    Lighting

    Ok great stuff guys. But one more problem. The 60” tank has a darn center brace making 3 lights no good. Would two 360’s work. And would that make the t-5 as suplament make more sense

    I did not consider mixing the 160 and 360. Great input. I have not yet found any info on par measurements of the 160. Just the 360. Anyone happen to know them.

    Lighting

    I have been reading my But off about lighting and frankly I am getting the feeling It’s one of those subjects like politics and religion were people are extremely polar. To start my DT is 60” wide 24” deep 18” front to back. I would like to use a hybrid T5/ LED solution and I intend on...

    The Woes of Water

    Well I guess time will tell but truth be told. Just working with the cards I was dealt. Very limited space. And lots of old stuff. Either way it’s been fun.

    Good Dry Rock to Use?

    I don’t know the biocube. Hopefully someone else does. But marine pure recommends gently rincing them in rodi water as needed. But I’m sure that’s different for everyone

    Good Dry Rock to Use?

    I have definitely learned one big thing with Hallowhead’s unfortunate bout with aptaisia. I’m happy I went with man made rock. But I wish I started cycling it when I began the build. It just sat there for months until I was ready. My next tank I will definitely begin the cycle first...

    Inverts for a new tank

    I am slightly behind as my cycle is not yet complete. About how long after the cycle is complete and you introduce your first fish do you wait to turn the lights on.
