Albert,

That is a whole other discussion and you will find many opinions on that topic. I personally use T5's (8-Lamp setup) over my 140G, but many like the MH's better. I think it is a matter of...

Albert,

Fluorescent tube lamps are identified by symbol & size, T5, T6, T8, etc.... The "T" obviously stands for "TUBE" style. "DTT" would mean "DOUBLE TWIN TUBE" like you see in fluorescent can...

Sand Q

Maybe a stupid question, but I cannot remember what is the "good" sand and what is the "bad" sand to use as substrate. I saw some very fine (like sugar) white silica sand (ashtray sand) and it looked...

BB Tank

External = Out of the sump or in a "dry" environment.
Internal = Submersed in the sump or "underwater".

Do you have a canister filter? Run one of those until you can replace your main pump.

refugiums are nice just because they help with nitrate control and also offer "creatures" introduced to the main tank as food reef or FOWLR! I don't believe wet/drys provide that.
