I'm starting up my 63g.. building a reef...i was wondering what would be a better choice, two 250W Metal halides or 8-tube t5? I was wondering performance-wise, and also money-wise...the initial cost of the setup isn't important, but the cost that will add up from bulb replacement. Thanks.

Has anyone ever used a catalina aquarium product? I am considering buying a powerhead/water pump from them, but I don't know much about the quality. Thanks.

What do you guys recommend for buying uncured live rock on the net. I'm talking about a combination of price and quality...I'm not looking to buy terrible rock for super cheap, but I'm also not looking to buy the most expensive out there. I have a 63gallon that I'm starting, looking for for...

Where is the cheapest place to get t5 ballasts....i am planning on using four to six on my tank. Thanks

Where are some places you can get good deals on metal halide bulbs and ballasts? I'm slowly piecing together my reef tank, and i am trying to aquire metal halide without spending an arm and a leg...if that is possible. By the way, my tank is 63 gallons, so I am looking to get two MH bulbs over...

I am planning on upgrading my lighting to metal halide. I visited 1000bulbs.com, and they seem to have very good deals on ballasts and bulbs...i was wondering if anyone coulod tell me if the 175 watt ballast i am looking at would be acceptable, i would most likely buy two. also, what else would...

I have a prizm protein skimmer...the first few times i have run it, the collection cup has filled up with pretty much only water, no foam, and has done so in less than two hours. i reduced the flow rate dramatically, but to no avail. has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone have any...

I recently bought a 63 gallon saltwater tank. I have never had a saltwater tank before, but I have researched quite a bit lately. The tank I bought comes with a protein skimmer (prizm), heater, lights, and about 40 lbs of live rock and a one inch deep bed of sand. I havn't received the tank yet...

I'm starting up another tank...this is just a tiny one though. it's a 5 1/2 gal hex. I'm going to have a small ac filter on it, or maybe an internal one...anyway, i'm going to have java moss and riccia growing in there...any suggestions as to what fauna i should keep in it? all suggestions are...

Nice post...it was good reading, and I completely understand. It's like that with most jobs, people don't understand until they are put in the position themselves.

does anyone have any suggestions on how much light i will need to grow my riccia well in a 5 gal... i also have some java moss in there, but i know it's not picky...by the way, i have diy co2. thanks

will a blue gourami eat riccia? he's been munching, but I can't tell if he's eating the plant or trying to find stuff in it

i have several friends that have used this in their tanks...and i ahve seen many ghost knifes in these at lfs's...of course they would go through it!

my friend has had a tt500 on his 75g tank for about a year and a half or somewhere around there...he has had absolutely no problems with it and it keeps his fish in good health despite his laziness when it comes to water changes....i have an emperor 400 on my 55g mbuna tank, and i have no...

has anyone ever had one of these fish?i've read the info on here...but i was looking for some more personal experiences. thanks

i'm gonna have to say just about any strain of discus. i'm also a fan of many mbuna

okay, i remember reading a post that had to do with this before, but i forget what it said. i have several young mbunas and every now and then they will rub their side(s) on the crushed coral in the bottom, or on a rock. i thought maybe that meant the nitrate was high, but it was at zero. im...
