    2x250 watt Halides will be perfect for a 75g. You'll be able to keep everything and anything. And if you decide to upgrade, you can still use those...

    Eshopps PF300 vs PF800

    I switched pumps from the VA-3300 to a Rio+ 1700. Works very well now - my sump isn't being drained!

    Oh, that's not good! Sorry to hear about your fish. No, I don't run a foam thing. I dug up some custom down pipe that's adjustable so it makes less...

    Oh, ok, larger U-Tube. It didn't say anywhere. I think the bulkheads are the same size - I didn't see that as being a choke point in the overflow. I...

    Halide Replacement! What is everyone's favorite??

    Yes, 175 is good for a 55g reef. You just have to be more careful about coral placement & bulb height from water. I thought about doing an LED strip...

    Halide Replacement! What is everyone's favorite??

    Perfect! I wasn't sure if the actinics looked brighter, or something I wasn't aware of. Blue+ it is!

    t5 lighting options...

    Yes, it could work. 6 bulb would be better. If you do 4 bulb, I'd stay away from Actinic and use a Blue+ bulbs. Much more PAR, close color.

    PC 4x64w 50/50 lights

    +1 to 2in10 - You could run 2x150 halides, but you get much more color options, less heat issues, lower power, potentially better colors with T5HO. I...

    Upgrading lighting

    2x250 watt halides will keep anything alive in a 55. I use 2x250 on my 90. I would get 250's if you plan on upgrading your tank. If not, I'd say...
