    Convict Tang doesn't look so good.

    I got my order from Reefer Madness yesterday and even after being lost for a day and getting it two days after shipping 75% of the zoas look like they will live. I have to check on the other 25% today but so far they all look good.

    250w or 400w?

    I'm going with HQI, and those are all single ended.

    250w or 400w?

    Well after talking it over with my LFS for quite a while i decided to go with 400s after all. We figured that with as much flow as i have in my tank and the tank being in the basement, and the controller to shut the lights off if the tempature gets too high. I could very easily run 20k 400w over...

    fishes are dying

    How old is your tank? Your tank may still be cycling. I would for sure do a 20% waterchange. THose levels you posted should all be at 0. Your salt level is okay, but everything else neds to be 0. Tell us more about your tank like do you have live rock? How much do you have? What type of...

    missing monti

    Keep it as high as possible. Thats my guess. Since it is a SPS it needs a considerable amount of light. If iwere you i would move it to where you want to and see how it does. You'll know within a couple of days if its doing good or not.

    250w or 400w?

    Well i know that HQI 250 have more PAR than a 400w single ended so maybe i could get away with 250s? The only reason i question the 400s is because if i do start to grow SPS i don't want to have to keep them all at the top of my tank. I would like to spread them out to different depths.

    Looking for a light system and i can't seem to find it

    The track idea is cool but i don't want to look that or have to go through the hassle of attaching that to the ceiling. Apprentice, you never mentioned what type of wattage you are running? I am going to talk to a few LFS around me and see what they suggest.

    When you start to stock your Zoa tank go check out Reefer madness. Its an online store and they have absolutely amazing colors!!

    250w or 400w?

    I think I am going to go with the 400w 20k system. For the price difference its not worh it to do 250s. They are only like a $300 less. I think the 250s would be nice but i run them now over my tank and i think that they just aren't strong enough. I mean a lot of my coral has browned out or...

    Looking for a light system and i can't seem to find it

    Well my tank does have a center brace. The only reason i am against teh pendants is because i want a sleek looking fixture. If i try to do what you say Brenden, it will end up looking like a P.O.S.! I can admit it only because i am sure of this.

    Herefishyfishy, That link you gave must be old because the links listed in there don't work for me.

    250w or 400w?

    Well i don't want to go 10k (too white) so i guess i should be okay.

    250w or 400w?

    Well if i can i want to do SPS here and their. Like right now i am growing a digitata and plating montipora and a green slimer. I basically started out with the easiest ones to see how they do and then after awhile i was going to expand my collection. When its all said and done i would like to...

    250w or 400w?

    Scooter, I got confused reading your post. Sorry for sounding like a newby but i don;t get you when you say PAR? I was planning on running either 20k or 14k bulbs if i went with 400s. My tank is 30" deep and is 24" wide.
