So will I see faster growth if i were to increse the my MH photoperiod?

Are ther benifits to running 10hrs?

I currently have 2x250watt Usihio 10k and 2x110watt VHO Uri Super actinics for lighting over my 120gl reef. I currently leave my VHO's on for 12hrs and my MH's on for 8hrs. Is this suitable? I have seen many people keeping thier MH's on for 10hrs. Is 8hrs good or should I up it to 10hrs?

Definatly go with RO/DI water. It will make a world of difference in your tank. Before RO/DI I was fighting algae daily.

So which light would you guys suggest? About the SeaClone Protein Skimmer, Many people I have talked too either love it or hate it. I guess its all about opinion and taste.

So is it necessary?

1.What is a SUMP? 2.WHat are the advantages of having one? 3.Should I be using it with my SeaClone Protein Skimmer(100)? It is in a 55gal tank. 4.If I need it how would I go about building a SUMP?

I was wondering if I could maintain a reef in a 55gal. I currently have a SeaClone Protein Skimmer(100gl), an Emperor 400 BIO-Wheel Filter and 2 15 watt 10,000k lights. I still need one of those wave makers.I know I will need more lights. What do you guys suggest? I am trying to keep my lighting...

I was wondering what would help my live rock? 1. Do any of you guys add supplements to your live rock? like Iodine or calcium? 2. Do I need special lighting for live rock? I currently have 2 10,000k 15 watt lights in my 55gl and 1 20 watt 50/50 light in my 30gl. 3. What will help my live rock...
