Ok great! Well thank you all. I guess I will go with the 67/4000 combo. What exactly is/meaning of "rosette"? Sorry all the questions, just new to the plant lighting aspect

Also, what would be the difference in the two combinations, the 10k and 4k rosette with a 67k?

I was looking for 36", 39w, anywhere between 65-67k. I found smaller wattage but it seemed as if the selections were very few and far between. I more than likely will just find some on the Internet as the selections tend to be so abundant. The only thing that scares me is the shipping with such...

Thanks everyone! Yeah, so, I was leaning towards just doing all 65 or 67. I didn't think it would wash things out because they are rated so great for growing plants, but then again.. I've never had experience with this yet, therefore never seeing this for myself. I guess I just want the best...

Hi all! I am fairly new to the planted scene, never before delving into it but I now have finally decided to take the plunge. I will be doing a standard 6' 150 gallon that is I believe a depth of 28". I have been patient, slowly accumulating EVERYTHING the last, almost year, simply so not to...

Ok thanks, still searching for good lighting at a decent price. But about to add some Eco complete substrait and start it cycling.

36 in. T5 fish tank lighting made by current u.s.a in good working condition all 4 bulbs are 3weeks old.each unit has 2 54w bulbs 420/10k.these lights are plenty of light for saltwater corals or fish only. Rivercats, I was wondering if maybe this would work? Found this on CL. The guy has 2 36"...

They seem pretty reasonable. I still don't understand what all the "k" numbers mean as far as strength of light and the beam angle and what that would do. Sorry, like I said.. I'm clueless when it comes to planted lighting

Ok cool. Thanks for your help. I'll be asking as I run across them on Craigslist. It just confuses me when it comes to all the abbreviations, and what a ballast does and is, and what wattage I'd need and so on. So it's just as easy to ask all of you.

72 inch Coralife Aqualight Pro - $225 Email: w6pmf-4046891525@sale.craigslist.org Location: Lebanon Date: 2013-09-04, 9:29PM EDT Bought new in 2005 by myself for $960.00 (I still have the original receipt of purchase). Fits 125 gallon aquarium. Come with 3 ballasts. Does need all new bulbs...

You have both given me great ideas that I will continue to look into and weigh the pluses and minuses of what I will want in the end. Now as for substrait, I'm still not sure what to do there. I have 150 lbs of pool filter sand I was originally gonna use before I decided to go planted. I don't...

So the ones you suggested from Amazon, 20cc, are those like the fixture already or would I need to get a fixture as well? And what's the length?

Not tight per say, I mean I want the best I can get, but tight as far as dropping 700-1000 dollars in one setting. That's why I was looking at the Marineland LED's. Do like 3-24's. but again... I'm not sure exactly what I need. I want to be able to support high light but be able to put in...

Yeah it's seeming like lighting is really expensive. So those marineland LED's wouldn't be a good choice? I saw decent prices on their 24'. I guess I basically just need someone close that has done this before to walk me thru it. Step by step. It's a lot for someone who has never delved in...

My tank is about 30' which I believe is standard for the 150. I do have 150 lbs of pool filter sand I was originally gonna use before I decided to go planted. Would that still work do you think? I'm really just in the dark with everything. I looked at the lighting and it seems alittle expensive...

I accidentally hit send. Anyways to sum it up... I need help with substrait, lighting and really everything. I plan on CO2 but again I don't know much about this so please help with anything you can. Thanks!!!

Hi all and thanks in advance for any ideas and advice. I will start by saying that I have been in the fish hobby for a few years now so I have plenty of knowledge about keeping fish but always trying to learn more. My newest venture will be planted with fish. I have a 150 gallon I will be...

So I posted this in the equipment section but I don't think it probably gets a lot of views, so I'm gonna repost here. My question is... Would it be safe/sturdy, to put a 6'x18" 150g on a 6'x2' stand? It would be a standard stand that has the outer lip/rim, but a hollow middle. The reason I ask...

Just curious if anyone knows if it would be safe to put a 6'x18" 150g aquarium on a 6'x2' stand without anything bad happening. It would be a basic stand that has a rim but is hollow in the center. Just wondering if that's enough area for the 150 to sit safely...

Yeah I'd appreciate that. I did get on aquabid and found a good priced one from a guy with good reviews. The problem is, I've never used the site before so now I'm waiting to get a password just to try to get the one that's on there.

Yeah that was the first place I checked, just because of their selection about a week ago. When I checked yesterday they said they had a few about a month ago. Unfortunately I wasn't as proactive in trying to find one a month ago. I was hoping maybe someone knew of a local breeder that's not...

They ALL just tell me that they order them when they are available but haven't been available on their list lately.

That was supposed to be L- 0 1 8 don't know why it added that smiley

Hi all, I'm in the Columbus Ohio area and been searching relentlessly for an (L-018) Gold Nugget with no success. I could go online but I hate the thought of paying the $20-$30 shipping with no real guarantee the fish will arrive in good/healthy condition. I was wondering if anyone knows of a...

That would be my guess as well. I haven't used that filter either but it seems legit. Try to adjust it and see if the water comes out faster and slower. If so, that's defenantly what it is.
