yea i was gonna order them both online, and i'm still shopping around. i like the marshall island rock, and i think that the rock from TBS looks good too. i'd like to get enough rock on the first order, but i've never done this before, how much would you think would definately be enough for my...

yea i think i'm gonna go with the 250's, i certainly don't want to have to upgrade in the future because that can be costly. i wish i had somebody locally who was experienced and could show me how to best arrange my live rock when i get it.

well would there be a better lighting setup that would enable me to keep all the different types of stuff? if i went with 2-175 watt HQI MH and 2-110 watt VHO's would that still be enough light for the ones that need high amounts of light?

i don't have that book, so i just ordered it on amazon and will get it by christmas. what types of corals would that be too much light for? how much light would you recommend in my 75 gal tank so that i can get anything that i want? thanks

should i add the live sand first or the live rock, or should i put them both in at the same time?

i was gonna have a fan blowing over the sump and the house stays at a pretty constant 68-72 degrees. plus the fans for the lights. do i need more to keep it cool?

i have a 75 gal tank that i was gonna order a light setup for real soon. my question is if i have 2-250 watt HQI MH and 2-110 watt VHO's would that be too much light? i plan on having them 10-12 inches above the water surface. this works out to about 10watts/gal, is that too much? i plan on...

where did you get the lifeline overflow? anybody have anything good or bad to say about it?

what should i use to bring water from the tank to the refugium if i go with a 20 gal ref?

thanks for the input. the reason i want to go with the reactor is once i get my tank up and going i want as little unneeded maintenance as possible. i figure i'll have my hands full doing the other stuff necessary to keep the tank going that i'd rather not deal with the drip. now i'm just...

ok, i'm definately gonna get a ca reactor, now i've read that they can reduce the ph in the tank, has anyone had any problems with this? how did you solve it? or wasn't it much of a problem at all? also what kind of media would you guys recommend? thanks

do i need anything else? controllers, kalk reactor? i was probably going to go with either the precision marine CR422, or the GEO reactor. any things i need to know before i make the purchase?

thanks, i think that i'm gonna get one, but it's gonna set me back a couple bucks. what brands would you recommend for me? any to stay away from? thanks.

hi, i have a new 75 gal tank and i plan on putting all sorts of different types of coral and anything else. my question is do i need a calcium reactor? would it save me that much time? also how about kalk, what is the best way to go about doing this?

i just got a 75 gal with a predrilled bottom and i was told that the mag 7 was right for this situation, was i sold the wrong pump for my job?
