    Ok, i have several large fish that seem like there starving! lol i feed them frozen brine, mysis, formula 1 2 and 3, But its hard on the pocket book. I recently bought some shrimp from the local store and gave some of that to them, they went nuts! Is this bad to give to them? What food does...

    Micro Bubbles from closed loop

    I think its due to the pipe size. A mag 24 has a 1' in and out rite? I may be wrong but there might be places in the pluming that are holding air. Try priming it again? did you use teflon tape on the cap? Put more? Hmmm http://www.futurepets.com/cgi-bin/fullpres.exe?PARTNUM=EUD2522

    T5 Penetration and overdrive

    hmmm, i thought the 4 footers would drive to about 80watts a piece on a 660. My wife talked to an icecap rep for the info.

    Metal Halide Ballast Decisions

    OK i like the icecap, but i run PFO HQI, so its a toss up, they both will do the job well and will last for decades. Also i will send pm. I have a pfo 250 hqi available.

    Couple questions about my new setup

    I added new show pieces to my display at a very slow rate, about 1/8 to 1. adding the new rock will be fine if you do it slow. Also make sure the rock is fully cured.

    They say 5watts per gall, but it depends on the coral's you plan on having. THe Color of the T-5's you will love! They have some sweet blues that make the corals POP!

    4- t-5's one 660 and 2 250HQI MH's IMHO. the 4 t-5s will kick but! you'll get about 80watts per t-5.......I have seen Big tanks with just t-5's for acro's and what ever.....Just keep them cool. I changed to all t-5's, i have 3-400MH's and 8 t-5's....Mmm you'll love the color.

    Couple questions about my new setup

    Cl is CLosed loop, If theres a budget for a CL i would do that rather then lots of powerheads, and you are correct on the other terms. How many GPh is your overflow?
