A single MP10 is above your budget, unless you get it used. I had a single MP10 on a 50 gallon tank and it wasn't enough. Tunze is also probably out...
Thanks for the advice. I'm not really worried about the 2nd tank right now. I won't be adding it for about a year. Like I said in my first post,...
Bump... interested in hearing some opinions on live rock vs. dry rock for a large sea horse tank.

Slowly coming along... the plumbing is nearly finished. I still need to plumb my return pump (Waveline DC5000) and build something to support the...
Well sitting in the Vancouver airport waiting for my flight home for the holidays to finally depart, so why not update!? It is already 2 hours...

I don't think most plastics leach silicate. Do they even contain Si? I can't find the type of plastic most rain barrels are made of. I think the most...
I know this may not be much help, but sometimes even when the phosphate test comes back as "0", phosphates still may be causing the algae growth....
Following along too! AI lights alway seem to control light spill.. I'm assuming this is due to the use of lenses?
For those interested, the reasoning behind using only red and blue light is well described in the review article below- Carvallo et al. 2011....
He said it all! Green isn't really needed.
Thanks! Next step is to get the stand skinned.
It is finally here! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
