I am bringing in a new 135gal tank to replace old scratched tank. I plan on using live sand. Any info or suggestions would be helpful. What kind sand? how deep? grain size? I've seen tanks with many small white starfish, is that from the sand? I run a reef tank with corals and fish, mostly soft...

Is it wrong to think I can use more than one sump tank if bulkheaded between them? I can't fit enough tank in the cabinet unless I use two smaller tanks. I figure 2 - 20g highs one with live rock, one refugium and skimmer. I have a 135g reef tank.

Cool!! Thanks I want a natural light look as if snorkling. I'm guessing 14k.

I need suggestions. I was planning on buying pendant fixtures.

I am seting up a new 135 gallon reef. I need advice on metal halide placement/color/type/brand/number/height... for a 6'x2'x18" 135 gallon tank. I plan to go with mostly soft corals. I know that MH may be a bit overkill but I enjoy the asthetic aspect. Also LED are to expensive for now.
