Just cruising around Ebay. These seem pretty interesteing, if they actually provide a true "shimmer effect." Aquarium Reef LED Lamp 20W 14000K White 150W Metal Halide Alternative Light | eBay Any opinon on these, and how many would anyone recommend on a 90gal? Also looking at this one...

Looks good. Guess the 4 HO T5s aren't going to be enough. How much is the controller?

Looks great. I guess what i an really trying to figure out is how much is enough for my tank. How many Watts of ho t5s, how many Watts of pl's, or of leds?

I am interested in converting my 90gallon fowlr tank into potentially a reef tank. I have been shopping around and have become thoroughly confused. Would 260watts of PL lighting work? What about 216watts on a quad ho T5s? What about LEDs, i saw one that is 3300 lumens (46 daylights and 8...

Will I need some "seed rock," or will the rock still be alive?

I broke down a tank for a friend who was thinking about setting it up in a couple weeks in a different location. I kept the live rock in a tub with a heater and powerhead. She changed her mind, and said she was going to freshwater. The tub went outside, and the pump and heater came out. A month...

Well she had a 55 gallon set up after she bought the place. Things seemed fine until she painted the stairway going upstairs with petroleum based paint, then lost all the fish other than the damsels (of course). I found a used 90 gallon with glass lids that she wants to try. Hard talking her out...

Thanks. The trigger went back to the lfs. The butterfly has settled in and is out and about. I told her she needed to consult me first b4 purchases. Now just hoping the lion eventually takes care of her "damsel troubles." Lol

Sorry this was so long. Any ideas?

Ok. My friend has a 55 gallon tank in her business that I helped her set up. She cycled with damsels, and now all seems good. She has started adding some fish to the fowlr tank, pearl scale butt, maroon clown, pink tail trigger, and a dwarf lion. Parameters seem good, anf I have been increasing...

Either 32watt or 40watt, don't remember.

I have a new 55 gallon fowlr tank that I am considering converting to a reef tank. Right now I just have 4 ft strip light on top. It runs two fluorescent tubes. Would it be enough light if I added another strip like this, or do i need a completely different lighting system for this tank? Thanks...

Thinking about a fox face. How dangerous are the spines?

Guess maybe I will go with a yellow tang. Like the blues, and really like moorish idols, but I am pretty sure that a 90 gallon is just not big enough.
