I have a 30" tall aquarium. Wet armpits sometimes occur and getting to the very back at the bottom is more difficult than not. But when you step back and look at it, wet armpits don't matter.

Not the same...150 is a little longer.

I made my 70W MHs with a halogen security light. Wish there was a reflector made for 70W MH specifically for aquariums.

I was also thinking that most people downplay the profit made on their corals. If you look into the livestock classifieds, you'll see SPS packs with maybe 8 1" and 2" frags going for $150 or so. ...

I'm surprised that no one has said anything, but your 2 shoplights for growing acropora are woefully inadequate. Probably ok for some soft coral, but don't expect huge growth rates and colour.

Use a razor blade and take off a layer of rock under the polyps. I found it gave me a higher survival rate and was very easy to reattach.

Great stuff. I wonder if the mating cycle of any species we keep is triggered by the addition of freshwater and lightning?

I have only one SW tank...I figure I would be better off making money on my one tank to help pay for it than having a display tank and not making anything, at least for awhile anyways.

2-K4 or 3-K3 in 75

Hi,

75 gallon aquarium. Mix of coral. Should I go with 3 koralia 3s, or 2 koralia 4s? The price difference between them is negligible.

Ground for WH7?

Where should I connect the ground from my plug to a workhorse 7 ballast? There is a wire from the plug, but not from the workhorse.

Plumbing my 75 gallon

I have an Oceanic E series stand and tank. I'm not sure if I can fit a 36" tank under it, but I really want to (anyone know?). If not, I would go for a 29 gallon.

I will not be running a skimmer...

T5 retro install

Can I attach the endcaps and reflectors directly to the top of a wooden canopy, or should I put risers under the lights?

Any other tips on putting one of these together?
