    I'll be running 50+ times the flow with this tank so I should have surface movement :-) I know it comes with a 2yr warranty, and yeah with basic soldering leds can be replaced when needed. The main feature that sold me on this was the built in control-ability.

    Anemone feeding

    I have an RBTA and a Condy there are doing great and eating like champs. My questions is I have read that feeding silversides is not good and I've read that it is good. I been feeding 1 silverside a week to both of them. They seem fine and chow them down instantly should I stop feeding these...

    Yeah I'm definitely looking into investing in an Apex or similar controller.

    Thanks...yes the day will indeed come, since this setup will be our 2nd setup maybe when we do our 3rd setup I'll try kessils although my next setup I'm thinking nano (less than 10g) and a kessil would probably be an overkill on something like that.

    Right with an Apex they are controllable but since I don't have an Apex.... Yes it seems like they would offer something built in, but I guessing that's how they keep the price down, although I don't consider $399 cheap :frown: But I've read some good reviews with the setup I chose so as long as...

    nwreef 50 gallon

    I received my 50 gallon yesterday. The tank is from SC Aquariums it's a 50gal (24x24x20) Starfire glass PNP setup. The light setup I'll be running is a Lumentek Pro 120 by Reef Radiance. I'm also planning on running 2 Hydor Koralia Evolution 1500gph. powerheads. Still need to get...

    I looked hard at the Kessils but the fact they are not controllable is why I didn't go with them. Ultimately making the decision to do LED on this tank was heat issue from MH since I don't plan on running a chiller. I talked with my LFS and apparently they don't run chillers, I guess they use...

    Well I've decided on going LED for a number of issues. I saw a LUMENTEK PRO 120 by reef radiance for $279 free ship seems like a great deal. They had said it will grow anything I wanted in this tank.

    Sounds good....just need to figure out which route to take.

    Thank you both for your inputs. If I ran MH the bulb I was looking at was the Phoenix 14k and then run T5 for the actinics. Running a 250 watt on this tank (20" deep) could I grow SPS on the sand bed? Still deciding....to many stinking options!

    Hi All - I'm getting ready to setup a 50 gallon (24x24x20) I'm looking into Metal Halide options and honestly I'm a little overwhelmed. The tank will be mixed reef, but I want to be able to keep Maxima clams, nems, and SPS at some point. My question is I saw the tank mount Bimini sun by...

    apparently I'm not allowed to have shrimp anymore.

    First off awesome pics! However that sucks! We've been lucky with our peppermint shrimp. Our snowflake mowed one down but has left all the others alone.

    Hello

    Just wanted to say hello. My wife and I are getting ready to finally get something setup. We've always wanted to get into saltwater side of the aquarium hobby. We've been debating back and forth between acrylic or glass but finally decided on glass. Next decision is getting something...
