    I'm new here, but Senji definitely knows what he's talkin about, and honestly everyone on this sight are tons more knowledgable then I can hope to someday be. =) Definitely go in the direction he's pointing you to, because so far i've seen, none of these people here will steer you wrong. Good...

    DIY kits for LED's are definitely the cheapest way to go? What's the dims of the your tank? I got my LED strip from drfostersmith.com but I know there's plenty of others out there. I'm an "ebay wh**e" so I got my t5 lighting w/ built in timer from there. You can also find some good led kits on...

    Senji is absolutely right. I currently use t-5 and an LED strip so my total watts are around 7watts per gallon. But in the end I did end up spending around $350 total for the fixtures, and I totally avoided mh because of the heat they put out.  But LED's are amazing!!! And definitely get one...

    Oh forgot, if you don't know by now, just a tip, you should have about 4-6 watts per gallon, and thats what I would considerate "moderate" lighting for most of your corals. Probably around 8 or so watts per gallon for SPS and clams. Didn't know if you knew that or not. Maybe even consider...

    NOOOO!!!! I don't think you should go to petco and get lighting from them. Depending on what types of coral you want to have, they don't usually carry lighting good enough for that. I would go on ebay and search there first. Lighting will be one of the most important parts of your tank I've...

    Sounds like you're off to a great start as it is Brian, considering you've chosen to convert from fresh to salt. :) Once you get everything going and on the right track, it's soooooo addicting. I'm somewhat new to the saltwater hobby and to reeffrontier too, also converted from freshwater...
