As I have been gone for a few years, just set up another tank, and have recently been thinking of my good friend Tom, I'd like to bring up a topic he and I discussed long ago, but never received a satisfactory answer to. Anyone who is a diver knows that colors/wavelengths are filtered out of...

Hello All, I currently have a 72" Hamilton Cebu fixture that houses 3x250W Hamilton 14K MH, 4x60" T5 HO, and very dim blue LED's over my 180 DT. I would like to add more blue to my tank but don't want to give up the growth as my tank is about 6 months old with lots of small SPS frags. I've...

Hi all! I'm in the process of doing a tank upgrade and it's time to deal with the back of the tank. My wife wants me to paint it blue like my old one but I want to do it black. She thinks black will make it look to dark. If I was able to get to the back of the tank I would just use a rap but...

I have a 75g I am setting up. I will be building the lights myself so the sky is the limit. I want to be able to put anything in the tank (sps, lps, softies, etc) not necessarily all at the same time. I just don't want to spend the money to build it to then be limited later. I will be using...
