    36" Nova Extreme Pro T5 or Maxspect LED G2-170 watt?

    Unfortunately I live in Canada and I can't get that light from a Canadian Website because they don't sell them so purchasing that would mean another hundred or so in shipping not even including import taxes...so I was wondering if the maxspect was a good buy.

This website says the recommended tank size for the koralia 750 is 30-50 gallons but does that just mean for 1 powerhead? or does that mean even if you have 2 this would be the recommended size? of both...

    Remove the filter? or leave it in?

    That sounds good then. The reason I wanted it out is because I hate how it looks in the tank and I hate cleaning it. If fit in my sump i guess i could put it in there?

    Remove the filter? or leave it in?

    Hello, I recently installed my sump about 2-3 days ago. The guy at my LFS told me that I should leave my old canister filter in my tank for about 2 weeks so that my sump will obtain a biological filter. Do I have to leave my old canister filter in there for that long or is it okay to take it...

    Low PH Problems - HELP!

    well I have the monitor so I just check it randomly...I get worried cause it drops to 7.6 sometimes and will only raise if I add the buffer.
