I looked at the AB fixtures but don't want the weight in the canopy. I am going with three 250 HQI's either all 10K or two 10K with 20K in the middle. That is if the 20K DE bulbs ever make it to the U.S. I have not ordered the tank yet so I don't have a final cost on it but I am figuring it...

Thanks

The tank will be starphire glass with perimeter bracing and two top braces 24" from each side so no center brace. The heat I was refering to was to the surrounding room and tank from 400W MH bulbs.

I forgot to include that info. I am getting away from the dsb in the main tank so the sand bed will only be as deep as the trim that interamerican uses on a tank of this size.

Hello all, I have decided to upgrade to a larger tank during my upcoming move and would like opinions regarding tank depth. I am going to have the tank custom made by inter-american and have read that the price is the same whether you go with 22", 24" or 27" starphire. I know that I want...

thanks for the reply. It is an oceanic knock off looks exactly the same only without the center brace. I think it is a ocean's view. I dont have any problems with the tank bowing. Do you think that 2 x 250 would add alot of heat to the tank and room?

Hello, I am going to upgrade my current lighting (4x110 VHO, 2x48 NO) to MH in the next couple of months and would like some comments suggestions,etc.. on my initial thoughts. The tank is a normal sized 75gal without a center brace. I am thinking of adding 1 x 250 watt 10K in the center of...

My potters eats a 1" X 3" sheet of Tenera Red every day. This is what he started on after about three days in the tank. Now he eats everything except frozen plankton and anything with gel binder. Favorites are the tenera red and blue, and marine cuisine. I think that they are more of a...

Patti, I currently use the Tidepool 2 and if I knew then what I do now I would not have bought it. After a nine month battle with green hair algae I removed the biowheel from the Tidepool. While all the hair shortley disappeared, so did all the inhabitants of the tank Now the Tidepool...

Patti, I don't think anyone has answered your original questions so here goes. A sump is nothing more than a container which will allow you to add additional water volume to your system. The benefit of this will be increased tank stability because of the added water and high turnover rate. A...
