vho lights

Hi everyone, I am new to the salt water fish world. With that being said I have spent the last few months doing research and I think its safe to say that I am a some what educated novice. A friend of mine is giving me his old tank, but the thing is it has some problems. Its a 30 gallon tank...

Just wanted to post some pics of my tank and a full tank shot. My tank is a 125 gallon reef and has a 40 gallon refugium. I run 4 VHO lights, 2 super actinic and 2 50/50 bulbs. Any other questions just ask.

Hi, I'm Cassie. Ive been interested in saltwater aquariums since i was little. I finally took the plunge about 2 years ago without really any knowledge. I had a oceanic 55 Gal aquarium with fish and LR only. I used a canister filter and some blue lights (called marine glow). I bought the tank...

Just interested to see what people are running here. I run a PFO mini pendant with a 250w coralvue electronic ballast. Currently have an xm 10k but am thinking about switching to phoenix 14k eventually. I used to supplement with 2x75w vho actinics along with my halide, but got rid of those...

I am going to get a 72" Hamilton ProStar which has 3 250 Watt DE MH and VHO lights. I don't have the room to slide out a 72" piece of glass so Hamilton said they could ship it with two 36" pieces of glass. If I kept the pieces of glass pushed tightly together do you think I would have a problem...

Hello all. I am a newbie to saltwater, but have been doing freshwater for years. I have always wanted a reef tank, but never had the start-up funds. My boss is retiring, and willing to sell me his pimped-out freshwater setup. This system was designed to be converted into a saltwater tank. 90...

I was going to start a 180 gallon system; however I simply don't have the time for this project. I currently have my 29 gallon Nano that I am going to be keeping, but not the 180 gallon system. I will ship all items; however you will be responsible for shipping and handling charges. I will...

I need help from more "experienced" hobbyist to assist me in getting a game plan together on solving my hair algae problem. My signature line should have a link to my tank setup, lighting, critters, and filtration information. I've spent a lot of time reading, changing water (RO/DI), turning out...

Hopefully this is the right thread to be asking.... Ok, this is the 2nd salt tank I have done, the first was over 10years ago.... the tank is a 45tall (25x18x25) My thoughts are this for filtration and what not -Fluval 205 (already have) -Pentair Aquatics (Lifeguard #FB300) Fluidized bed...

Just curious how long some of you have been researching reef tanks online. I started after getting very bad info from a certain LFS over 10 years ago. I couldn't understand why I was having so many problems with my tank. I was told by the LFS that I could keep a clam under regular flourescent...

Hey everyone, Does anyone need a six-foot metal Halide light fixture? I really want to do the light rail thing in my fish room, but I was hoping to sell my lights to finance the new lights I would be buying. -Brian I bet these lights would look great over your new tank!? Come on you know you...

You who might offer your thoughts on this little issue or further update on a project for SPS corals QT. I had more views or suggestions when I needed to find myself other skimmers or ballast and when the project I seen had to change to a new direction because I not could use the 40 gal breeder...

Is this a lighting issue? Before and after pictures. The before is when I first put it in the tank (about 1 week ago), and the after is a picture I just snapped today.

I have a small favia frag(about the size of a golf ball) that has been in my tank for about 6 weeks now. During that time it has really lightened up in color and no longer seems interested in eating. The first few days it was putting out sweeper tentacles at night, but I have not seen any...

Matt, I think that Orange Monticap I got from you died in transport. I figured I would wait to see if it was going to do anything or just turn white like I figured it might and it did just that. In transport when I took it out of the bag it was a big ball of slime (which I had never seen...

Ok, so I finally got around to hooking up my ultralife floatswitch and top-off tank. It works great. However, I noticed when I plug it into an el cheapo power bar, I get a shock when I stick my hand in the tank. When I plug it into an outlet on my 400w backup, there is no shock from the water...
