For $665 Captivereefs.com has a 48" corallife aqualightPro with dual 150wat 10,000K HQI and dual 96 watt PCs with lunar lights to boot. Thats what I am using on my 75gal at 6.5 watts/gal. but I will have Sps, clams and more

Rcolbath very nice rocks there, it does look small for 240 lbs though. I just ordered from ReeferMadness 65 lbs of Buna Branch coral which Chris (owner) says is full of sponges and the like, but may take 4-6 weeks to cure depending on who the sponges survive the trip. He said its his lightest...

I will strongly second Reef Invertebrates by calfo & fenner!!! Great stuff on refugiums and live rock & sand. Its just everything you want to know. I just returned Reef Secrets as the book was more fluff than substance with nice photos. Save your money.

Checkout the following site. it will help you out with deciding http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/cav1i1/protein_skimmer_impressions.htm and buy from CaptiveReefs as they will give youa good deal with aa.com 6% discount

Oh, and I forgot to add if you want a higher watt bulb they also have 42 and 55 watt bulbs for around $20, but they would also need reflector http://www.bulbman.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=3920 Cheers!! 8)

Well everyone I found what we are looking for... :mrgreen: Bulbman.com has compact fluorescents for our refugiums with good light spectrum!!! The first is 15 watt 5100K screw socket with built-in reflector for 8000 hours (2 years at 12hrs/day) for $10.29...

Actually Captivereefs has been great!! No way they could have known there was a crack since the unit was still cellophaned. Darin is sending me a replacement skimmate cup, so should be no problem in the long run. Cup still works, just has a crack in it. I will keep buying from captivereefs...

I am putting together a 29gal sump/refugium for my 75gal reef tank. I figure I need 3 chambers one for remora Pro, refugium and sump. I have no idea how tall to make the acrylic walls to promote waterflow. Anyone know of any layouts or designs that work. Pictures would be ideal Thanks

The EuroReefs are quite pricey, but I received a busted AquaC Remora Pro in the mail today. SO maybe I should have gone with them.

Received my Remora Pro today with the Mag3 and I was shocked to see the same bad construction as grimlock3000 did... [center:bc0fb53c0c][/img][/center:bc0fb53c0c] Worse the corner of the skimmate receptacle was cracked... [center:bc0fb53c0c][/center:bc0fb53c0c] I am bummed because I was...

I found an awesome reference comparing all main protein skimmers on wetwebmedia.com It shares one person's extensive experience with many skimmers and can help us all choose the one which best fits our needs. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/cav1i1/protein_skimmer_impressions.htm

tripper, thats my plan too, but I might try reefermadness

That adds the bacterias, but I want the bugs :oops: Worms and the like would be spectacular!!

Great aquascape!! Yeah the shelf rock looks perfect. I'll let everyone know what I am doing next week. Setting up the tank this weekend and hopefully adding rock next week. I'll drop some photos for you.

You go spongebobby!!! Kudos to you!!! Share the knowledge!!! I am probably going with reefermadness next week (the name is catchy and makes me hungry) :roll: to start and then over to LR once the long distance stuff cures well.
