I never really understood why anyone would care about LEDs on their tank for night until today. My shy shrimp is like a superhero at night, walking around as high up on the rocks as he can go. The fish are kind of boring, though. Even the clownfish, although he goes to the very top of the tank...

Thanks, guys. I think I'm going to try and head over to Tom's River and just pick up Mott's light. He seems like a helluva nice guy, and the price is right, and it sounds like exactly what I need. Thanks for the lookout...I've been keeping my eyes peeled on both rc and manhattanreefs and here...

It sounds like my best bet would be to make time to get to Tom's River and buy the t5 setup from mott768.

Thanks for the heads up, guys! T6 lighting, eh? I've heard of t5, t8 and even t12, but t6 is a new one to me!

Well, thanks for the heads up. My tank is acrylic and has no divider. I can't really afford that solution that you posted either, so I guess I'll just keep my eyes open. Or pile my rock on one side and put coral over there only. ;)

Re: Any thoughts on this eBay lighting solution? Any thoughts on whether this would be enough lighting for my 55g? http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1072537

Thanks, Matt. Sounds like a good plan to me. ;)

Well, I've had the rock in sw with a powerhead moving it around for about 24 hrs. I just did some tests, and the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate really turned out to be nothing. Think it's cured (didn't stink at all, either) or I just haven't had it in that 7 gallons long enough yet..?

Re: Any thoughts on this eBay lighting solution? Roger that, Ghost Rider. i won't be at the meeting though, unfortunately. Sounds like a fun shin-dig though. I'm a 45+ 100% positive feedback ebay user since 2001. Been round the block there, and you're definitely right on about the feedback. :)

Re: Any thoughts on this eBay lighting solution? Mott, Whenever I think of lights, I always think back to the setup you have for sale. If I was closer, I'd have that baby sitting on my tank right now. ;)

My current filters are 2 Emperor 400s, which are probably about the same thing. I was actually thinking of using rubble inmside them for filtration. My forthcoming protein skimmer is a flotor biostar, which is a skimmer and a hob filter system with some form of biowheel. I was thinking that...

That's pretty friggin cool. Of course, it looks like the cost to hook it up above most of your gargantua tanks would be excessive, to say the least!

No sump or fuge yet. Just live rock and some HOT filtration. So far my water parameters have been tits the whole time since it cycled *given that was only about a week or two ago*. I actually won a protein skimmer on ebay yesterday, so that'll be here soon. Thanks for all the advice, guys.

Re: Any thoughts on this eBay lighting solution? Yeah, thanks Ed...I'd like that. Not too many people around me have nice setups, and other than the pet store and pictures from online, I haven't seen too many up close either.

Thanks, guys. I'm going to let it cure for a few days, do some tests and some water changes, and go from there. I'd really like to ensure that i get some good life in my rocks sometime, as I haven't noticed anything moving around on the ones in my tank yet. Maybe I just need more time, or...

Awesome! Finally a friggin store in my neck of the woods. The best place I've found so far around here has been a Petco, believe it or not. Best selection, prices, and even the best LR I've seen for sale. Actually, if I may edit my post, while they had lots of good stuff in there, the guy...

So, I had to buy some dog chow @ the local pet store. I asked them if they had any live rock and this guy said they had some pieces upstairs, but a bunch of nice looking ones downstairs. So we go downstairs and he has a huge tub full of rock, probably 200 lbs+ He says they just bought that...

Re: Any thoughts on this eBay lighting solution? Good point! Have any plans at lunch tomorrow? ;)

Re: Any thoughts on this eBay lighting solution? I would guess I would probably have to call the fire department and find a new place to live. Good point. ;) I'm basically just trying to find some decent lighting for ~$100. Could be a little more, could be a little less. Just not sure of what...
