    Off the Shelf LED Light Fixure Build

    Less expensive than a used 72" Giesemann Infiniti Light Fixture with 3x250W HQI for the equivalent of 400MH (when at full power). My full cost was about $2300. That was for 1 master and 2 slave units with 120-1w led's in each unit. I'm not sure if that intro pricing is still available but I can...

    Hitler finds out he has AEFW

    Probably the 5th time I've seen that clip with different subtitles. Always funny, especially this one. Thanks.

    Garlic Laced Nori

    Garlic is an antioxidant (health buzzword of the last 5 years). There is still only anecdotal evidence that it helps in marine aquariums. Human studies show some small effects. However, it's quite hard to find garlic in the ocean, so it's not readily available to fish in their diet. My fish...

    150 watt DE PAR ratings?

    Sounds like a personal question :D Lighting is somewhat subjective. There really is no place to go to see a side by side comparison. MH may raise the temp of the tank a bit, but a fan takes care of that. T4 in a 4 bulb configuration may not allow for as wide a choice of corals. A six bulb...

    Membership Card?

    Hmmm, I never got one either. Though there was some confusion when I sent my money in.

    Seriously, wash your hands after playing in the tank!!

    Most of farm sites sell the full length disposable gloves (meant for cows). Do not use gloves with powder! At the least buy a box uf unpowdered latex or vinyl gloves. They're about $7 - $8 at the local pharmacy (WalMart, Walgreens, CVS, etc.). I don't use the full arm ones sold for tanks...

    F/S 72" Aqualight Pro 3x150 MH fixture

    So is my price too high to even solicit an offer or is it that no one needs a 72: fixture? If it's the price, what would be a fair price for the fixture with all brand new (in the box) bulbs?

    Coral placement and light cycle

    Your tank is deeper than my 125, but with the same fixture and 10k MH my clam has grown quite nicely sitting on the sand bed. I used a "standard" lighting schedule of 12 hours for the PC, 10 hours for MH (1 hour dawn/1 hour dusk). I recently switched to LED's. I'm selling my MH fixture now so...

    Curing Plastic Containers

    If this concerns you buy Rubbermaid BRUTE containers as they are all Food Grade. That's not true for all plastics.

    Heaters

    I got the ETC 2 stage controller. You can get it pre-wired or save a few bucks and wire it yourself. Pretty easy to do. For those that only want 1 heater (or two with the same set points) you can use the 1100 series. I originally got the 2 stage to control 2 heaters on 1 control and the fan on...
