Thanks so much for all of your replies. I dont know how much truth there is to this but I was just speaking with my friend and he said that ballats that coralife uses do not put out the wattage they claim to put out.

Hello, I currently have a 75 gallon reef tank setup. I have been looking for a Metal Halide/PC Hood. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am going to be keeping various clams and corals. I am in between buying one of the following below: If anyone has time to help me choose a light that...

Has anyone bought lites off ebay before. The reason I ask is because I am looking for a metal halide/PC combo hood for a 75 gallon and I saw some good deals with AQUAUNIVERSE. Has anyone ever bought from them? How much of a discount do we get with captive reefs? Any recommendations of where...

Wouldnt worry about the anemone, I had the same thing happen. Mine was oozing out this mustard color stuff. It lived it just took a little time for it to come around.

Would it be over kill to have the water from the tank coming into a wet/dry then into a refuguim and then through a UV then back into the tank?

Hey PHY, what is in your fuge? Why do you fear Kalkwasser?

When dosing with kalkwasser does anyone also dose iodine and Strontium.?

I had a pair of convicts with a pair of severums, assorted african cichlids and a pim catfish. The convicts produce fry like crazy, they also used to eat the eyes of the guppies i would throw in. They are aggresive only towards the guppies I would throw in or each other because they were a...

I read that too, to be careful with the addition of carbon. Anyone have any bad experiences with using carbon in a reef tank. My only experience with carbon would be in my fresh tank and the fish are real hardy so the carbon is really not a issue.

While cycling, if you are having a issue with alage I would just keep your lights off, reduce the chance of any alage blooms. When you are doing your water changes vacuum the sand bed to remove anything that died off. I just put my hand in the tank and make a fanning motion which will remove...

Thanks alot. Not sure right now what I am going to house in the tank. I am focusing on getting all the essential parts of the tank done. I have a couple questions 1) Could salt creep eat through wire? Reason I ask is because on some of the wires for the powerheads I get salt creep and I use...

Wow, saw those pictures and glad the tank put the fire out or the whole house would have been destroyed. For the reef tank should I be following 7 Watt's per gallon? How much of a discount do we get with captivereefs. I wish we got discounts to bigal's I order from them all the time.

Thanks alot for the warning, its worth spending the extra money for that wavemaker. Going to check out that site now.

I was looking on ebay and you can get the ballast and two metal halide fixtures and bulbs for relativley inexpensive. I think I am going to go that route and build a canopy. Is it true with full reef tanks that you should use 7watts per gallon. That would set me at 525 watts of light. In the...

My pap last night handed down his tank to me. I have been taking care of it for a bit now. Its a 75 gallon tank. I added my 34 lbs of live rock from my 28 euro bowfront to it making it around 70-80 lbs of live rock. Light Question: He has a 175 Watt Metal Halide flood light on there that...
