Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I got the Apollo ones during our group buy which turned out to be a bit self serving I must admit.

But they are super lights.
Looks a little weak but a simple bulb change might be all you need. Something in the spectrum area that Cdiggy said he uses will work.
I always used a clip on shop light with a spot in it so nothing fancy is needed.
+1 it is good to have if only to keep the O2 up...sounds like you could improve the sound by adding a pipe down into the water on your outflow? I have the hum but my outflow is at the bottom while the intake is higher up.
If he had a big 100 gallon one pretty sturdy, http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/storage/bins-totes-containers/stocktanks/rubbermaid-fg424288bla-stock-tank-100-gallon-black-270079?infoParam.campaignId=T9A&gclid=CJ2_irShhboCFYZe3god2jcA1w
For examle ....doesn't look good in the living room though.:D
Good to hear from you ... I think it was you that got me going for the upgrade years ago when I picked up inverts from your house. Seems like a long time ago...guess it was.
Congrats, though belated on the son, they are a blast.
When explaining how great it was to have a natural gas generator which you spent a fortune on...and you start off with... Well I got it because I have a reef tank, a freshwater tank...
If you can find a good deal used then get it while you can. Another good reason for a basement room is you can half set it up to keep live rock live etc. Where as 250 lbs of live rock in your living room is not going to make your better half happy. Collect stuff as you go. If you are using a...
Return pump is only one way that you can achieve circulation.
Vortechs, Koralia, Jebo, Sicci are all probably more efficent then a return pump. I tend to think that when you hit a certain size the return pump is more of a secondary circulation instrument then the internal pumps. Your return...
What kind of lights are you getting? I went from T5 to the Apollo LED http://apolloreefled.com/ during our group buy and I noticed a huge difference in tank temp. I never went above 80 this summer. Yes had the AC on a little cooler then you but made a big difference.

(did I spell that right?) If you have spoken your piece as I have just let it go.
Thanks

2) mess factor .. when you have a flood(eventually it will happen) it will be in the basement. (good arguement for wife)
3) you can fit a larger water system in basement vs under...
I moved from a 29 to a 120. That was great. Go to the basement, Mikes settup is freeking awsome if you can go that crazy.
I regret having my sump under the tank to this day. If at some point I redo my stand it is going in the half basement with all my water change stuff.
