i just set up my 55 and its allmost done cycling. i am going to get the T5 set up from reefgeek.com its 6 54 watt bulbs and come in a hood with 2 ballests. and comes with 6 6,500 k bulbs daylight bulbs. + the t5 bulbs last ~2 years. just my .02

i picked up a 6 stage ro/di for 90 $ total cost. the paper work says its 85 gpd. look on e-bay for one, there are deals to be had.

what do you consider breaking the bank ? i have a velocity t3 but it raised the water temp ~4 deg on my 55 + 30 gal sump. but my tank was running at 70 so i need all the heat i can get. i havent turned on the heaters yet as i just wanted to see the temp of the tank with the velocity pump because...

another problem. 1. if say you have a power outage and your over flow box keeps syphoning it will drain the box and break the syphon. when the power comes back on your pump will kick in and over flow your main tank. 2. or if it syphons to fast and pulls air in it will stop syphoning and your...

for your 75 i would say go with a velocity T4(1225 GPH @3ft head). its the quietest one out there but its said to add some heat to the water but its also said that placing a small computer fan blowing over the case of the pump solves this. for me this is not an issue as my tank is at 68 deg...

that price seem's a little high. for about 1200 i am setting up a 60 gal reef tank with 2 overflows and a 30 gal sump. i am looking at the same lighting system as you. but i have done allmost everything DIY i drilled my tank with a dremel drill and a diamond bit[cost me $5 for 2] and the tank...

i would go with drilling it also, i installed 2x one inch bulkheads in my 60 gal. i got a set of 2 dremal bits from orchard for about $5 and spent 45 + min on each hole. having the 2 one inch bulkheads makes life alot easyer than trying to build a syphon-overflow box and saved me alot of money...

i found the south down saind from a friend of mine , jasion boland, he has an amazing 180 gal and set me up wit hthe guy he got his southdown from.

i went over to a famly friends house the other day and he had a reef tank set up. i was truly amazed, its a 60 gal that has been going for 15 years. the anomonie was about 24 inches across, the biggest i have ever seen, his green brain was about 18 inches and pink lether was easly 15 inches...

i found a deal for a non leaking 150 gal glass tank 72l x 19h x 22 d would 100 $ sound about right ? i havent seen it yet i was just wondering if i should check it out , this guy needs to get rid of it soon. it would be my first tank also. (for saltwater)

i am in the planning stages for a 55 gal reef. i have some exp with fresh water, i had a pond with rainbow trout and a brook trout, it was successful they grew to over 14 inches and then were released. the pond has since been filled. i currently live at the beach [huntington beach, CA] and was...
