The 240 not setup, it s not even on the stand I paid to have build for it and as of now sense the stroke, I not remember the guys phone number and as well as strange as it might seem, I can remember at this time were he lives, and his not calling me as well. perhaps I can hang onto the skimmer...

Im sorry, Im comfused too where I should had post this. Date of minor stroke 5/02/2010 Date I began this message 5/27/2010 Due to the minor stroke, I knowingly began this message knowing it would take me a long while to complete it, while each time reviewing this message, I was editing it due...

I will begin saving for these right after the start of 2010. Im a new problem to solve, James the aquarium guy who will be rebuilding my 240 (SPS system) and 40 gal breeder QT, has told me he couldn't guarantee that in doing for me a closed loop system, that the tank wouldn't crack. Now I...

New main return pump(s) idea A little update on my aquarium man who pick out what my MH reflectors would be in which all disagreed with it due to his lighting idea by having only three 250 watt MH, rather then four, that I figured on from day one of on the beginning planning of this SPS system...

Here we have the next topic for the rebuilding of my 240 gal reef tank, something that came up when i ask my aquarium man on what other equipment should I be looking for, and the equipment part he mention is a U.V. Sterilizer. Now the tank is 240 gals and the sump will be a 125 gals, im...

I hope the idea for better eflectors would make the adjustment required for my goal. In the lighting, there were not so much in assistance on it, but one is reached. I hope this decision now reach will be well enough suited for my goal. Also, the SPS corals that require stronger lighting, will...

Ben, im not sure myself to what is what with everything, but I feel that for sure that I will require four 250 Watt DE MH, its always been said that one 250 W MH is good for a 2'x2', and the tank is 8' L. Im guessing that I just send what I have here between two lines to James on my possible...

Ben, the last thing you said on the MH is I would have just three 250 Watts DE MH, and I believe to still with the idea of four from the very beginning of the idea for this system some ten years ago. I would have to believe that James my aquarium guy, should understand what your talking about...

Where are there any Custom Design Aquarium stand/canopy builders in NC area? Anyone know of any Custom Design Aquarium stand and canopy builders in the NC area, as close to Durham area would be more preferable. The reason for this question is, my aquarium man James, he called for the first...

I found that using two HI-S DI cartridges, comparing to two DI cartridges I have far greater water quality and the difference in price is only $14 more for HI-S DI cartridges, it does give me peace of mind. The water were I now live, is the worst i ever seen, and upon making ready the reef...

When I think of it ben on only three 250 watt MH, it seems to me that its with risk, being that is that it would also depend on how the canopy is build in the first place. I have to feel that being that were no idea to how it will turn out, I rather go with having 4x250 watt DE MH. I mean, how...

Ben, im a idea, why don`t you email me the complete specs and links on everything down to reflecters and sockets. Also how mit should be mounted in the canopy and I will send it to James my aquarium person. the stand and canopy is to be build down in Fla. somewhere. Also if you can provided...

What I figured was, I not understood what his full suggestion was, for I was lost however because he failed to email me links on everything. Also, I never used anything like this before, MH or T5`s And if the reflectors gary listed in his suggestion is very good, could you get me a link for...
