Are you manually dosing or are you using dosing pumps? Do you have a refugeium? If your overall goal is to keep your water parameters steady, i would recommend breaking out your dosing to smaller amounts a few times a day if you are manually dosing. This way the sways in water chemistry would...

Good guy. GLWS.

Try this one Ace Welding located at 8 Stevens St, Freeport, NY 11520. (516)623-4519. I go to their Flushing location. They're pretty good.

these guys are pretty good http://www.innovativelights.com/t5parts.html they're kind of like the florescent version of rapidled

Can you give the height and width of the light as well/ i'm looking for something I can gut to use the casing as a shell for an led build.

Highly recommended. Great guy.

Looking for a backup CO2 regulator preferably in Queens NY or Manhattan.

How old is the tank?

no prob, just make sure to get a clean solder. too much solder can burn out the leds.

I would recommend researching coral dipping with Potassium Permanganate. Its a stronger oxideser than peroxide. Be careful how muc you use though, big downside is that it momentarily stains the coral brown.

Wet skimming tends to take out the larger bits of and more organic matter from the water because the wet foam is raised higher in the skimmer. At the same time it tends to overflow more during feeding and it takes more water out of your system. I personally prefer wet skimming.

There is also a difference between a QT and a Hospital tank. I'm also assuming that they are talking about adding a sump to a QT system without connecting it to their main set up

Its really a matter of preference. If you have the space, some people prefer the use of a sump because it offers the same benefit as it would for your normal tank. For my QT tank for corals it allows me space to add a skimmer and Phos reactor. In the past, I've seen people use it because it...

I don't really see a beenfit of using a sump for a hospital tank though since you would need more medication for the added volume of water.

You can add a sump to a QT and hospital tanks. There are some people who have multiple QT tanks all connecting to 1 large sump.
