    Dendro won't come out and play

    He still only comes out every now and again, but more than he was. I was able to feed him a small chunk of table shrimp a few times over the...

    Suggestions for a T5 Fixture

    I believe the tank is 24" in width. I think 6-8 is necessary to cover that, correct?

    How long have you had your reef?

    I would like to see, on average, how long people have kept their current setup. I've had mine setup for 20 months. I've been a reefer for 3.5 years....

    175 watt Hamilton or LED

    Since I am trying to exhaust all of my options, what do you all think of a combo fixture like Aqua Medic's 2 t-5 buld and 2 150 watt halides? Would I...

    sump under a 55 gallon..... 5 gallon sump?

    That's what I figured. I'm actually doing the same (with lighting and and powerheads).

    Cheryl's JBJ.

    I am thinking about adding a couple t-5 tubes to my canopy to support my Bridgelux LED units, myself. I just don't like the growth.

    sump under a 55 gallon..... 5 gallon sump?

    Out of curiosity, why will it be 6-8 months before the new system is setup? Is there a possibility of doing it now (since you're wanting to buy...

    175 watt Hamilton or LED

    Thanks. I guess I will invest in another LED unit then. Maybe throw some optics on it too? Do you think adding a couple ATI T-5s (icecap ends) as a...

    MH fixture for a 48x24x16

    In my limited research, I would think two 175 watt Hamilton units should work. It's a pretty shallow tank, so 2 250 watt units may not be necessary....

    what gph wave maker should i get

    That's way too little flow. I have 100 GPH more than that in my 20 gallon. For LPS, I would look for around 1600-2000 gph of flow. A 750 and a 1050...

    175 watt Hamilton or LED

    Oh, really? That's too bad. I could have owned both a Hamilton 175 and a Hamilton 250 for about $75 in total. I currently have 55 bridgelux LEDs over...

    red Sea (questions)

    Ideally, you would want to be between 350-450 for Calc, 1300-1400 for mag and 8-12 for alk, but you're not in terrible shape, especially if you don't...

    175 watt Hamilton or LED

    Interesting. Seems like more frequent water changes would create a less stable system. I've always read nutrients (phosphate/nitrate) are a big no...

    red Sea (questions)

    Probably not. The mag is 3x the calc, which is good. The alk isn't too high.

    Are we all under agreement that the LED unit is as good as, if not better than, the 175 watt Hamilton halide unit? If so, then maybe we can figure...
