Now your tank I've seen (pretty much), and the color was good. Any other suggestions? I've read alot of people seem to use XM, Ushio, or Iwasaki. Those seem to be the 3 popular brand choices.

Hey Edwin, here are some pics of my 55 and my 30. Hopefully soon to be combined in one 90. And here is an updated pic of the 30 gallon with some more rock on the left hand side:

The Secaucus Petsmart has a Petshotel. http://stores.petsmart.com/petsmart/cgi/selection?place=Middletown%2c%20New%20Jersey&name=&country=US&design=default&lang=en&option=B&mapid=NorthAmerica And my daughter's name is Kira. ;D

Is there a benefit to one over the other? (DE vs SE)? I see hellolights has an XM 15,000k SE available, bu only a 10,000k SE in Ushio. I was also reading something about icecap recomending Iwasaki (sp?) for the best results with their ballasts. Anyone know if there is any truth to that?

I'm going to be putting 2x 250watt SE MH on my new 90. I'm using the icecap ballasts. Any bulb choice preferences? I like the white/blue color combination, but would like to see coral growth as well. (I know, asking for the world, aint I!) I don't want the yellower tint if it can be avoided...

I'm glad you asked that! ;D I'm going to be putting 2 x 250's on my 90, that helps with the canopy planning.

Ok, so he is out and swimming around now. Guess he made it through the rough parts. His pretty purple tail fin spikes are gone (probably from where my daughter grabbed him by the tail), but he seems healthy. No visible marks or scratches, no visible scarring from salt burns. He is still VERY...

I tried skiing once. I fell down. I took the skiis off. I drank LOTS of "special" coffee by the fire in the lodge! LOL! Skiing looks like fun, but as my mama always said, Looks Can Be Deceiving! ;D

Hard to say without seeing the rock. If it's anything like the rock I got from that same group buy, you have some opportunities to really do some cool stuff. I got some pieces that look like towers, and was able to make a really cool arch in my 30 gallon. But when it all comes down to it, I'd...

I stand corrected. I'm by far not an expert.

;D

Agreed, Phyl. I think the distinction needs to be between utilizing the return policy for what it is, and taking advantage of or circumventing the return policy. So many of us in retail are held hostage by customers who like to threaten the "corporate complaint" as a means to an end. I avoid...

Lookin good Francis!

Hey Francis, take it from a retail manager. It's a trashcan (heck, I've taken open dog food back!). It's within the return policy. It can be resold. You don't have a need for it, or are unsatisfied with it. That all being said, no it isn't wrong. Had you bought the trashcan, and then returned...

Deep sand bed? Could it have been one of the dreaded nitrogen crashes? Sorry for your loss.. :-[

Ack. I think that would just make me break something. :(

He did move again. This time he is wedged in a rock with only his head sticking out. I'm guessing that took some measure of strength to do. He normally disappears at night anyway, so I guess we will see tomorrow.

I hear that. I saw them a few years back at the Tweeter center, which I think is some other name now, in Camden. Skid Row (without Sebastian Bach) and Ted Newgent opened. Good show (except for the idiots smoking pot 2 rows down).

Well, looks like he aint gonna make it. He's sitting on the bottom behind a rock. Damnit...

None that I can think of. Unless "Dr Evil" (the scopas tang) spooked him when I turned the pumps off. He does this really spazzy dance thing when I turn the pumps off because he knows its feeding time. That's the only thing I can come up with. I have heard they are jumpers, but you always...
