Or are there any systems out there that have no waste water output

Ok so I was looking at different RO/DI systems being that I pay for water in the city I live in and don't want to waste a bunch of water so I was thinking of going with a 1-1 ratio system. My question is if I instead of dumping the waste water back down the drain (I also have a sewage charge on...

What filters do I need for the canisters and in what order?

Is there any way to build your own so its a custome built system I'm limitrd on space and it seems all the ones available are too big for what I'm trying to accomplish.

Any time intervals? ?

I just got two 36" t5ho 4 blub lights for my 125g they also have blue leds two of the blubs are 12000k 39w daylights and two 39w blue acentic (not sure I spelled that right) is there a certain pattern I want to have the lights come on?? To mimic sunrise, mid day, afternoon, evening, and...

The 12000k is the intensity of the the t5 and the 4900k is the intensity of the led (kelvin) heat/sun ratings on bulbs.

Then why is it if I look at a t5 bulb and it has a scale of "sunlight" rating of 12000k and also look at a LED with the same scale for "sunlight" and its at 4900k. I guess I answered my original question. And corrected you mr.x.

I'm not looking for product direction on that question I'm looking for the comparrison of say a 12000k day light t5 bulb what do I need to look for with LEDs.

Ok so what would I be ideally looking for with led lighting?

Ok we'll I've got a better skimmer on its way. Now LEDs or t5 lights what's the best? I don't want to do metal hilides.

Ok. Well for the time being it'll do. I just got the tank filled from my LFS last night. So it'll be a while before I start to stock the tank. I talked with him last night he said it'll do for now with fish but once I start doing corals ill need to upgrade.

So what if I put a bigger pump on the tube itself. Being that I'm limited on space.

It is rated for a 150 though and I will be running a marine land magnum 150 canister filter

No its a fresh start on the tank that's just the picture the people posted to show that it holds water it was set up as a salt tank then the people I bought it from re did the thank as a brackish tank they had no clue what they were doing the guy got mud from the river and filled it with water...
