Thanks guys, appreciate the input! Hate to blow up a 600 dollar lighting unit. ;)

Hey all, this may be a stupid question, but I was wondering when it's time to replace my MH bulbs, my unit holds currently the 150watt 10,000k double ended HQI bulb. Would it be okay to replace them with two 14,000k 150watt bulbs (bluer color tem) or 20,000k 150 watt bulbs (have no idea color...

My 2 Cents on the LFS prices sometimes being higher. I understand why they are higher, it's retail yes? They have to cover costs to run their operation, (all their Payables) and still be able to put some money in their pocket's to make an honest living. They don't have a vast array of shoppers...

Gocha, I think most of these guys are having issues with the display tank, so hopefully traps will help. I don't have a quarentene tank set up as of yet, but looks like that may be a must in the near future. Do you recommend quarentene of live rock and corals also?

So far in my new reef tank I haven't experienced ich, but I keep reading everyone saying, just quarentine your fish, freshwater dip, etc. Well, unless you are a fantastic fish catcher, more than likely you have to remove all or most of you live rock, corals, etc. This seems like a big...

Yeah, I was surprised we haven't heard back from him since. Maybe he just is really busy. Something is killing them so hopefully he got some advice on it and is taking proper steps. This hobby is expensive enough as it is.

Well, I would post some of mine, but I just added my live rock, so basically I'd show you some pics of cured rock that doesn't have much going on minus the small fish I got in there. Once I get my light (UPS Tomorrow) I'll be throwing up 560 watts in my tank. Maybe I'll keep all my pics from my...

I think Greenights may be on to something. I had almost the same exact thing happen to me about 3 months ago. For some reason fish started dying in my tank 1 by 1, water changes, Battery of testing all came up good. come to realize my tank wasn't producing enough oxygen. Went and got a pump and...

Okay... Right, thats what I was thinking also. I do plan on building an elevated reef about 1/3 up the tank with caverns below. I don't know but I could live without the clams. Realizing that I'll have over 100lbs of rock in my tank I can't imagine I'll have more than 80 gallons in the tank. At...

Really? Okay would the Outer Orbit 1042 with the following specs be adequate... 1042 48" 2 x 150 watt(Hilade) and 2 x 130 watt(Dual Actinic 420nm/ 460nm), 6 White Moon lamps, 560 Watts

Hey. Thanks for the reply. Looking on Current USA's web site they say the 150 watt in the sunpod are quite bright and actually run closer to most 250 watt lights out there. So, I guess I'll go with that. I just wanted to make sure that having the full spectrum of lighting would be better than...

Anyone?

Okay everyone. I am not knew to salt water aquariums but I'm starting a reef tank up in a 90 gallon tank 24" deep. The problem I have is I have done a lot of research on lighting the tank, and I get conflicting advice from so many different people who should 'KNOW' what would be enought lighting...
