    Ty for the info. My LFS is recommending like 48 snails and about the same for hermit crabs for my tank and 2 or 3 shrimp. Whatcha think? I have what I'd say is a moderate amount of brown algae and the begining of hair algae. Soon as I figure out what program to shrink my photos i'll post a few.

    I have the Super Squirt model. If what you say is true, seems like I would be wasting what the pump can do. Any suggestions on what pump and GPH? Right now I plan to start with softies but I want to keep SPS down the road I hope.

    Pods In Sump

I guess I'm really asking what type of filter material would be the best to allow the most pods thru. I have a drawer...

    MH pendants on top of canopy?

    I have an oak canopy with 12" clearance inside it. I have 2 reef optix III MH pendants. If I mount them inside it only gives me like 7" clearance from bottom of glass to top of acrylic tank. That would be to close and cause heat problems right? MH are 250watt DE 14k Pheonix. I was thinking about...

    Electrical Outlets?

    I just ran a dedicated 20 amp for circuit for my tank. I was afraid with all the lighting I want and equipment I need it would be to much on the circuit in that room. Don't quote me on this but I think most recommend not going over 80% of total load on a circuit. So when adding up all your...
