Thanks, I found the T-5's at a LFS today. I have to find some that will mount, or sit on top of my tank. Thanks for the input everyone.

does the t5 come in 24"

Tank is 48 gallons with a 30 gallon sump, but the sump is only about 1/3 to 1/2 full...so total volume around 60-64 gallons. No, I will not be using for drinking water.

I'd like to run the actinics before and after the MH's are on...

I have a cube tank that measures 24" x 24" x 20". Currently I'm running one 15,000K 250 Watt SE Halide in a PFO reflector (pendant) I would like to add some actinics to the setup, but I'm lacking a hood...and don't really want one. Does anyone have any suggestions for adding some actinics? thanks in advance.

I've got alot of noise coming from my drain. It is a 1 1/2" bulkhead...any tips on reducing the "gurgling" from the overflow drain? It seems like the noise is coming from the intake, not where the water drains into the sump.

Hey all, name's Isaac and I am new to the board...if you couldn't tell. I was having a discussion with Kirswaters, who mentioned Newberg has hard water. Does anyone know if the extra calcium and magnesium ions found in hard water is beneficial to reef tanks? an RO unit is next in line for me to purchase, if anyone has recommendations as to where I can get a good price on one, please let me know.

Thanks Steelhead...I'll give him a shout. Hope to meet some of you reefers at the upcoming meeting. cheers

any frags left? Have a new tank that is dying for some livestock. if not, I hope the move went great.
