Yes, still in SD.

I heard he was going to 120 betta's each in its own seperate 1-gal bowl.

LordNikon, Yes, I have been away for quite some time. Sold all my aquariums when I moved New Years day of 2004 and have yet to get back into the hobby. But as you can tell by my reappearance, thinking about putting together a small reef tank.

I used to run dual sunburst...and I really liked them. I did not use any other lighting in conjunction. The will start off more on the blue side, but will leave once they burn in.

nofriendsbz3, Here is the setup of my past 60g.

Hey GT, did you move? Noticed your profiles says you are in New Hampshire.

Im sure it isnt from a fish bite. I have fed a blue linkia to a pair of harlequin shrimp and I had to use a prety good size wire cutting tool to cut off a leg of the linkia.

just keep doing water changes..the bigger the better..and as frequently as you can.

I bet the bulbs have yet to burn in. But you may want to try the 12k Sunburst. The Sunburst looked great with no actinics needed.

I used to have a hang on red sea berlin turbo on my 120 FOWLR. It seemed to work ok, until the day I also installed a AquaC Remora Pro on the same tank. Had both of them running and after that day, the Red Sea never did pull out anything.

you can always scrape it off.

I would check out the new quiet one pumps. I purchased one for my 60 as the return pump and very very quiet and little heat transfer.

Your probably going to get mixed reviews about emerald crabs. The one I had loved to trim my xenia for me, but it never bothered any fish or shrimp, that I was aware of.

On another note, I would make sure the overflow intake pipe going to the sump ends below the water line. This way there is no water splashing noise. I would also use a 100 micron sock attached to that pipe to act as your mechanical filtration.
