    Power heads?

    Tifoez, I believe what you're looking for is the VorTech quiet drive pumps. 2 or 3 mp10's would probably give you sufficient flow as they are adjustable and quite effective if you Hooke them up together on a wave maker

    +1 Becky It's not an easy repair, and even if you do get a good seal, I would be worried about the stability of the tank

    Reef livestock timing

    Alright... So this is a loaded question as we don't have many details yet. What's your lighting look like? Flow? Readings? What kind of test kits are you using and how old are they? How big is your tank? If you can supply that info, we can all have a better understanding of what's going on :)

    Just saying hello

    Welcome to Living Reefs! Tank looks great! I don't thing the lights will be overkill, just acclimate any corals you add slowly. Start at the bottom and work your way up. Don't want to put them through light shock

    Power heads?

    Again, going to come down to price and plan. If you're looking at eventually keeping SPS, then you'll need to look into getting higher rated power heads. Decide what you'd like, then look at the pros and cons of each and make a plan. OP, Basically, my rule of thumb is that you want 2 to 3...

    8k vs 10k vs 15k

    Can anyone explain the difference between the three light ratings? Basically, I understand the blue spectrum becomes a little more prevalent as the rating gets higher. But in regards to coral growth vs show lighting, any preferences/proven knowledge that you guys would be able to pass on? I'd...

    Lighting Issue! Need advice!!

    Hey guys. I have a question for all you lighting experts out there. I recently aquired a 120 gallon tall tank (48L x 18D x 32T). I want to turn this into a reef, but with that kind of depth, keeping coral (softies, and lps and sps) is probably going to be an issue. Any suggestions?
