Reefhawk1 – I just love your avater, it is SOOoOoo adorable! I’ve been meaning to tell yeah everytime I seen it.

So hey thanks for the site, I’m have been totally checking it out. Hey $35 dollars extra a month you noticed on your power bill? I figured $10 maybe $ 20 but I guess hey, just enough to burn our apartments down regardless hey. Curious what everyone else has experianced with there power bill?

Well after seeing you guys tanks it made me what Bigger, BRIGHTER, MORE corals! Make my lil wee guy grow! Its you guys fault. Well that’s the story I’m telling my BF anyway.

Yeah DIY units, I’m not sure about. Can’t say I would know what I’m doing. So I think that’s why I thought of going with a already assembled unit.

I was thinking for the 77 gal I would start with dual 175w and figured that was all I would really need as long as I stayed away from SPS corals though, hey. But call me silly I’m into the softies lately. It will pass I’m sure then I will kick myself in the @ss.
