Les-I agree with downdeep. I've got 2-175W Ushio 10K's and 2-110W actinic's an my 75. It looks great. You can get the at Champion for $69.00.

HERE HERE, those guys are trying to rip you off! Buy your lighting on-line. The places that Mariner suggest have good prices. An Icecap 660 powers many combination of VHO lamps. With 4-110W VHO bulbs and you could keep most anything in a 55. But ultimately you would probably wish you had...

Ok, it's time that this post dies. I going below...... Louey

Get a Lifereef. You'll be glad you did. They come with a 5 year warranty. The craftmanship is second to none. I have to empty my cup every two or three days. I might could wait awhile longer, but who wants that nasty stinking stuff hanging around anyway? Louey

I ignored this topic for a week. Seemed like such a boring topic. But after the post lasted a week and got 12 replies...I had to look. lmao!!! You guys and gals are hysterical. "prefer a large one" and "sprayed my face". hahahahaha But anyway. Mine is a 100GPD. It doesn't "put out"...

If they live long enough to eradicate green hair algea it will be money well spent. I know I would sacrifice a few. Keep us posted! Louey

I couln't find anyone to make my an acrylic 20G high here in Fort Myers either. I finally went with a standard glass tank. I fould a local glass and mirror shop that drilled it for me. It worked out ok and I only spent $50 for the tank and the hole. Jeff @ Lifereef would gladly make you a...

I recently ordered a combination of snails from Premium Aquatics. I have seen the Trocus eat green hair algea. . I ordered Trocus, Margarita, Nassirius, and Baha. I already had Astrea's and Turbo's. They seem to be doing a good job. They have plenty of other detritivore's as well. Louey

Very nice! What kind of filtration do you use on your FO? The decorations look remarkably clean! Good job! Louey

Bummer man.. It really sucks when something that you mail order comes in wrong. After all the wait and anticipation that you spent your good money on. Hope they rectify the problem for you. I just added MH/VHO to my tank after a year and a half with just VHO's. What a difference. I love...

Wow, this is an informative post. I've had my powerheads on a wave timer for over a year. Alternating patterns 24/7. I recently put it on a timer opposite of the tank lights. I thought I remember reading that there was some benefit to having "calm seas" at night. Now I will follow this post...

I also just got a VS24 about 2 weeks ago. It is outpreforming my old Aquaclear Aquatic skimmer 20:1. What a piece of juck that thing was. I told Jeff (Lifereef) that I want to upgrade my tank to a 2 or 3 hundred gallon in a couple of years and I believe he said the VS24 could handle it. You...

Beautiful! What is the depth of your tank? (from back to front) Louey [ March 02, 2002: Message edited by: louey louey ]</p>

Tangirl-I just started using bionic for calcium and alk. Levels are easily maintained. It's just a 75G tank. Would Kalk really help? Seems like I read that the blue tuxedo urchins strip the rock including coraline. Is this true? Are there any other downside to tuxedo's? Thanks for all the...
