    I am looking at doing a mixed reef tank. My main concern is that i want to keep SPS. Along with the SPS i want zoas, mushrooms, LPS, micros, acans and some leathers. Will they all get along?

    would 2 x 400 halides be too much light for a 75g mixed reef tank?
  18. General Reef Discussion
    ok this whole time i thought i hd 250watt mh ( what the guy told me when i bought the setup) turns out they are only 175watt mh. Well my question is that will it be enough lightiing for a mixed reef tank it is a 75g the lights sit about 4 to 5 inches off the water.

    Ok, I'm taking a poll About RTN (rapid tissue necrosis). I recently read that there is some evidence that RTN can be linked to mixed reef tanks (SPS and softies), but that skimming and carbon may help reduce the risk of RTN. So I'm asking those who may have experianced RTN questions about it.
