There are a lot of good things that come on/ live rock too. Using all dry rock will only prolong your cycle. I would definitely use a majority of dry...
How is its effectiveness at removing precursors to nitrate relative to water changes or just in general?
20. This will eventually become a fuge (hopefully within the next 6 months) for a 55 gallon. You think I would need 2 of these units to house SPS?...
I'm guessing double arch looks like the MacDonald's sign with two bulbs under each. I'm fairly confident it's t5 HO.

I also want to ask this: What light bulbs should I use for proper coral growth? I've read that a balance is preferred. The 4-bulb unit comes with 2...
Thanks, will do. It might be 3-4 weeks.
There isn't anything in there right now besides a CUC. My nitrates are at about 15 ppm. I'm not adding anything until they lower further. I set up my...
I'm pretty excited to make this purchase. I've been running a 2 bulb, 28 watt, 10,000 K and actinic bulb unit for months (and for a year on my first...
