My 10yr old niece was struck by a car while riding her bike on Wednesday afternoon. She's ok, ended up with a broken...

    HO T-5's VS. PC

    is there a reason you want a Metal halide fixture? i would really steer you away from that. I would rather see you get a LED halide and T5 supplements if you really want a lot of light in the tank you can get a 6x 24watt T5 fixture. you can find such units with moon lights and mounting...

    HO T-5's VS. PC

    There are LED's units that are HQI (metal Halide) "equivalents" I'm using such units over my 40gal breeder and have had great results. most LED HQI equivalents "replicate" a 175 metal halide bulb. while using anywhere from 42watts to 55watts of power (vs the 175watt the conventional bulb would...

    HO T-5's VS. PC

    there are 70 watt HQI lights out there but i don't think it will be enough light for your tank. There is always an LED HQI solution for you to look in to. you'll pay a little more now but save $$ in the long run.

    LED lighting

    The Catalina light you linked in is not a suggested light for most reef tanks. It's marketed as a Freshwater or planted tank fixture. You can however use it in FOWLR applications. The two LED strips in this light put out the same amount of light as ONE of the "clustered" panels but spread over...

    Koralia with a wavemaker?

    I have a MP20 on my 40 breeder. for the amout of money you'll spend on a K1 Controllable system ($369.00 for the controllable K1 system and $299 for the vortech) you could save $70 and get a vortech. you'll have MORE flow than with the K1 system and you'll have less stuff in the tank thus...
