I went through a couple of waves of algae bloom while my tank was cycling, the worst coming at about the same age as your tank is now. The source of organics is probably some die-off from the LR,...

My Mag is submerged. There was a foam pad with it but it had a sticky back. I was reluctant to use it since I didn't know if something toxic would leach out of the glue into the tank. For now I have...

My Mag 12 is a bit noisy, but my aquarium is on a hardwood floor in the corner of the room. I'm told it would be a lot worse if I had anything else! With 90 gallons of water I'm not moving it soon,...

I don't have a canopy, just a glass top. I've had a couple of different opinions from the LFSs as to whether to put the MH on the glass top or not, but I think it makes more sense to hang it over the...

Thanks Brad. And to follow-up- I was looking at a PFO pendant with a 10000K spectrum 250W bulb. Any comments on this- I'm thinking of picking one up when I'm in Vancouver this weekend.

I don't 'really need' one either, but I only have one tank so far! I need to set up a quarantine tank before too long so I defintely would take it off your hands if teevee isn't given dibs.
