    Good Temp Controller?

    Get a Ranco. Super reliable. And can turn on heaters or fans. Or both. Very accurate, and last forever.

    H&S Protein Skimmer

    I've had mine about 3 years now. Got one when they first started really moving some volume in the states. It is a great skimmer, but for the money you can get about the same thing for quite a bit cheaper. I have an A200-2x-2001

    Need help w/ my Cali Ray

    I had mine close to 2 years running mid 70's. Probably 74ish most of the time. Looking back on it, there's a lot of coldwater stuff you can keep at warmer temps, but it isn't that great for the animals. Have you thought about putting a fan on your sump/pond, etc.? You can drop 5 degrees off...

    LFS and profit margins

    UV Sterilizer question

    Just a heads up guys, I've read several reports of Turbo Twists catching fire. Might want to try a different brand.

    MH light question.. 14000K 20000K?

    Add actinics or run 20's. 14's aren't enough blue by themselves usually unless you get one of the bluer bulbs. Growth is in the water quality, not the lights. Get your water quality straight, then go deciding on lights.

    ----requim-----

    Sean, I saw a while back you were in the market for a Sohal. I've been looking for a home for mine for a while, and would certainly like to see him in a tank as large as yours. I'll warn you now, he's very territorial which I'm sure you know already . Anywho, he's about 7'' tip to tip, maybe...

    UGLY as all - plumbing help needed

    You slow the water coming out of the powerhead. The energy used to turn the hydor is the energy from the flowing water. This cuts flow. Very simple.

    do i need a hob?

    you can find skimmers, like a prizm. I'd still run the filter pad though and change it every 2 weeks at the latest.
