which 400w halide for sps/lps

[Anonymous]

I'm going to setup the reeftank again, it's been FOLR for 4 years

we started with a big water change to get thing stable, I think I'm going to remove all the SAND, I've got big tubs to move everything into


I'm in need of a new 400w halide bulb, I've got a reflector and ballast, one end will be high light, the other lower light

sugestions? I need a good do it all bulb, thinking 20kish, we will be keeping montipora only, maybe a stag or two, but mostly monties


I am also in need of calcium, I'm undecided, reactor or kalk stir, I've got the co2 setup already, but no reactor sized for the tank

thoughts on calcium/alk ?



One last upgrade, I need a new skimmer, I'm thinking recirculation for the sps, sugestions on what will fit under a 75g AGA stand? Price is a concern, buying a lot of stuff at once

I'm using the classic Radium 20Ks again. They're working out great. If you want to pony up, I liked the Aquaconnect 14Ks. It's just too expensive

That's what I'm running now. By far my favorite MH lamp that Ive' tried. They are very pricey though.

how are the hamilton 14k's on regular cap/coil ballasts?

I think I'm gonna setup my HSA1000 on the tank so I dont have to buy anything, I dont want to drill so I'm just gonna pvc & prime the blueline 55 and hope it does not cavitate too bad

so all I really gotta do is buy some pvc and a bulb, and I should be good to go for some coral
