    Can't get new ballast to fire

    Posted this a couple other places also but here goes- I just recently purchased a couple SLS Tek T5 retro-kits, one came with a Workhorse ballast and the other came with a Advance Centium ballast.

    Remora+Mag3 against back of tank

    I adjusted the knobs on the bottom of my remora to where my mag 3 inside the tank is about 1/8" away from the tank but it still looks like it could be bumped and end up touching the glass since it just kind of dangles there. I don't have my tank filled up so i haven't turned my mag3 on yet. I...

    That's cool, so you're out at the coal fire plant that I hear about? I hear they pay pretty decent wages out there and that you guys work your butts off. Congo: I REALLY wish I had my 125 still but I had to get rid of it because I was moving out of my 2nd story apartment (yes the floor was...

But anyhow, the CURRENT tank includes: 55 Gallon w/...

    Best LFS?

    What are the best local fish stores in the tricities and surrounding areas? I've been to Aquatropics and Amazon Bay but their selections aren't always the greatest. Thanks!

    crushed coral and sand ok?

    How do you like your sand bed? Do you have any nitrate problems, is it hard to clean, and how do burrowing fish do in it? I'd like to get a jawfish or something of the sort. Just looking for what advantages and disadvantages you have noticed by having a mixed substrate. Very interesting...
