thanks CA2OR

Looking to purchase and AC Jr and a Ecotech Vortech powerhead 20/or 40. If you are wanting to part with them please send a PM.

Love the foot.. strange as that might sound.(whistle)

Visio is sold by Costco.

I picked one of these up for my mother and father in-law for xmas and it is a good TV for the price. My son has had one for 3 years now and has not had any issues out of it.

If you get a universal remote you might have problems finding the remote codes but other than that I have had no issues with ours. Also Visio guarantees no dead pixels. (rock2)

Welcome, as you may or may not know this place is awesome. People are always willing to help and answer any questions you might have. Keep us updated on the development of your tank..

FYI – people here love pictures (whistle)

Microsoft Front Page is easy Software to use.

Gratz on the lighting lets see some pics now (drooler)

Welcome... post some pics when you get them. People in these parts live off of pics.

Congratulations!

I don’t see myself upgrading this tank anytime soon.

As far as what I need. I am not sure DOH! . My initial thoughts are lighting, pumps, fans, skimmer, and power heads and monitor temp, ect. This is going to be my first attempt at SPS coral and maybe one small clam so I want to set this system up right and make sure I have all the necessary items to make this successful and not just put a tank together just to say I have one.

Thanks again for all your feedback and time.

I have pre ordered a cad light pro tank. I am looking to put a controller / monitor on this tank I don’t have any experience with them so I thought I would get your opinions / recommendations.

I have taken a look at the Reef keeper and the AC Jr. and they both look good however not knowing anything about them I don’t want to purchase one just to find out I overlooked one important fact about the unit.

Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts

Good day,

I have been looking into a new tank and ran across this M-Tank by Finnex. I was wondering what the board members thoughts where on this tank or if anyone has one up and running.

Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the club.

Are you running SE or HQI and what spectrum bulb? Do you like your Electronic Ballast or would you stick with a Magnetic?

Mike

My first choice is Radium my second choice would be XM.

I also think I'm leaning towards the 15k spectrum.

I have not purchased any MH’s as of yet. My tank is a 65G (36Lx24Hx18D) I was originally going to put 1 250MH and run 2x 36” T5s but the more I think about it I think I’m going to run 2x250MH and 2 to 4 T5s.

With that being said I have been eyeing the following.

Please note I’m still going back and forth as to going HQI or SE and if I should go Pulse or Electronic.

I am interested as well. If their is any left do you mind if prada picks it up for me?

Thanks Pippa and Prada

Happy B-Day Stacy

Sorry Trigger I was trying to view this at work and did not realize that I had recieved an email stating the internal network was having problems so i thought the like was broke.

My bad.

Mike

Mike

I will be coming from the Hillsboro / Aloha area. If anyone would like to carpool send me a PM and we can work out the details.

Mike

Thanks Andy I will look into Sunlight Supply.

Mike

Ok I have been looking around and it appears that a few manufactures make the Luminarc reflectors. Is one better than others (I understand that this is probable a matter of opinion) but still worth asking. The main reason I ask is I have seen some web sites state “Don’t be fooled by cheap China reflectors” This got me wondering if all Luminarc reflectors are the same or is this a marketing scheme. Anyhow after thinking about this for awhile I thought I would ask some local people.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
