coffee looking stuff...Is that how its supposed to work or is the stuff that goes into the collection cup supposed to be dry?? Any help...

Ok I'll definatly check that out....I've been reading all the reviews of which that rock I ordered and they keep saying that they show no sign of phosphates so hopefully mine will be the same way.....cross my fingers LOL

Ok thanks a lot for all you're guys help.....I would be lost without this forum.....I will update pics once I have everything in the DT:hi:

also to add,,,the diatoms in my tank have gotten worse.... i shut off one of my lights and it seemed to help but it still isnt going no where.... should i be concerned or is it just normal and i should let it run its course???

ok so i should be getting my dry rock in tomorrow. i'll get a tub and fill it with my water change water and test the water before and after the introducton of the dry rock. so how long do i need to soak them for anyway? do i wait til there is no phosphate reading or will all the phosohates stay...
