    What is your light schedule like?

    Ok, thanks. My problem is there are so many different "authoritative" guides on the internet for everything that I tend to worry too much about little things. I guess I will know based on how the corals color up and grow anyhow.

    What is your light schedule like?

    I am not at the point of running my lights yet, but I am curious to see how what the popular lighting schedules are. I have 2 130 watt actinics and 2 150 watt double ended Halogens. I plan on keeping sps and I might upgrade to 250s. What type of schedule do you guys use?

    If you can't find them, we sell spears sch80 threaded ones at my work. They are a lot more money though than what you find at the fish stores.

    algae bloom excitement

    I just read the title of this thread and had to laugh as I am also excited as my tank is starting to cycle. I thought I was the only one who gets excited by things like this.

    Gravity Auto Top Off

    I am trying to find a way to design a gravity auto top off without using a float switch. Is there any way to do it without using an air tight container?
