I have a 190g reef, which is fairly empty, but will house primarily SPS, but others as well. Ok, so Ive been debating this lately... Which would you choose? 1) A PFO Magnetic 2x250w ballast. Its been in use since around april, so its pretty dang new. The unfortunate thing about the ballast...

I've poked around local forums for info, but no one has a good enough answer for me I guess. I am upgrading to a 180 starphire, eurobraced tank and I want to go with halides. I use T5HO on my 90 and get good growth and color, but I want to tinker and play around with different options. I...

I was wondering if anyone has a nice picture of a SPS tank under t5 lighting. Is there such a thing?? All the ones I have seen are dulll brown. without much color.

Hey all, I have a 29 gallon SPS reef that I have been running a 150 w PFO mini pendant with PFO HQI ballast. I have been running a Phoenix 14k bulb, and was pretty happy with it. However, I was looking to get more color out of my corals. After looking around at a lot of pictures and...

hey all, on my 29 gallon I am currently running a 150w phoenix 14k DE on a PFO hqi ballast and mini pendant. I just ordered a 150w reeflux 12k bulb because I have heard some great things about it. anyhow, my current bulb is about 7 months old. My question, do I need to raise my light up a...

OK - I have made up my mind. I am going to resurrect the 58G tank. I tried to sell it and I heard every story in the book why people cant buy it after they agreed to. It has to be a sign. Plus I have most of everything so it wont cost nearly as much as a larger new tank. SO! Here is what I...

Where do you have your metal halide ballasts? I have a PFO HQI ballast and it is large and heavy.

hey all, I am having some trouble with my 29 gallon. I have cyano bad. It started as a small patch. I blew it off and syphoned, and it came back stronger and worse. much more spread out. So, I did a really thorough cleaning. I scrubbed it off the rocks and syphned everything. it has come...

I'm in the process of building a 150gal reef tank. I'm working on the lighting fixture and the top cabinet. The question that I have is, is there a general rule on how high above the tank I should mount the lighting fixture. The fixture itself is 2- 250 watt mh, 10000k, with 2 48" vho super...

OK I know some of you thought it was sacrilege that I tore my 450-gallon system down. Numerous issues compiled and aided in the decision. First off was the system itself. I think anyone who builds their first dream system will tell you that a lot more thought went into building it than...

I am in the process of building a new tank. I love my 75gal, but want a new tank focusing on SPS. I have a 250W Mogul Halide with 2x48W T-5 supplement. When I build my new tank I would like to get rid of the T5's and perhaps upgrade to a 400W ballast/ bulb. My question is this...are actinic...

hey all, setting up a 29 gallon mixed reef that is sps dominant, maybe a couple clams. I have a 150 watt PFO HQi mini pendant that I realy like and would like to use. However, i am not sure it will do the trick. I had a 50 gallon with a single mogule 250 over with no supplemental lighting and...

Most conferences I am at a booth or BS'ing. So I have not had the chance to listen to many speakers in quite some time. I know more was said and hopefully others will chime in. But here are some of the things I picked up saturday. 1) While Dr Batten was a little to technical for me and others...
