The tank is 72" long and 27" deep. The only thing I'm looking for is the asthetics of the MH lighting, there will be enough light from the T5s to sustain the softies. I just want to make sure 150HQIs will put out enough light to hit the bottom with the shimmer lines. Thanks!

I have a 150 reef already with 2 x 250s on it, but right next to it is going a 150 FOWLR and some softies.. mushrooms, zoas. I am probably going to go with T5s on this tank - 4 x 80w 60" - but I want some shimmer without putting 250 MHs over it. Don't want the heat, don't want the bill, but I...

Hi! I need quality, original pics of Harlequin Tusks for a paper I am writing. Please email or PM me for details. [email protected] Thanks! Scott

Hi!

I think I'm going to shift away from my choice of bulb. I've been using the Aqualine 10k 250w bulbs in conjunction with 2 140w VHO actinics, and the MH color is just a little too yellow for me. I'd like some ideas on a new bulb, and I'm sure there are no shortages of opinions. I'm thinking...

Hi! As of right now I have a Won Bros 1000w heater hooked up to an Aquadyne controller. I realize that I have too many eggs in one basket with 1 heater, so I started looking for a 2nd. Only thing is, now I've read of some really bad experiences with Won heaters (I'm running on 4 years with...

Thank you! The tank is an AGA 150g with dual overflows. There is about 170g of water in the sump.

My tank had a bit of misfortune over the summer. While moving into my new house, I had my friend keep my tank and all it's inhabitants at his LFS for a few months. Not soon before taking re-delivery of my stsyem, there was a smoldering electrical fire at his shop and I lost almost everything...

Need to know if there's going to be a battle in the system if I add a Blue Jaw trigger and either a sargassum or crosshatch trigger. 150 gallon tank. I do not have any triggers in the tank as of right now.

I deal with a few wholesales in Cali and I can't find any Achilles tangs in stock for quite a few weeks now. I have a client that want's a ML to SH quality fish. I'd be happy finding him a ML to L fish. Any idea as to why there have been none available? Any leads? Thanks! Scott

I need some step by step plans for a large DIY skimmer to handle my 300g system. I'm interested in any method outside of anything with the word "airstone" involved. :lol: It can be in or out of the sump. The larger the skimmer the better. I will be plumbing it in line with my return pump...

yeah, the dust this $550 piece of equipment is collecting in the garage :lol:

I have a 150g tank with 300g in the sump. I was thinking about the dolphin 2700, it's a low pressure pump with 1.5" hook-ups. I've never used a dolphin pump before, is it decent? My main pump for the tank is an RK2 that I've had zero issues with, but I don't want to spend $500 on a UV only pump.

I have a 120 watt UV sterilizer I want to hook up, the input and outlet on it is 2". I have a few pumps in mind, but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas. This is the only item the pump will have to supply, the intake and outlet will both be connected to the 300 g sump. UV is rated for...
