    Thanks you guys! I guess it's off to Home Depot of Lowe's this weekend! I'm going to put some of small pieces of live rock. Should I put some of the sand as well?

    Lighting for refugium

    I wanted to have microalgae there. I'll have some live rock as well. Does it make a difference which clamp on fixture I use? I think i had one for a red eared turtle several years ago. These are acutally energy efficient?

    Lighting for refugium

    I am trying to make sure I do this as cost effective as possible so that my electric bill doesn't blow up. Won't I need different bulbs like my display tank? How long are lights typically on for the refugium?

    I have a 28 gallon sump/refugium. At least it will be a refugium soon. Just curious, what type of lighting do you have set up for your refugium?

    48" T5 retrofit suggestions

    I decided to incorporate my canopy and get 48" T5 4X54 retrofit for my 80gal. Some have recommended either a Wave Point or Sunlight Supply. One LFS is selling the Wave Point for $289. I walked into another LFS and they use Hamilton retrofits for all their canopy tanks. If they order it, it...

    1st T5 light purchase advice

    I finally have my son's 80gal set up. This is our first tank with live rock and sump. Livestock are finally getting settled. We are really excited about the opportunity to have a tank with corals. We just need lights. From everything I've read from others, it's better to go with a T5 with a...

    When is it okay to add fish or livestock to a new tank?

    Thansk for the links. I browsed it a bit. I forgot to mention that I had about four tiny snails that were in the garf grunge I used. I think they may have died off during the initial seven days of cycling. I should have checked levels in between. Hopefully, they helped accelerate my process...
