Calcium reactors?
I have to agree with everything that Darren said. Best part (besides awesome sps growth) is no more dosing of buffers and calcium additives. I was doing that every day before, now I just refill my...

LED's
I have heard talk of using LED's to light a reef tank, but that it is just to expensive. Does anybody know how expensive it could be? Say you wanted to replace a 250 watt MH, even if it cost $2000...

tomato clownfish stirring a mess
Hi Marco, an anemone would probably not do very well in your system, as you said. I have heard people using some soft corals as a surrogate host for your clown, namely Sarcophyton sp. otherwise known...

I know a few of you out there have SPS in their tanks that have grown enough to be touching/fighting with each other.

Hey Adam, try taking the smallest powerhead you have, (MJ 400) and put it up at the top of your tank. You could even stick it to the glass turned 90 degrees with the nozzle pointing up slightly to...

covering the tank
No cover.. it will be a big pain for all the reasons mentioned above.
Besides, you will only lose about 4 litres of water a day on a system the size of the one you are setting up. ;) just...

Hey Steve, I thought about doing it a while back, but from what I read you may have to let it cure for six months or so and I didn't want to wait ;)

who is running 250 watt, Iwasaki 6500K bulbs
It is the R bulb, I don't know for sure, but I think that the non-R is not as white in color. It may have some other arguments against it as well.
The ballast is model AQI-250, I think it may be MH.

I saw Steve's stand tonite and it looks pretty cool. I think if you have the means, a welded internal frame is the way to go. (like Steve's)
