    20 or 29 Gallon reef start up. Lighting?

    Aqualight makes a nice clamp on single 150w MH that could do the job too.. Either way.. In a small tank like that, you def gotta watch heat..like the other man said.. But that could also be too much direct light for some soft corals.. You might possibly need to diffuse the light depending on the...

    Deep Sand Bed = Natural Nitrate Reduction

    I don't know.. But in my experience.. Too much substate is just asking for nitrate problems.. It's like a sponge for nitrates.. I had a sand bed similar thickness to yours.. But a few months ago I took of down to about and inch maybe less and it's one the best choices I've made for my reef...

    did a dumb thing...

    What do I need to start a frag tank

    Like some of the other folks said. you need to do some research into this stuff..probably by sitting down with a good book about it.

    HELP with Aquarium Lighting

    Octoman's 10 gallon FW junkyard

    I know this is a little late, but i looked at those fish n flush things! They're pretty crazy! The site said they were on back order too; you can even get one. So either alot of people have already got em or maybe they stopped making them.
