    175 or 250W over my 30g?

    You don't think that 250 will be too much for softies?

    175 or 250W over my 30g?

    I have a 30g tank, dims are 24W X 18D X 15H and I will be keeping mostly softies, LPS, and some clams. My question is what wattage of MH should I go with? 175 or 250? I'm a little concerned about heat issues with the 250 but the cost is just a little more than the 175. What would you do? The...

    Does live sand really speed up cycling time?

    I figured it might. It's kind of funny how the bag says add sand and you're ready for fish, no waiting. I added 20 lbs to my 30 and about 10 lbs of cured LR from my other tank and the second day the ammonia and nitrite is up.

    Question about power heads

    Huh, I never heard of a MJ 1000. I'd add the other PH also if you haven't already, you'll be happier with the the overall flow.

    Question about power heads

    Are you sure the PH you have is a Maxi Jet? You say it's a 1000, do you mean 1200? If it's a 1200 it's only pushing 300 gph which means that it should be fine. If anything, you might think about adding another.

    Will I screw things up by doing this?

    No, you're right. I think that I'll just cycle the tank and play it safe. Thanks for all the help guys!

    Will I screw things up by doing this?

    Not putting in any new rock, just the rock from the 12 which is fully cured.

    Will I screw things up by doing this?

    OK, If you were me what steps would you do? Would you give it a try or just start over with the 30g?

    Will I screw things up by doing this?

    I know I have asked this question here before but got a few different opinions about it. I have a small 12g eclipse with about 20 or so lbs of LR in it. The tank has been set up for 6 months and doing very well. My question is can I use the water, rock and a couple cups of my sand (to help seed...

    Mag 7 too small for a 125?

    Thanks man, I have 2 Koralia 4's for extra flow, just wasn't sure how affective the Mag would be.

    T5 Light Height?

    I think a lot of it also depends on if you're using SLR's (single light reflectors) These will make your light source a lot brighter than not having them.
