Well I really wanna do 8 T5's but it comes out to be 16 inches wide and my tank is 13 inches wide. I'm going to be building a custom canopy but even with 16" lights my canopy would have to be like 18 or 20 inches which wouldn't work out very well. I could fit a 4 light T5 and a 2 light T5 but I...

Just for lighting in general, its mainly going to be just a FOWLR tank but im going to have an anenome or two in it as well, so Im just not sure which one of those if those at all will work.

Whats a better deal 260W Compact Flourescent 48" for 109.99 Or... 156W 36" T6HO for 109.99 (It's for my 55Gal 48" Tank)

That's a nice setup but 430 is a bit much for me

Yea but by having the back open-ended like that isn't it bothersome or kind of an eye-sore to see the light coming out of the back? I'm going to be ordering a T5 fixture in the next day or two 48" T5HO T5 Aquarium Light Cichlid T-5 Reef Lighting - eBay (item 330250470407 end time Aug-05-08...

Is this a good deal for T5 Lighting? 48" T5HO T5 Aquarium Light Cichlid T-5 Reef Lighting - eBay (item 330250470407 end time Aug-05-08 21:51:02 PDT)

I'm going to be constructing my custom canopy within the next week or two, but my main question is the back of the canopy, should I just not put a back on it or leave parts open for my add-ons? I'm going to be having a HOB protein skimmer and I think its going to be getting in the way, also do I...

I was just going to go with a bubble tip. I'm just not sure how many watts of MH I'll need or how many NH for that matter.

There are microscopic life that live inside and on the rock (there may also be small marine life like a snail or shrimp). Live rock also acts as a biological filter.

I've heard alot of good things about the AquaC Remoras but I am in the same boat as you, not sure which one to go with yet, sorry :-?

If your worried about MH being too hot you could buy some computer fans (about 2.99 each from tigerdirect.com) and have them blowing across the lights, not sure how would you do this unless you have a custom canopy though. I plan on using MH and was worrying about heat because my house is...

I would say if you have a larger tank use the 22 gallon as a sump/fuge if not then I would use it to make a nano tank.

I have a question to add to this, when establishing a new tank, can you still put both in the tank? I know it would be better to put cured live rock in the tank so it cycles better, but since there are no livestock in the tank yet couldn't you still put un-cured live rock in it?

What type wattage would I need for a 55 gallon tank? Its 48"L x 13"W x 22"D Its mostly going to be FOWLR but I think I'm going to have 1 or 2 anemones in it as well, any help would be great!

Thanks for the advice, lighting has been one of my biggest issues as what to do, I'll do some pricing today, thanks again!

I'm curious on what everyone thinks a decent lighting setup is for 48x13x21 55 gallon tank. FOWLR and some inverts, and maybe an anemone or two, I do not want to run Metal Halides cause of the heat and price of them, someone had told me all I need is dual bulb setup with a fluorescent 10K and...

Awesome, thanks for the help

Not sure about what to put in the canister yet, and no I haven't bought any of the supplies yet besides the 55Gallon tank and stand, I'm new to the Aquarium community, I've been reading up a few books and forums before I start to do anything, everyone says to research before you buy. Any ideas...

Going to be setting up my 55 gallon tank in a month or so, here is what im going to be putting in it as of right now... 55lbs of Live Rock 60-70lbs of Live sand Eheim 2215 Filter Classic Plus AquaC Remora Protein Skimmer (for 20-75 Gallon tanks) (x2) Hydor Koralia #3 Not sure on what kind of...

Yea price is a bit much, maybe I'll just stick to the original plan and just have one or two for the shimmering effect.

I didn't even think of how water was going to get to the right side, more than likely a small pump as stated previously. Thanks for all your help guys!

No, 1/4" acrylic/plexiglass you can get it at most hardware places like home depot, lowes, ace hardware/best hardware, or you can get it online, for my plans it would cost like 80.00 for all of it, give or take some, if you buy it at the hardware store they will cut it all for you to the sizes...

I am curious if any one has done full lighting with LEDs. I have a 55 Gallon tank and its going to have FOWLR and a few inverts like a sea cucumber and maybe a starfish, I like these ones Marinedepot.com Search results for 'Current USA', 'LED Lights' they are rated at 10,000K but im not sure if...

Lets see if that shows up this time.. I like the link you gave me, kind of expensive though, not compared to most fuges though, but I think building one will be cheaper and it will be specific to the person who designs it..

My tank stand is completely divided into two sections due to a brace that goes down the middle so I cannot have a good size Sump/Fuge unless I do some serious modifying. So instead I need a different tank for the Sump and a different tank for the Fuge, This is a setup of how I want to make it...
