    removing a tang from a tank

    It's a Tomini and it does come out at feeding time but always stays along the bottom, it never comes close to the top, and it's way too fast. I'll keep trying. Harry

    48" 6x54W Tek Light T5 High-Output Fixture. Good enough for 90g SPS?

    More is not always better, just keep that in mind...Also be sure to buy the splash guard and legs because the Tek fixture doesn't come with them....unless you plan on hanging it then the legs arent needed. for the record i'm most likely going with the NOVA pro fixture and yes reflectors are...

    lighting dilemma - need opinions

    sucks about your issues with the Nova, the only issue i ever had was that i replaced one ballast under warranty other than that no issues at all. I know a few people who have them and love them. It's worked like a champ... I am leaning towards the MH/T5 setup and thinking of the 250 MH even...

    48" 6x54W Tek Light T5 High-Output Fixture. Good enough for 90g SPS?

    I think most people think the TEK is better because of the individual reflectors and the bulbs are better. you can always swap out the bulbs. The stock bulbs on the Nova are ok. ATI are much better. I think the 6 bulb NEP is better then the 8 bulb NE. The NEP still has one reflector but but now...

    48" 6x54W Tek Light T5 High-Output Fixture. Good enough for 90g SPS?

    That's what i have heard. it has individual reflectors which is why people think it's better. I have the 4 bulb nova extreme now and have had no issues and love the fixture. so is the tek fixture $200 better i don't think so IMO.... I'd rather spend the extra money on something else. Just my...

    Cooking rocks?

    I had unwanted bubble algae so i cooked mine in the oven for an hour at 400 degrees. Killed it dead, no bubble algae in over 3 years. I had to re-cure my rock but it was worth it. actually cooking it is the only way to get rid of unwanted algae....Keeping it in a bucket with a skimmer, heater...

    48" 6x54W Tek Light T5 High-Output Fixture. Good enough for 90g SPS?

    i'm having the same issue but thinking of going to MH from T5's. you can keep SPS with T5's people on here do with no issues. You should be fine.. I was actually looking at the Nova extreme pro 6 bulb setup. it's about a 100 less then the Tek and most of the threads i've seen on it get pretty...

    lighting dilemma - need opinions

    all information taken into consideration, thanks everyone. I have seen Wendy's tank and i like what she did.. I know SPS can be kept under T5's and i'm leaning that way. I was looking at the new Nova exteme Pro 6 bulb fixture. Most threads i have seen from people owning it are very pleased with...

    lighting dilemma - need opinions

    I love T5's i just wasn't sure if 6 would be enough output for SPS corals. I know with the 4 now i can grow any type of softie with no issues...Also i was considering the MH/T5 combo for when i upgrade to a larger tank most likely a 120 i'd like to stay in the 4 foot range....
