  1. What does everyone consider idea for Phosphates, Magnesium and Alkalinity?
  2. My setup take roughly an hour, plus I can do Dual Layer which means if your DVD is more than 4gb in size I can put in on one disc without compressing the data. Compression degrates the screen resolution.
  3. Thanks everyone!!! I think I'm hooked. I really appreciate the input......
  4. That's definitely worth looking into. I just have to separate them a bit differently because this tank is only 4', which makes it a little bit more interesting.
  5. Wow...that's what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Wow...I'm hooked. It's starting to sound like the T5s have my name all over them. Also, very quick product findings showed 48" 8 tube at 54W per. Seems awfully low to me on the wattage end. What are you guys running? Also, if I went 8 tubes would you use 4 10K, 4 actinic or 6 10K 2 actinic? Thanks so much guys, so helpful........ Scott
  7. I'd like to be flexible enough to keep everything, but I really want to run the gammit of montis, millis and acro, frogspawn, few clams and of course the normal run of softies on the bottom.
  8. Thanks... Do you think with a tank that deep, 2 feet, VHO or T5s would get enough light to the bottom. I'm sure all of the SPS would have to be on the top 1/3-1/4 anyway, but I would love to go that route if I could.
  9. Hi all. I'm working on the specs for my new 125g and want to have enough light to do everything, which of course means MH. My problem is I have cathedral ceilings so there is no chance of hanging. If I have a canopy does that mean I must have a chiller?
  10. Hey all.... I'm thinking about upgrading my Coralife PC hood to a MH/PC combo hood. The problem is it is on a 30g tank that is only 30" wide. The pc hood I have is 30". Do you think I could use a 24" MH/PC combo hood on this tank? I would be hitting roughly 9 watts per gallon with the one I'm looking at. Also, if I did that, should I go 10K 15K or 20K? Thanks, Scott
  11. Nice pics......what size tank and how much/type of lighting do you have?
  12. I could use 2 of them, either one. Any laying around that someone wants to get rid of? Any place around here I can find them?
  13. Welcome to the saltwater club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Depends on the tank, but watch conditions of your water. Test often and when they have all stabilized you should be ready to go.
  14. Thanks guys.......still undecided... :D
  15. Does anyone have any Stylo or Cat's Paw in their tanks? If so, what lighting and flow are you sitting them in. I'm thinking about getting some for my tank and have read all of the stuff to read, but am curious in real world examples. Is any hardier than others? Thanks, Scott
  16. Is there any true test for the weight of a system on the 2nd floor....I have a 55g on a 4ft outside wall and am planning on putting the repaired 125g I got from BRK on that same wall.....whatcha think....the house is only 8 years old. I hadn't had a chance to work on the tank yet, so I haven't gotten to this question yet. I figured since someone else brought it up, then maybe I better. Thanks...
  17. 30G...55 is FOWLR Getting ready to start working on the 125g I got from Blue Ribbon...been busy making candles.... Anyone need a Christmas gift?
  18. So I guess I should lay my digi frag on it's side too then? :D What about a Bali Slimer?
  19. PCs...Coralife....I have the moonlights on 24hrs, the Acintics come on at 8am, the 10K come on at 9am.....then the reverse takes place at 9pm and 10pm. They work out week. I think I'm hitting around 4.5 watts per gallon....
  20. You think this looks big....Just wait until I get the 125g I received from Blue Ribbon Koi fixed and then my 55 will be upgraded to that.... :D
  21. ] Thanks...I've had a lot of people tell me that it looks larger.... I like the airstone okay. I've had some people tell me that I don't need it, but I just am not sure.
  22. Thanks all....the full tank shot was quick and I didn't totally have the lighting set right. The tank is actually much brighter than what it looks there.. It's 30gals......I've got the following 2 false perc 1 Flame Angel 1 Cleaner Shrimp Colt Toadstool Green Colt Flowerpot Baby blue Rics Bali Slimer Digi Galaxea Green star polyps Yellow Polyps Blue, Fire & Ice Zoos Other assorted zoos Bluish-purple, maroon with green center, green striped, fuzzy, hairy mushrooms I think that's it..... I also have a 10g frag tank setup.....
