Me too, I am waiting till September going with the Tek lights I really don't want to invest in a chiller now too. Should be 360 with discount at 8x54, there are also the T5 on eBay that come from Catalina that are a bit cheaper good warranty.

I thought about something similar for my new tank, but with LED lights. My sticking point would be that you loose some inches on either end of the light and perhaps don't get as good a coverage on the ends, meaning that the light wouldn't come in from the same angles. It is a good question I...

The Maxijets are the only cheap powerheads that you can run on a wave device right? I have a single K2 on my nano and I love it, with the stock pump in the filter section I get about 35X turnover. K2 is pointed at the surface FYI.

What are your dimensions on your sumps?

Thanks for all the details. :)

What everyone else said. I have the CP on my current tank and I never realized how the light changed until I swapped out the bulbs. They are really crappy after 5M. I am getting the Tek lights T5 8x54 I think for my 120. They produce less heat then CP and last longer. VHO are nice but I don't...

Super thanks for the update!! How difficult was it to attach to the tank?

Thanks if I can help let me know.

I would go with the T5s. I have PCs on my nano as you know. For sure in 1 year they are crapped out (technical word usage). I just replaced them and I can see the diffence which tells me I waited too long. I have T5s on my FW tank and I really like them. I think they provide better light, with...

I hope he is happy...I am, he got me a great price on the 120 Tech tank and stand. I am trying to figure all the extra's now. After seeing your tanks VHO are certainly in the mix. After seeing your tanks my willpower was very low ;D I will be watching to see how yours goes for sure. I really...

I don't know how you are going to do it some of those corals are just huge. But if any break off I guess you will have frags for sale at the fragswap ;D. Thanks for all the advice too, though you could have kept me from AO as I ended up getting a new tank. I guess I caught the upgrade virus when...

Check out this thread http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1310238&perpage=25&pagenumber=8 She has a 120 and they go through all the permutations of possible plumbing. Different options and there is a link in there somewhere on how to build a buffer for the durso(sort of like...

ME TOO ;D

Sorry to hear about it. I guess the sand bed was the cuplrit? That is the trickiest concept...can you transfer or not a particular sandbed??? Just change your water daily and it should all settle down pretty quick. On a positive note nice new fish.

I know it has fake Mangroves but has anyone seen the corner tank at Jenkinsons? Or more to the point has anyone seen a real version of their fake one? I would like to do something like it at some point. For those have not been their it is I think a 50G corner tank with no top and the mangroves...

Thanks for the input, the angel has worked well so far. I am pretty happy with the mix of fish at the momment. I am looking forward to getting a bigger reef tank in the hopefully near future but my plan is to still keep this tank. It is a has been a very good learning tool and fun in it's own...

Well I have not updated in forever. Here is a pic of my angel from our group buy. Very interesting fish constantly picking at this and that (sometimes something she shouldn't). I have had great growth with some of my corals. My flower anemone not so much ( think the angel my be the cause )...

Very cool! Very nice plans.

Excellent thread .... check out Catalina Aquarium. 12xT5 so you really get some extra light plus it is programable like the LED lights. Couple people have the 8XT5 from them or the ebay seller. I have not found anyone who has the 12XT5 though. It I believe will be my choice when I go to a tank...

Thanks John for posting your results, I guess it has to be out of water not submerged right? Appreciate ibn posting the web site that tore it apart. I guess it can work, I wonder if for some people it will do something and for other nothing depending on water makeup? Magnets are sort of a...
