oooh sorry meant 7 foot, by 30" wide by 24" deep, with 20"water depth.

Lighting for a 7" sps tank, 5x400w or 3x1000w? What would you suggest, i am thinking of either 5 400w low bay units: with say 3x 20k and then two 10k bulbs. Or have three 1000w units, with the Diamond Lumenarc 3 reflector, which did so well in Sanjays test...

cool thats good to hear, as im not sure i would be able to fit in some t5s anyway. and was thinking that the 20k 400w might be bluer to the eye then the t5s so may look wrong going from dark-light blue-dark blue-white-dark blue-light blue- dark.

Do actinics really help sps corals? Hiya guys i have been thinking about whether to use actinics on my new set-up. As i am going to be using 3 250watt se or 400watt se 20k, and 2 400watt se 10k. Have been wondering whether actinic supplementation would help. As i think the 20k has around the...

Acro bleeched, will it survive? I gpt this acro in the beginning of january: and under my lighting it was starting to get a nice blue tinge to it: but then i moved my tank, and i think this must of stressed it, as after around 1 month of the move the acro bleached half over night, so i...

yeah have just had a reply from the manufacturer who i got to do some tests for me as too the heat it would produce. well he got five of the units linked together and di some tests with heat emmited with the fans, and heat emmited with the fans. wow what a difference i know what ill go for now :)

Maxigrow Air-cooler. Hiya guys. I have just come across the Maxigrow Air-cooler: I was wondering if this would actually work and mean that there is not much heat going onto the tank :) :) :) Also i was wondering about the reflectors as the supernaova and the superdupa supernova both...

Aquabays. I am thinking of using some of these 400w se aquabays units, over my tank. http://www.marine-lighting.co.uk/ And am thinking of using a mixture of BLV 20k, BLV 10k and Iwasaki 6.5k. But as i would only be able to fit in one 6.5k i was wonderin would the light have much affect on...

:)

cool thanx for the help. yeah styrofoam = polystryene (its an over the water thing). I was thinking of going this so that, the ones i will get will have leaves, the leaves will be out the water but the stem/roots in the water. andrew

whats better 2 apf 600's or 1 ap 702? I am thinking about my new set-up, and will have a system of around 300 gals. It will be a totally sps tank with a few fish such as anthias, around 6, 2 clowns, cleaner wrasse and possible some more? I am looking to get the best water quality so will have...

cool thanx six-line, its so weird that you get so many different oppinions on how many. would they be okay in the sump in some polystyrene (spelling?) untill they get there roots going. In the sump have just live rock and no sand etc. And Have around 40cm above the water line for them to grow...

yeah please keep me updated on how they go.

cool thanx, i think ill go for some mangroves. I am setting up a 220 gal tank, so howmany mangroves do you think is about right, as i have heard from as much as one mangrove to 5 gals, and one mangrove to 20 gals? Also i was thinking of using just a normal t8 tube for the plants in trpical...

Macro algae or mangroves? I have been thinking of having a macro algae section in the sump to complement the skimmer. But i was reading today in one of my books that mangroves can be just as good if not better then maro algae. I have heard many people saying that mangroves are no good at...

well i am now thinking of using 4250s and then 8 150s (instead of actinics). And as the tank is cut into four becuase of the three cross beams. Each section will have 2 150s and 1 250. The 250 will be in the middle have a 10k bulb in it, and then the 150s will be one at the fron and one at the...

150w or 250w de MH for 19" water depth for sps? Just wondering on what you guys would go for. As i could get some 150w downlighters, which i think would look smart. Or get some 250 watt units. Also whichever one you think would be best, how many would you go for in a 7 x 2.5 wide x 19" water...
