    10k, 12k or 14k bulbs sps tank

    Lights I just changed my metal halides from 10K's to 20K's and I absolutely love the new look of the tank. And the corals love it as well. Now that I have the 20K's, I would never go back to the 10K lights.

    Calcium Reactors

    I am looking at buying a calcium reactor, but first of all, don't know which to buy for my 150 gallon reef tank, and secondly, I don't want to spend a lot of money for it. Is it a pain having to use a CO2 tank and such? Any brand suggestion and what else do I need other than the Calium...
