Hi everyone, our FPL bill runs about 250 dollars in the summer in S.Fl. (2tanks) 200gal and 70 gals.

I use the IceCap 4" variable speed fans, so far they are the quietest fans I've used so far. I also like the way the fans speed varies according to the hood temp. They are a little expensive but IMO are worth it, besides what isn't expensive in this hobby?

Your going to let the sticks float to the bottom? hows that possible? Lite saber carrying fish

Hi Hurrifan, I need more information to help. What type of water do you use for make up water, RO/DI,tap water, how often do you do water changes, do you use hermit crabs or astrea snails to help with the algae control? If you have a boat or dive you can collect them localy, this is a lot of...

Squeezix, we usally dive on the reefs between Key Biscayne and ELLIOT key, but diving on the 2nd reef off Pompano should be fine. Have fun, clear water be with you.

Hi Marcosreef, nice tank, here are 2 sites that might help you out.(www.wetwebmedia.com/bluegralgae.htm, www.netpet.com/fish/referen...obacteria2.htm) Good luck.

Squeezix what are CSL 37's Try it and see how it works, you can always upraded your system latter if it doesn't work. LOL

Hello Squeezix, I've used both a DSB and aplenum system. The plemun system is a little harder to set up than just adding live sand to the bottom of the tank, but if you set up the plenum correctly IMO its a much better system. For information from an expert on plenums contact Dr.Bob Goemans at...

Hi Sqeezix, I also live in S. Fla. IMO if you used 2 175MH. you would have a heat problem but the tanks lighting would be balanced. You could go with 1 175MH. and mabye 2 VHO's to help even out the light on the sides of the tank where the MH. didn't reach and the tank wouldn't be as hot. Good...
