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

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

    I'm curious guys? Could i run 3 250w over my 210 and would that be sufficient to keep anything? Because i do have a few SPS (montipora) and a green slimer. If its okay i may just stick with the 3-250s. Also all of you guys that have single ended bulbs. Are they loud during start up? How about...

    Well i just placed two large orders through Reef hot spot and Reefer Madness. I should have some really awesome zoanthid colonies by this Weekend. I just hope they do alright. When you say reef maniac are you talking about reefer madness or this a totally different place?
