Not a bad idea either. The only downside is no dimming. I do like how one unit does a good job lighting a 4' long tank!
Here is an idea for budget friendly starter lighting: Aqua Pro 60W 20X3W CREE LED Aquarium Reef Tank Light White Blue Aluminum USA | eBay I use...
Actually, the overflow box is not the issue; the return piping is. The overflow box will determine the height of the water in the tank. Once power...
Congrats on the successful move! Tank looks great :) To answer your question, complete darkness is fine for the night. I have moonlights shut off one...
Should be! As mentioned, I use Eshopps on 3 of my tanks, and love them all. Once you get them adjusted (takes a week or two), you should never need...
Best thing to do is just take your time! Let the live rock cycle the tank for you. You should not need any additional chemicals or additives. Sounds...
As stated, basically if you have the money, go with Vortechs. If you are on a tight budget, get a few Koralias. I have (2) 750s and (2) 1050s in my...
A skimmer is not something you want to skimp out on; however you can always upgrade and sell the one you buy as your bio-load increases.
Yes :)
No, just the in-sumps are cheaper. Good point, and yes you can have the height higher, as long as you limit the water that can siphon from the main...
Well for reference I have a 4' long 60 watt fixture with 20 3W Cree LED's (10 daylights, and 10 actinics) on my 55. I have had some good growth...
Very good info, thanks! And thanks for adding the disclaimer :)
According to LA (which is not always 100% accurate), they get to 11" and need a minimum of 180 gallons! Chevron Tang
Believe it or not, a lot of soft corals actually prefer higher lighting. So I would not. Plus that would limit you on what you could put on the other...
This should work fine unless you get a very high bio-load: Amazon.com: Eshopps PSK-100H Hang-On Protein Skimmer - up to 100 gal: Pet Supplies They...
I would hang it in the middle. Otherwise it looks very unnatural with half the tank dark.
Yes, during the acclimation period.
Disagree 100% (my opinion of course). One of my hermits (that apparently came with my snail order, since I did not order any!) that has a plenty big...
Given this, you may want to edit your first post with this information. I am just afraid people will see this as the miracle dip, not rinse it good...
Exactly why I recommended testing a new batch of SW ;)
