I have t5's on my 75gal 4 of them along with a pc. I love them very bright, i've just started with corals so don't have any long term advice. They are under a canopy my temp never varies more than 2 degrees.

I had an adult 6-line for 9 months with a peppermint, never bothered it. He did pester my hawkfish for a day when first introduced. Coolest fish I've ever owned, very personable. I miss him. :(

I believe it's quieter in submerged.

I think 6-8 is normal so your low.

I know I've read in the past about certain GAC releasing phosphates into the water, don't remember the brands. Try this rinse the new GAC in a bucket before you put it in your tank, then test the water in the bucket for phosphates, It's worth a shot next time your do for a change. :wink:

Have you talked with local reefers or LFS it could just be your water. Are you on a well or municipality? My only other concern may be the carbon try taking it out for a few weeks. :?

that's precisely what they are called spagetti worms - very good cleaners :wink:

My LFS has a nice display tank with a three year old clam (not sure type but about 8" long) anyway I went in yesterday and it was all recoiled down inside the shell (appeared dead) I asked owner what happened he said they added chemi-clean to get rid of cyano and it killed the clam. Anyone ever...

Yes I have a canopy - which is part of the problem the MH's would only be about 6" off the water depending on the depth of the fixture. I would definately put a few cooling fans in the canopy. I would like to keep the 36" PC and use two MH's I think this would be the cheapest way wouldn't it...

I think your 1/8" glass will be ok- Your overflow needs to flow as much water as your pump pumps. I'm not too sure about 1" keeping up with a mag 9.5. - PVC elbows need to be primered then glued with pvc glue available as a pair at any hardware- home improvement store. - I used 2" pvc for my...

Currently have a 36" satelitte pc (off old tank) I want to upgrade so I can have coral and a clam. Can I just buy two metal halides and hang them above the 36" PC? I'm alittle concerned the PC would block some of the light from the MH's. I could push the PC to the front or back and put the...

That is very sad, very nice people wonderful product, I wish them only the best. :(

LFS has one it is beutiful, the owner brags about it - says they're very hard to keep.
