I can't believe that price on LR! Of course, they don't ship to Canada, I doubt anyone can because it is livestock....not sure how that works. Nobody wants to smuggle some across the border for me do they? lol

It was used, about 10 hrs total on it. I understand the whole used bulb thing, but I was expecting at least store credit towards a new fixture. Like you said, this is the start of a big curve

LFS would not take the 36" coralife back, so we will be using it for the time being. My next question, when we upgrade, would we be able to use it as a second canopy?

Thats how I figured it, but seeing as I haven't bought my LR yet, and Melissa should be able to return it tomorrow, I may as well shop for something that will suit us better

Yes, but you do need some lighting to cycle your tank and take care of your live rock etc. don't you? If I need lighting, I may as well return the one I have rather than be stuck with it. Other than that, the only lighting I have is the single 36" flourescent I was running freshwater with that...

Well, my wife is going to return the lighting tomorrow, we only picked it up on Friday, and we are going to look for something a bit better online. Unfortunately, our budget is tight at the moment, Melissa was in a car accident a month ago and hasn't been back to work. chances are we will...

Can you point me in the direction of what I should be getting as far as lighting? I realize that you get what you pay for, but I also want to be able to afford the rest of this tank as well. Thanks for the help. My tank is 46gal bowfront, and measures 36" wide

Exactly! I'm finding the light I just purchased for about half online. Take shipping into account, and I'd still save alot. Live rock is 10/lb here. I want to support him cause he's our main source of info, but I don't want to go borke doing it. The flip side of that is no matter what I buy...

It is a coralife 36" There is one 21 watt 10000k daylight and one 21 watt true actinic 03 Blue. I really don't know alot about this, so I'm always wonding if I'm being had, although the guy seems genuine enough. I want to support the local guy, but at the same time it seems as I can save alot of...

It is a 36" 42 watt. No idea on which corals, but definately something easier to keep for starters. For sure an anemone, but no rush on that either. We're easygoing, so we can really take our time.

Thats what we are not sure of yet...... lol We are just starting into looking at what we can keep, but it will def be a reef with coral etc. The only thing we are set on is a pair of clowns, since we have a 3 year old and as you know every 3 year old wants a "Nemo"

Hi! We a a family from northern ontario, and just wanted to introduce ourselves. We are in the process of starting our first SW aquarium. We have a 46G bowfront, and since we are completely green when it comes to this, we are listening to our local guy and reading as much as we can! At this...
