My local Home Depot has all Phillip's MH bulbs (175w - 400w ) reduced for clearance $20.00 each. Anyone have an idea what K do these light at ?

Thanks guys. The price was tempting. I think I will pass but the HD is in Moorestown NJ if anyone is interested.

When I tried two pumps with 1000 GPH ( after head Loss Calculation ) returns from the sump on my 125 AGA tank the tank would overflow after a couple of minutes. A safe bet would less than 1000 GPH per overflow.

Converted mine to a refugium with Mangroves

One Mangrove seedling dropped my Nitrates from 50 ppm to 5-10 ppm within two days in my 90 gallon tank. I understand they need magnesium for the desalinazation that the root system does. [ July 27, 2001: Message edited by: twarren ]

P.S. They were $4 each plus approx $6 shipping

Try http://www.floridaplants.com/ I just received 8 Red Mangroves from them

I am trying one seedling 6-8 leaves in my sump / refugium with N.O. grow lights. I watched my Nitrates drop 50 ppm to 5 ppm in a couple of days. I was reading somewhere that they require traces of magnesium to survive. If this continues I my have to get a wet/dry filter Just kidding
