I would go with new sand and keep the old filter material since you plan on scrubbing the rock. Sorry to hear about your troubles. What size tank...
I run my dawn/dusk bulbs for 10 hours until shortly be fore I go to bed. I run the white lights from one hour after the DD come on until one hour...
+1 to this.
I use a whisk to get my salt dissolved then run a pump overnight to make sure it is dissolved and aerated to get any gasses from the salt dissolving...
The ballast should have a diagram on it. If not CA will be happy to help you out from what I have read.
Nice looking scape. Not much difference between the Fiji Purple and Purple Plus except maybe price.
Full length to cut down on noise, a thinner sheet of water going over the edge to make surface skimming better.
I read that the Odyssea ballasts don't run the bulbs at their full potential and the reflector system is very poor since it is flat. I would advise...
You will need to replace the ballasts most likely. Make sure all wiring is properly connected to the ballasts and the ends first.
Given the bulb's age I would say that most likely it is the ballast. If you have another bulb I would check it just to confirm.
I would leave them off until tomorrow.
Thanks, good plan on the corals.
Awesome Cheryl, congrats
Awesome thanks for sharing.
4x54W bulbs will be all you need on a 75. I agree with m2434's post.

An 8 bulb T5HO will be fine for the 125. Lighting and skimmer you do not want to skimp on. If you want SPS coral then you will need a skimmer....
Yup a chiton, great algae eater including coralline.
Get 2 of each and alternate them in the fixture.
+1 to this, always try to mix the bulbs to get the most even spectrum distribution.
