    New 72gal BF Reef Tank Setup Questions.

    I do want to at least have the option of SPS and other hard corals and if i'm going to spend 300 on PC i'd rather not be forced to upgrade later on. Everyone i've talked with has praised MH's and I always hear "if i started over i would have used MH's." On another point, I hear AquaC's are...

    New 72gal BF Reef Tank Setup Questions.

    OOPS, that was my fault. You are right I'm talking the actual coral not the LR.

    Hmm, how do you put a lighting canopy up without a glass cover and prevent your fish from jumping out of the water? Wouldn't the bulbs shatter if any water was splashed on them? The plastic pieces in my glass cover are at the seam where it folds and at the base where it attaches to the...

    New 72gal BF Reef Tank Setup Questions.

With that in mind I have recently purchased an All Glass 72 Gal BF with 1 built in overflow, a glass...
