    SS TEK 4x54w Owners Input/Advice

    With a 55g tank, a 4-bulb Tek should be fine. Consider the new Tek Elite, though, if you can. It has better reflectors and active cooling, both of...

    2 tangs in a 55

    I hate to be the "tang police", but your tank is undersized for your sailfin tang alone, nevermind 2 tangs. I would definitely not recommend another...

    Will these lights and tank work?

    Here's the thing - you are running a fairly small system with a 70g tank. I guess my point was that if you had a 75g tank that was 4' in length...

    Will these lights and tank work?

    A few suggestions: 1) To me, the 70g tank does not make a lot of sense. It is very deep, and the deeper the tank, the more difficult (ie....

    How to feed a fungia?

    I do it during the night when my fish are mostly unaware - that saves me from having to up-end a glass over it. I use a large syringe with frozen...

    Urgent Wrasse vs. Goby?

    I agree with the turning off the lights for a while option. Re-arranging some of the rocks may help, or may not. Just be careful, since in a fight...

    Friend selling me an aquarium for $450 with all this, what you think?

    Not necessarily true, although it depends on what you are using them for. The sump provides the following additional advantages: 1) Increased water...

    Can I Have SPS with 4 bulb T5?

    Impossible to answer, since a lot depends on your tank. Bottom line is that it is not ideal unless you either upgrade the lighting or move the SPS...

    Friend selling me an aquarium for $450 with all this, what you think?

    Good deal. But if you are thinking of a reef tank, or if you want more than just a few fish, you will eventually want to upgrade your skimmer and...

    Can I Have SPS with 4 bulb T5?

    They may grow, but they will likely lose color. 22" from a 4-bulb T5 fixture is not ideal for SPS. If you could raise them up so that they are much...

    Melanurus Wrasse

    I've got one in my 90g. They get to be 5-7", depending on who you ask. It might be a bit tight in your 30g once they reach adulthood. At the least...

    Vodka Dosing

    I would not waste any money on a "more accurate" test. The reason for this is that no test will give you accurate readings when your NO3 and PO4 are...

    Which SPS do good under T5 Lighting?

    I have to clarify a point that hasn't been mentioned yet. It all depends on your light fixture. Not every 4-bulb T5 HO is the same - the light...

    Need lighting advice

    Not sure how you know that, since I don't see the make of the PC unit. Assuming it is a 2-bulb PC unit, it would put out significantly less light...

    dA SL1 or SL2?

    I apologize if I say something that has already been said here (I haven't read all the posts), but if you have the RKL my understanding is that SL2...

    The New Koralia Evo 1400 Unboxed

    In a word, no. It is not essential to have waves in a tank, although corals and even fish do appreciate random flow, or some variability in flow...

    The New Koralia Evo 1400 Unboxed

    Thanks for the write-up. I recently got a RKL, but it wouldn't run with my original K4s. So I bought 2 modded MJ's and hate them, since the flow is...

    Copepod invasion.

    With the 4x54W T5 in a 70g tank, you have moderate lighting, but not great. You could probably have acros, but only toward the top of the tank....

    Blue background or black?

    +1 on this. I had a black background for a long time, got tired of it, and flipped the paper backing around. Now I'm loving the blue. But I may...

    Do I need a filter?

    No, you don't need the bio-wheel. In fact, as bacteria populate it, it will become a "nitrate factory" which means that it uses up ammonia and...
