I have 2x54 W T5 got it from AO it is the one with the Nova Extreme FW has growth bulb....I don't do CO2 though. I am too old school for that I guess. Better results then old fixture. Makes the house look pretty funky at night cuz the SW tank is blue glow and the FW a redish glow...

Very understandable...hope that one of the skilled craftsmen here can build you a kick butt stand. Win win for everyone. For sure some of the stands built are better then the store made ones.

Looks great your pics are better then mine so you cannot be that bad ;)well maybe as mine are the worst.

That is cool ... hope you can find someone to take a couple shrimp off your hands.

http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=143&Itemid=43 For me ... certainly a personal preference here that T5 lighting is going to be the most economical way to go. My two suggestions, I guess your tank is 24 in long right, would be either the T5 lighting from...

Hawkeye beat me to it. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. For sure it is running great. ;D A TLF reactor is an easy solution for phos..I just put in one but one in and am using Seachem SeaGel which is both carbon and phosphate remover. I didn't really have a problem with my new tank with...

Most of the T5 fixtures sit on top of the tank or if you get what they call a retrofit you build a canopy for them. I did the third alternative which is to hang them from the ceiling. I wanted that particular look. I did have a 55G freshwater tank that I put a duel T5 fixture on top of the...

Little red plasic container ....sure it is perfectly fine.

I had a Centropyge argi(smaller angel) that never ate any corals. He ran around picking at everything and anything. Did it bother my corals or clam no not usually unless he got a hold of a hairy mushroom hair then it would ball up. Great little fish till he decided to jump. I do wonder if their...

Wow great job in such a short time...guess your girlfriend does good work huh? ;) Like the white stand on the dark purple background really sets it off.

Don't go to fast. Read some...talk to long term reefers like Mike...I think you will be happier if you take your time and decide for yourself what you want first then make a plan to set up you tank. Like REEFLECTIONS said learn how to keep things stable first then start adding stuff. Good bio...

Looks like a common type of mushroom...the anemone I have no idea. That skimmer gets very mixed results. If you go with a low bioload fish wise and don't go SPS now then put your money into lights and a decent RO/DI unit, and keep up with very good water changes. I will post up AWI group buy...

I don't know how you keep all the animals/fish fed, cleaned and any time for yourself. I catch heck for having two tanks, with some house plants and a yard and not having time. Would suggest some sort of risk reward analysis for all your tanks. If you can think of any you have not sat in front...

Welcome aboard. Buying RO water from LFS might be cheaper then where you are buying now. Don't know where you live will point you in the right direction or let someone close to you point you in the right direction. Go spend a little more for RO IMHO it will be a big help on a little tank. (I...

Nice job Justin...should have said hello yesterday I was busy running after my son half the time. Everything looks great. James

It was actually from the guy who runs http://www.reefshops.com/ (basically, the same guy in China who sells the pumps on Ebay). The service was top notch. They also have a full year factory warranty on all the pumps, IIRC. Well it sure does look like the service is top notch. I would prefer...

Very nice Candi....it is always amazing to see how a couple little corals look huge in an eight gallon tank.

Could you also put one pump as a direct loop and the other into the sump?  120 is a good size.

Response removed. Adds nothing productive to the thread. Please continue to keep this thread productive or we will need to close it. Thanks for your cooperation Jonathan was it from the supplier in China, the seller on eBay from (US or China), or US distributor? I am happy that you got good...

I don't want to be part of a flame war but given the number of people out of work in the US I think it makes sense for us to buy US made. I am happy to say my tank, sump, skimmer(minus the Italian pump), and light fixture are all made in USA. I went with the "cheaper" Catalina lights very happy...
