Re: New 200 and 150 gallon Marineland tanks.
The Marineland tanks are nice. But, I decided to go with the 120 Tech tank. Will at AO got me a tremendous price on the tank and stand, thank you thank you. They are pretty similar feature wise. My wife and I like the modern look so worked out very well.
You can find them on eBay cheaper as reefsandrotts points out. If you want the 8 bulb you will have to get the silver at the moment ;)I am wasting way to much time on equipment shopping.
Me too, I am waiting till September going with the Tek lights I really don't want to invest in a chiller now too. Should be 360 with discount at 8x54, there are also the T5 on eBay that come from Catalina that are a bit cheaper good warranty.
I thought about something similar for my new tank, but with LED lights. My sticking point would be that you loose some inches on either end of the light and perhaps don't get as good a coverage on the ends, meaning that the light wouldn't come in from the same angles. It is a good question I...
The Maxijets are the only cheap powerheads that you can run on a wave device right? I have a single K2 on my nano and I love it, with the stock pump in the filter section I get about 35X turnover. K2 is pointed at the surface FYI.
What everyone else said. I have the CP on my current tank and I never realized how the light changed until I swapped out the bulbs. They are really crappy after 5M. I am getting the Tek lights T5 8x54 I think for my 120. They produce less heat then CP and last longer. VHO are nice but I don't...
I would go with the T5s. I have PCs on my nano as you know. For sure in 1 year they are crapped out (technical word usage). I just replaced them and I can see the diffence which tells me I waited too long. I have T5s on my FW tank and I really like them. I think they provide better light, with...
I hope he is happy...I am, he got me a great price on the 120 Tech tank and stand. I am trying to figure all the extra's now. After seeing your tanks VHO are certainly in the mix. After seeing your tanks my willpower was very low ;D I will be watching to see how yours goes for sure. I really...
I don't know how you are going to do it some of those corals are just huge. But if any break off I guess you will have frags for sale at the fragswap ;D. Thanks for all the advice too, though you could have kept me from AO as I ended up getting a new tank. I guess I caught the upgrade virus when...

She has a 120 and they go through all the permutations of possible plumbing. Different options and there is a link in there somewhere on how to build a buffer for the durso(sort of like...
