I like small tanks. I have only done 10 and 15 gal reefs. Power compacts work fine for me. I would try them for a 10 gal. I don't use a filter. I just have...

How about retrofitting a 70W MH DE bulb into an inexpensive regent security light fixture? I got one done and it is so unbelievably bright! Tomoko [Non-text...
The light I have on my nano is a 65W Coralife Aqualight with a 50/50 bulb. It is attractive as well as bright. I have it up on the legs that you can buy for...
Just as an fyi you might want to take off that glass top, it will cut down your light spectrum greatly. ... 50/50 bulb. It is attractive as well as bright. I...

I am in the same quandry. I have a clown i have named "Lucky" just becasue he/she loves to jump into the overflow area. I cant imagine what would happen if i...
Of course you are using plastic screening! Even the galvanized stuff will rust! While it is true that UV will not get through glass- I wonder if that is a...
Uhm... well that begs the question: Do they bother to put UV coating on all glass tops? :P Otherwise, I should think the effect would be quite minimal. Call me...
To be honest with you I always had a glass top on top of my tank. Then my LFS told me to take it off, so I did. I could see the difference in about 3 weeks....
Actually plain glass does hold back UV with out any kind of coating. I have also kept lizards and snakes and years ago lizards were always having various...
The top of my tank is enclosed by the hood, so unless a fish or critter times it just right, and I mean just right, I guess he could jump though one of the...
Having a top on the tank prevents a lot of evaporation, too. (I could go into a discussion about equilibrium here, but... nevermind.) But even forgetting about...
I have a hood around mine to, well a canopy, and I guess that I can remove the glass if you say it will help, but I am really concerned about my Blue Carpet...
This was my experience in detail. I had a 180 reef with 1100 watts of vho. I took off the glasas and the colors on my corals got much better with in three...

John, I think you missed his first posts (or series of them) when he spoke of getting them from his "backyard" he doesn't mean literally off the ground, but...
You are right, just don't get caught. I don't know for sure, but I believe there are pretty strict regulations against taking from the reef if he is in the...
OK everyone, I could not do it. I wrote you guys about reefing a 35 gallon Hexagon. I couldn't do it. The tank I had to sell a couple years ago was a 120...
I have built one for mine and can send you the plans if you like. I have pics if you would like to see them that I can send you off line. It is basically 2X6...
