LEDs vs halide absolutely you will see the difference in electric usage. Also they put out less heat which might negate your chiller which is an energy hog as well.

No, we just left ours on the window sill and let them do their thing. I am sure we will be firing it up once again soon, just want to get the big tank settled in.

Check around with our sponsors, I know several have some great prices on tanks. Unfortunately most are not in cherry hill. But Trop and AO generally have very very competitive prices on tanks. I am sure one of the southerners down there will chime in with the best options. Also, click on the...

You have to start with the size tank/sump you want because that will dictate what equipment you should/could get. I agree with Ryan that a 120 (4x2x2) would be a really good choice. You will appreciate the two foot depth and save 6 inches on the sides which will give you some room to play...

These are the inlines heaters they make for bigger tanks. http://www.championlighting.com/home.php?cat=1507 I thought about it but 1k for a heater just seemed excessive.

Tropiquarium has the 120 gallon version setup in their store if you want to see one running. I was quite impressed with the overall build quality and the components. I started with all AIO systems because I like you am not mechanically inclined. However, I got away from that and have a...

adesimone has the 3x3x3 cube which is 150 gallons and it is a stunner. If that is too big I would go with at least the 75g or 90g. I had the 57g which was three feet but it was narrow which you will want to upgrade from down the line. In my opinion and only my opinion, I would not get...

That is an amazing light, someone should snap that up.

+1 on this reactor, I have it and love it.

Welcome to the boards. Put a post out in the equipment thread on the Red Sea Max and I am sure you will get some answers.

Test the outgoing effluent from the calcium rea crowd for alk. If it is good to go I do not think you would need a ton of extra flow.

Bio spira and Dr. Tims are bacteria, if dosed and then not given any food, yes they will die and your cycle will continue. If you do not feed it, i.e. add fish or inverts then yes it will die off and do nothing. When you dose them, you need to add livestock within 24 hours, within a few hours...

Dr. Tim created bio spira and then left and formed his own company and hence you have two different products that are essentially the same. I have used both.

Mine "vanished" in a 30g, took me a day or so to find him.

Those shrimp can hide pretty well, so give it a day or two before you panic.

Ralph over at Elos thought is dead honest about the lights and the effect they have on the fish so no one is going to go home disappointed I was just amazed how a little bit of red led can really make a fish glow when all we ever thought about was coral coloration.

All of the birdsnest frags you gave to us are doing really well so if you need some back just let us know.

Jim has amazing SPS and you will not be disappointed with the frags. I love the stuff I got from him at my meeting.

Paul if you want to see the effect of LEDs and fish, go take a look at the Elos store. He has some LED units over the big in wall display in the back and the fish look amazing. Everyone wants the purple tang with the orange tail, it is just a normal purple tang but with a touch of LEDs you can...

Wow that is a stunner, very nice pickup.
