not for nothing, a light that once worked perfectly fine should be repairable correct????? i mean, everything is replacable.....i dont understand what takes so long. if by next Wednesday i dont have some answers, i will have to take some sort of action. (no machete) lol

they say that it is in the process of being repaired. doesnt take 4 weeks to repair wires. just aggrevating.

i bought my setup used from my lfs. came with the tank, stand, lighting, sump and skimmer with pumps. when they came to install, the lighting wasnt working properly. 1 out of the 3 lights worked fine, one was very weak and constantly flickering, and one worked fine but after 5 minutes would...

First things first, Rkaragozler is the man!!!! he came by last night and helped me out with a couple of things and explained how other things work and operate. went into extreme detail. Def. a stand up guy and a huge asset to this community. secondly, here are my parameters from the water...

Get the skimmer up and running immediately. Not sure how to do this Gradually remove the bioballs. You do not want to use them. Use the space in the sump for additional media filters (like the TLF Phosban reactor filled with activated carbon). just googled this, not sure if that thing will fit...

^ yea i realised after i posted. i thought you were being a wise ass. my apologies. lol

so i should remove the bio balls in the future or now? do i leave the filter at the top and the filter at the pump and just completely eliminate the balls? once i have all of my rock in and the tanks parameters are good, i want to start adding coral.
