    Moving on up...

    ...to the deluxe 75 in the sky. So we're looking heavily at upgrading our nano to a 75, but I need some help with the planning since a makeshift 55 is the largest I've done. For rock I'm looking at 50 pounds of Key Largo Marco's Rock with the rock from my nano to seed. Fish: I was thinking a...

    Do you swap out your reflectors?

    If you are going from parabolic to individual reflectors on T5s, then it is well worth it. Going individual to individual sees diminished returns imo without some damage to the origionals.

    Stagnant water

    Jon, What brand of powerhead did you use? A low wattage one shouldn't raise your temperature and help with your problem. Also Mag pumps are notorious for doubling as a water heater. Can you describe or give us a picture of your sump setup?

    Xm 10k bulbs Yea or Nay?

    I like the 150W XM 10K. They put out a great amount of PAR and are a nice white. For the T5s, I would strongly consider having one KZ Fiji Purple in there. It brings out reds and purples in your corals.

    My first RO/DI Unit

    I have it and it's a great unit. It survived 2 moves and being in storage for over a year to come right up and start working after a fast flush.

    What nano cube system do you guys prefer

    Remora hob skimmers (the non nano btw) are still a popular skimmer. If you can run a sump though, then that would be ideal.

    Modding a nova extreme T5

    I'm pretty sure it would work. One word of caution though is that you would be overdriving the 24" bulbs and would need to plan accordingly.
