    Good coral sites

    14K 175watt Metal Halide Bulb - Iwasaki

    Merv where did you see that about the bulbs? Do the 175w 14k Iwasaki give as much par as the 250's? I may have to try them if that's true, I was thinking of going with 250's on the 120, if these bulbs give as much par I'd rather do that than have a higher electric bill.

    Freshwater ? *ducks*

    Guppies and mollies are not as hardy as tetra's they are more prone to ick during a cycle they do not handle stress as well, fishless cycles are harder to do with freshwater because there is nothing in the tank to feed the bacteria. I've had 19+ years experience with freshwater and the easiest...
