  1. Is this a good place for a tank??

    Where is the sump going to go? I would assume since this is a room divider that he will want the overflows on the side of the tank, and all the equipment in a sump, out of the way.

  2. Sailfin and Copper-banded Butterfly

    I have a Sailfin tang in my 90 that is actually too big for my tank, he was tiny less than a year ago. I actually feel bad for the little guy and hope to upgrade so he has more space.

  9. Please help with metal halide questions!

    Those are some cheap lights. Thanks for the tip. I will have to check it out. My girlfriend works for an electrical engineer, she is going to see if they can order anything through work that would fit the bill. If not, these might be the answer. Thanks again.
  10. Please help with metal halide questions!

The ballast runs two URI actinic white bulbs, and two URI super actinic bulbs. My tank is mostly leathers, zoos, shrooms and 2 frogspawn varients. I am not...
