Just a quick question for the experts. Does it hurt to set it up when you first set up a tank.Should one still only use 1/3 the container as stated on the instruction or should more be used in the beginning. Whats everyone opinion on this. I alway like to ask questions on equipment or chemicals...

Can someone suggest maybe which Milliporas are good for a SPs dominanted tank. As some have seen from my new setup most corals are Acros so something different would be nice. MINIATUS :hallo:

To put it bluntly Im not happy with heat issues with My SE new lamps. I just picked up the new Icecap DE pendants but need to figure what would be the best bulb for them. Im curious about 14ks and would that eliminate running Actinics. 20 k is way to dull and blue. Or should I stick with...
