MidnightWolf February 27, 2008 February 27, 2008 This is my second tank. I've been enjoying my 20gl for a little over a year now and am excited about getting this new one running. Everything is plumbed and I am finally ready to fill her up. The tank is an 80gl bowfront I picked up from Fishwife. It has a built in overflow and I am using both the 1" and 3/4" for draining to the sump. The sump has a I have a 22gl sump with an RS100 Euroreef skimmer and a Eheim 1262 for the return. The return comes over the back into outlets at the top and middle of the tank. I also have an Iwaki external pump running a closed loop through a lower manifold. I have a 48"pc light sitting on top. 1) I am in need of LR, preferably large pieces. Anyone know of good places to pick up reasonably priced LR or anyone that is looking to get rid of some? 2) Lighting - I am looking into obtaining either T5s or halides and have not determined which would be the best approach. I understand T5s run cooler and longer. Any suggestions or personal experiences that would assist me in making a decision would be greatly appreciated.
smarsh97 February 27, 2008 February 27, 2008 Where are you located? My friend in WV has a 75 gal tank full of liverock that she is going to sell. I think somewhere around 150 lbs, maybe a little more. I think she wants 2 bucks a lb but I can find out for you if you are interested. I think it's been in the tank for over 2 years now. She lives in Martinsburg, WV. Sandy
jason the filter freak February 27, 2008 February 27, 2008 (edited) you should considering adding your location to your profile... I'm assuming you're in monkey county somewhere. Congrats on the awesome tank! Can't wait to see some pics of it up and running. Oh, and WELCOME TO WAMAS! Edited February 27, 2008 by jason the filter freak
hbh March 22, 2008 March 22, 2008 (edited) HIs location is Gaithersburg ( I believe). I vote T-5s as they run cool which is great for being around an active family! They give great light at a reasonable cost all around & can grow most corals and lots of algae to vex you. Edited March 22, 2008 by hbh
