I have a pair of tomatos and they love their zenia elongata patch. They're always nuzzled in amonf it's branches. Only problem is that it grows too fast and I have to trim it at-least once a month and they attach me now when I put my hand into the tank :lol:

There will be plenty of frag swappng, selling, give-aways too.

Ifyou're kinda handy, you can do a 150w HQI DIY for around $220. Go to my clubs page and look at the DIY section. http://www.wamas.org

if you mean you're ordering it from Richard Durso, take Dan's suggestion and then e-mail the dimensions to Richard. I had to shorten the T and the elbo on mine to fit in my 75s overflow.

Yes it makes a difference. Maybe very subtle but the true actinics make some corals colors show-up better and/or flouresce where the blue-tinted one merely add a little blue to the tank.

I've used the True Actinic PCs in the 55w and the 96w size from HelloLights and they look and work great. Not to be confused with the 7100k blue bulbs which are just blue-tinted bulbs. I've had them also.

It think it'e great for a 55 or a 75, maybe even 90. Got mine used in good shape so it was even a better deal :P

I have 5 PCs over my tank. Look at my web-page to see what I have. Next time I'll trade the 6700k for a 10000k or another 50/50. If you look at HelloLights web site, you'll see that their actinic bulbs peak at 420. Some are on sale too :wink: I sugest doing a little more research on those...

Just to buck the trend a little... I have 5 96watt PCs over a 75. This is about 6.4 watts per gallon. I have a green slimer ( Acropora yongei) frag and just added a Montipora digitata frag that both are showing growth, good polyp extension and good color. Previously had only softies. I do...

Progressive violin... very kewl 8)

Hey Marrowbone thanks for the kudos bt my name is spelled G-r-e-n-i-e-r. It's French, a common name in Canada where my Grandfather is from. Anyway, it's very simple and works fine if you have a long tank (30" or more) sumpfugium 8)

Hey Marrowbone; I'm not too worried about detritus collecting in what I'm calling the Sumpfugium. I'm hoping to create a large pod haven down there. If I see it's a problem in the future I'll make adjustments but there seems to be plenty of circulation. Yes, I wanted to minimize the amount of...

I already had the water entering the sump and then going through 2 45 degree bends and shooting across the sump. I cut a 45 degree andle at the end of the output (short on top and long on bottom) and lowered the water level so only 2/3s of the pipe in under water and it's fine now. Thanks to...

I'm setting-up a 75 oceanic with a corner overflow. I hooked-up my SEN 700 or maybe 750 and the amount of noise was outrageous. I built and installed a Durso standpipe and the flushing noise up-top is gone but the noise where the water enters the sump is still annoying. Sounds like a pot of...
