I would definitely recommend the MH for the 30 gallon. That footprint is great for a DE 250.

Short of getting PC's, they aren't really that much more expensive than other equivalent options.

I wouldn't even say comparable. For the price/size/performance, its hard to find something better.

I do have to say one thing though, this skimmer isn't as easy to set and forget as some of the...

I just switched out an older model RS-80 skimmer for a BM 160 and the comparison isn't even fair. I know, with the price and the size of tank that they are rated for, one would hope it would be...

Sea in the City is what I would recommend. It doesn't have the most fish, but it has the best and most healthy frags, whether they be SPS, LPS, or softies.

In the end, they're crabs. If they figure out they can eat something, they will eat that said thing. I wouldn't risk it, as they are even more risky than hermits.

How DARE you start a thread about a huge cube tank a few minutes from me, state all of the nice equipment you are planning on using, and then go out of the country for a few months.

I had a 55 Gallon and changed to a 50 gallon 24x24x20 Cube and I absolutely love it. Yes, the fish choices are kind of limited as opposed to a longer tank, but the aquascaping ability is WELL worth...

Yeah, not yet. Those Germans might know how to engineer some nice machinery but I'll be damned if they can read a Calendar.

How long is the tank? If its the same length as a t-5 bulb, I would definitely go with a t-5 set up. If you want the shimmer, do a t-5 and MH set up.

As for the 400Watters, it depends on what you...

1. The heat issue is really sort of a myth. The fact is, T-5's put out more heat than MH's do, per watt. However, that extra amount of heat is really insignificant as its at most a few %'s more. What...
