Cool to see some of you are very local - I live in Falls Church and am a new member to WAMAS. I'm impressed with all the stuff you guys know and if you were ever willing to stop by sometime to look at my setup and give me some ideas it woud be awesome. Thanks.

Thanks. How do I get in touch with Inemup?

boy do I have alot of upgrading to do. 72 gallon fish tank with alot of live rock and wanting to grow into some easy corals. I have been using tap water purifier for water changes but have wondered about R/o units. Saw killrblue's post re. the 6 stage R/o unit on ebay. Is that a good one to get? Price seemed right. Is it hard to install? Any other ideas? Thanks

SDE 219, Saw your response to Blake. How do I change from BB member to WAMAS member - I joined at the meeting at kilmer School. Yesterday was my first time on the site. Thanks for your comments yesterday re. lighting. Dano

thanks for your comments. I currently have a wooden cannopy which I had built for my 65 gallon and I just took the front piece off. So, I could conceivabley use a retrofit, though I don't think it will save very much. I am reluctant to use the metal halides because my tank is already running on the hot end and I think I would t hen need a chiller. I dojn't know much at all re. corals so I am fine at this point just going with the hardiest. My current tank inhabitants are a yellow tang, a gobie (forgot the name - long, thin, blue with orange - 3"), domino damsel, fiji damsel, 3 peculas, French Angel (does this rule out all corals?), and a small gobie or wrasse (1 1/2") - never have been able to identify it), and two urchins. Are there particular corals which would work/not work with these inhabitants? Where does one look for used lighting supplies? In the past I have just upgraded by buying whole but incomplete systems leaving me with a whole lot of extra stuff i don't need thought still more affordable that buying new.

I curently have 2 x 55 watt PC, and 2 x 40 Watt Fluorescent on 72 gallon (20 inch depth) fish and live rock tank with an ecosystem sump. I would like to move to some hardy corals, maybe anemones, and begin the reef. Is this enough lighting? When I called That Fish Place he suggested a Coralife Lunar Aqualight Plus (4 x96 watt PC and 3 3/4 watt moonlight LED) for $450 which I would rather not spend unless I need to. If more light is needed is this a good way to go? Any experience with this fixture? Thanks.
