I would go with the ATI+ Purple. Dnov99 ran those in conjunction with his Sol Blues and they really added to the color of the fish and corals. With the magenta stunner strips, you might want to go with an actinic bulb if you fell you have enough "red" coming through. The blue+ is a great 14k...

The cobalts are supposed to be amazing, I think they top out at 100w. If you need the 150w the Jaegers.

Next time I want to see you build the tank itself. Looks really nice.

Most (if not all) large angels will pick at corals. I have seen plenty in reef tanks but usually with large colonies of SPS that it does not matter if they pick a bit. LPS they could destroy it will depend on the fish. You just have to weigh the cost of the fish vs how much the corals cost...

How many bulbs are you adding?

Looks great, what auto water change system where you looking at?

We do water changes because we have closed systems. We add nutrients daily through feeding and our fish/inverts pooping. You can remove those nutrients through skimming, chemical filtration, and water changes. Chemical and skimming will get most of it but not all of it, water changes will get...

It all depends on your system and what you have. With my nanos that were coral heavy I had to be diligent 10% weekly as you have a small system volume and sensitive corals. In my bigger system I am more lax, maybe 20% every 2-3 weeks. I still have the same sensitve corals but my tank is...

I would nix the six line. They are known terrors and in a 40 it might just kill all your fish. Maybe a nice flasher wrasse. I will pm you on equipment if it becomes available.

A three foot sump will give you some nice room in the stand to put an ATO container and some other things.

Did you get mine?

If you are going to run everything HOB, I would recommend the CPR HOB refugiums and the Aqua C Remora. Let me dig around I think I still have both of mine off of my old systems. Lighting: You might be able to get away with a 4 bulb but if you can find a 6 bulb you will be set for whatever...

I just sent a PM as a test and it went through.

Some breeders have had good luck with using a small flower pot. The clowns like the security of it and they will spawn in there. It is tough once they choose their spot, but as jgraz mentioned a tile would work well too. Do you have a sump or another area you could take the water from that...

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...
