Hey Keith,

There's no silicone lubricating any of the O-rings is there? Cause if there is, you're going to have to cut it all out and replace the O-rings.

You only need 4"-6" around the perimeter of the tank. Just make sure it's a pretty stiff insulating foam.

Since this tank is frameless, you'll want the center of the tank to "float". The reason being that, under pressure, the glass will push down against the floor support, with the floor support exerting...

I dunno, I sell them all for the same price. I suspect the price difference in wholesale is nickels and dimes.

Two XM 10k's and one XM 20k. They're pretty appealing to look at, but I suspect I'd much rather have had the Pheonix 14k's.

Go Pheonix for being ever so descriptive with their bulb packaging...

It's pure white. Much better than blue or black, IMO. Makes the tank look super bright and, according to guys on RC, is better at reflecting light than tinfoil.

In anycase, don't get me wrong, I see a place for cleaning crews in the hobby. Unfortunately, it's usually in tanks that have been set up poorly or cycling. Mature, well set up tanks rarely need...

The truth? There's two XM 10k's and a single XM 20k, all in 150 watt flavors; these are supported by two 65 watt actinics and two 65 watt 50/50's. Weekly 5 gallon water changes and a magnet every...

How's 14 medium (3-5") fish in a 150 gallon fed twice times a day PLUS massive daily zooplankton feedings for the coral? All this with no mechanical filtration and a cruddy Coralife Super Skimmer?

That's BS. More like one snail for every 10-15 gallons, pending on the severity of your algae problem. Truth be told though, you're probably better off getting a good magnet cleaner...
