Just cruising around Ebay. These seem pretty interesteing, if they actually provide a true "shimmer effect." Aquarium Reef LED Lamp 20W 14000K White 150W Metal Halide Alternative Light | eBay Any opinon on these, and how many would anyone recommend on a 90gal? Also looking at this one...

Looks good. Guess the 4 HO T5s aren't going to be enough. How much is the controller?

Looks great. I guess what i an really trying to figure out is how much is enough for my tank. How many Watts of ho t5s, how many Watts of pl's, or of leds?

I am interested in converting my 90gallon fowlr tank into potentially a reef tank. I have been shopping around and have become thoroughly confused. Would 260watts of PL lighting work? What about 216watts on a quad ho T5s? What about LEDs, i saw one that is 3300 lumens (46 daylights and 8...

Will I need some "seed rock," or will the rock still be alive?

I broke down a tank for a friend who was thinking about setting it up in a couple weeks in a different location. I kept the live rock in a tub with a heater and powerhead. She changed her mind, and said she was going to freshwater. The tub went outside, and the pump and heater came out. A month...

Well she had a 55 gallon set up after she bought the place. Things seemed fine until she painted the stairway going upstairs with petroleum based paint, then lost all the fish other than the damsels (of course). I found a used 90 gallon with glass lids that she wants to try. Hard talking her out...

Any opinions on putting a fowlr tank in a beauty salon. I am friends with the owner and she wants to have one for the customers to enjoy. They cut and style hair, do nails, tanning, etc. just wondering if I am opening a can of worms installing and maintaining this with the possibility of...

Thanks. The trigger went back to the lfs. The butterfly has settled in and is out and about. I told her she needed to consult me first b4 purchases. Now just hoping the lion eventually takes care of her "damsel troubles." Lol

Sorry this was so long. Any ideas?

Ok. My friend has a 55 gallon tank in her business that I helped her set up. She cycled with damsels, and now all seems good. She has started adding some fish to the fowlr tank, pearl scale butt, maroon clown, pink tail trigger, and a dwarf lion. Parameters seem good, anf I have been increasing...

Either 32watt or 40watt, don't remember.

I have a new 55 gallon fowlr tank that I am considering converting to a reef tank. Right now I just have 4 ft strip light on top. It runs two fluorescent tubes. Would it be enough light if I added another strip like this, or do i need a completely different lighting system for this tank? Thanks...

Thinking about a fox face. How dangerous are the spines?

Guess maybe I will go with a yellow tang. Like the blues, and really like moorish idols, but I am pretty sure that a 90 gallon is just not big enough.

I always thought tangs needed 5 feet of tank length. What about butterflies?

I have a 90 gallin fowlr with 100+ lbs of live rock and plenty if swimming space. I have a pair of perc clowns, a bangaii cardinal, 3 blue-green chromis, lawnmower blennie, and a royal gramma. Everyone us doing fine, but they are all small fish, the tank lacks a fish of size. I eventually would...

I have a 90 gallon fowlr tank. About a month or so back, I added two bangaii cardinals. Not long after adding them, one of them died (never seemed to eat). The other one is doing great now. I would love to add another one. Would this be a recipe for disaster? Would the one I have not accept the...

Thanks for checking. No luck, didn't eat last night, and died today. Definitely forgot to see him eat before I bought him. Guess I will remember that next time they get a shipment in at lfs.

I will feed tonite after lights out, and grab some live food tomorrow. Do I eventually start to offer non-live food at the same time as live food to get them trained?

Okay, so I added two bangaii cardinals to my 90 gallon fowlr tank about a week and a half ago. Both seemed pretty skittish at first, but lately the larger one reallt seems to be coming around. Neither of them has waten any flake food, so I got some frozen brine shrimp. The larger cardinal go...

I am planning on ordering a bottle soon. So much to do. The kids want more fish, I need to start adding a cuc, think I need to add more rock, whew!

Awesome. I eventually want one too!

Is 24/7 ok if I want it to be a pod factory, or do they need dark?

Cool, good to know they can get that low! Maybe I will keep doing weekly pwc's til I get it down or run out of money! How long should I light the fuge, and should it coincide or be the opposite of the main tank?
