Workhorse ballast are hard on the startup and will shorten the life of your bulbs rather significantly. They will not overdrive HO T5's.

The IceCap 440 and 660 will naturally overdrive your bulbs....

Phosban Reactor (carbon or granular iron oxide) plus unmodified Euroreef (well, you can do the gate valve thing) will give you more than what you need for the type of reef tank you're planning.

That's a bit high, IMO. Like I said, to me, it's a $200-$250 fish.

Check it out:

I think the price tag on that site is a bit out of whack though. To me, this is a $200-$250 CAD fish.

Mechanical filtration is only good in the form of micron filter socks. Short of that, you're best to just avoid it and siphon off detritus as it accumulates.
