Good point and thanks for the heads up on the heat. Is the closed loop just for circulation? Also, right now I'm planning on having a koralia 750 &...
Would it be overkill for an 80g shallow sps reef?
Does anyone use a Mag 1800 or similar pond pump for their return? I'm thinking about getting one off of craigslist for my new 80g reef, curious if...
Beautiful fish, how does the queen do in a 125g tank? I only ask because I would love to get one, in the process of upgrading tanks and if they do...
First off, a little emberassing screwing up the proper spelling (ick v ich!). I just used the kitchen hand press you are describing. I cut about two...
Just wanted to post to let everyone know I had a yellow tang show bad signs of ick starting about two weeks ago - 3 big white spots/growths on its...
Really appreciate all the feedback - will send photos when they arrive!
Does the purple make a big difference? I may try out a couple of combinations - also, do you all have any shots of your tanks with those lights?...
Thanks for the advice - the fixture is on the way and the lamps aren't too far behind, should be picking up the tank in 2 weeks and will start a...
Do people typically go all blue with t5s for dusk/dawn or have one white lamp in the mix?

I have no height limit as it will be hung from the ceiling (rimless tank). Looking at a bunch of the great Korean/Japanese SPS tank as well as...
Ok so I pulled the trigger on the TEK T5 unit - 8 lamps and 48" long - picked it up new for $280 including shipping so comparing that to the LEDs and...
Also, how programmable is this fixture? Can you describe the main features and how you found setting it up and getting it dialed in? Thanks
Is your tank going to be mainly SPS or more mixed?
My new tank will be 48 x 24 x 16, still undecided between MH and T5 combo or just T5 - I've seen some pretty amazing SPS tanks running just T5 and...
So if I were to go just T5s, 6 lamps wouldn't be enough for 24" wide? Also, would you go with a 48" fixture or could you do a 36"? I've never dealt...
I'm upgrading to a 48x24x16 for my sps frag tank and think I'm going to wait on going LED for a couple reasons, the main being the cost and the...
