how old are these units?

A360W x2 it is thank you for the information everyone!

Cool, thank you guys for the information. I am going to go with the A360 just not sure if I should go with the wide or narrow version.

Good to know about the acclimation, Chichi what kind of acclimation did you use with your kessil? Also is 2 A150w enough for the tank dimensions I post or should I look at 2 a350n/w or a360n/w?

Interesting so lets say I didn't want to pay the 7+ hundred dollars to light my tank, and I wanted to get a kessil from the readings that I have seen is not to far off from the ecotech, but a little shallower not to 29" that is for sure. Would I be able to propagate corals and clams with out...

I don't know if this has been talked about before or not, but do PAR numbers actually relate to LED's it seems from the LEDs that I have researched (name brands) the PAR numbers are significantly lower than that of a halide. Yet they still produce the same amount of growth and in most cases...

I used a Aqua C remora HOB skimmer on my 46 gallon bowfront, when I had that setup. Now it is sitting in my shed with a new pump. Worked great when I had it running. My new tank is just a tad big for it. I'm not sure how well it would do at skimming a 180 lol. Just my 2 cents for you...

If your tank description is correct I would be taking the Naso back to be honest, that tank is not going to be big enough for it and will cause it stress and most likely will die. The hippo may be the same thing but some one else will chime in on this but for sure the Naso needs to go back...

I have a skimmer that came with my tank that I haven't added yet and I have had great results so far. But I did want to add it to the tank, the problem is the pump that came with that skimmer (mind you it is custom made) is horribly loud it is a old beast of a pump for a 2900 lph or lpm. I...

Hey again all, it's been since April since I posted on this tank had some life pressing matters that took a little bit more precedence. But now that things have settled down I am able to give my tank a little more affection. I have run skimmer-less since say one and am pleased to say all...

I have taken a couple fish on motorcycle, no problems just normal bagging and in the backpack. Quick ride home and they were fine no issues.

Finally!! The tank has finished cycling, took a little longer than I thought it was going to take, but no need to rush in this hobby. Been a couple weeks now since it finished and I added my first fish and corals from the old tank, my firefish goby was the first to go. He was very active...

Alright new update with pics, everything is running like a champ! The excitement after the exhausting set up process is finally setting in, I'll be out of town next week taking care of my grandmother so I guess it's a bonus I don't have to worry about starring at my cycling tank for a week :P.

Other than getting rid of the sand, is there any way to combat it I am going with a shallow sand bed so I currently only have 60lbs in there.

Alright the tank is filled had one little minor issue, while filling that the bulk on the right did leak but it was my fault. When I installed the durso's and screwed them in from the top I loosened the bulk head while tightening it down. So I pulled it and pre-tightened it before...

Taking a little bit longer than I thought to get this thing wet but family medical issues always come first. Now that it has calmed I was able to order the durso's, the powerheads, and the rock from brs. So it's getting close top being wet.

Filtered tap water?? Not RO?? The tank is pretty young yet, 20-40 is not too high but I would say continue with your weekly water changes things should begin to drop. Someone else may have some other ideas, there are quite a few posts about this in the forum, you may be able to gather some...

Any other information you could give on the tank (filter, tap water, sand bed depth, stock list etc...) there are so many things that could affect nitrates.

Ordered the return pump today, should be in tomorrow. I should have the plumbing and everything done thursday. Should be water ready beginning of next week when my durso's come in.
