    My new 55 set up, advice please

    500w metal halide is a bit much on a 55 unless you plan on keeping shallow water acros and other extreme light demanding sps and even then might be a bit overkill. You'll surely bleach and possibly kill most softies unless placed under overhangs or out of the direct light. I use 440w vho on my...

    bedroom tank

    don't know about the remora but I have both the 150 and 180 with mag 7's and I can't tell it's running unless I look at it or touch it.

    which halides should I add to setup?

    I forgot to mention that if I went the 3x400 route I would go 15k bulbs and scrap the pc actinics. It was with the 3x250 that I would have kept the pc's.

    which halides should I add to setup?

    Just one more question. I have noticed that the price difference is only about $20 to go 3x400 vs 3x250. Would this actually be too much light or would I be fine? I had planned to run about 1200w anyway with the 750 or 800 halide and 4x96 pc's originally. Also which setup is more electric...

    which halides should I add to setup?

    Yeah I had planned on the se bulbs as they would save a bit of money I was just concerned with getting enough light for sps and clams without burning softies or zoos. Now my only project is how to aquascape my tank, have over 300lbs to work with but only plan to use 150-200. Anyone have any...

    which halides should I add to setup?

    Sounds good. I guess I'll go with 3x250 xm 15k's with decent reflectors (spider or luminarc) and try to recoup some cost by selling 4 or 6 of my pc's. Does anyone have any experience with the cooltouch ballast?

    I hope this is legal if not I apologize for linking. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3212&item=2360247615&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V is for 2x400 with no reflector or bulb for $230 shipped. add a reflector and bulbs would still come to around $400...

    which halides should I add to setup?

    Only thing is I already have the 4 actinics mounted in my canopy and would rather leave them. I would also consider the 15ks but have yet to see any par ratings or test results. I really like your tank pics those wouldnt be the 20k bulbs in there would it?

    I have a 100g 72x18x18 tank and want to keep everything from zoos and anemones to clams and sps in the future. I have decided on xm 10ks but dont know if I should use 2x400 or 2-3x250mh's. Placement of the corals will be bottom to middle of tank and supplement will be with 4x96w actinic pc's...
