Yesterday I was the recipient of some practically free, 'cause it didn't cost me anything, lights. This a 10k mogul 175w MH that came from Ed Holland. It even came in a lovely reflector ready to go into my hood, whenever I get around to it.
Right here

Thank you!
I'm excited for the day I'll be able to add in livestock. I'm thinking of doing both nano only fish, and maybe some fish that I eventually want to grow into going to the 230g. Marcingo, I'm going with 175w for now. If I find I need to upgrade to a 250w its just a matter of switching out the ballast. I personally have never run anything but 400w so I'll let you know how it goes! I plan to suppliment with PCs, probably 2x13" bulbs, and I want to try out this moonlight thing too. My original lighting plan was to do a 20,000k MH bulb, 2x white PCs, and then moonlights. Visually I like it when the lights are more on the blue side of things. With a 10K bulb I'll probably just use actinics instead of white PCs, or a 50/50s to get the blue color I'm looking for. I'm so hooked on setting up a new tank that I'm going to finish off the spray bars tonight and then put some dry rock in to test out the flow. Setting up a new tank is like getting addicted all over again! Last edited by michika; 04-16-2007 at 12:11 AM. Reason: Forgot to answer the whole question.

Looking good
I am just about to set up my large tank (90 gal) and I think the most fun is getting things/stuff/toys together. This will likely happen when school is out for me in 2 weeks. I will post some pics when I get around to it.
So are we going to see this cube and your new house in a future reef meet? I hope you have enough room for a large tank in your new place. Good luck on completing school. Laurence

I'm thinking I will probably have one last reef meet in our old house over the summer, after exams of course. Then maybe one in the new house, but we'll have to see since I haven't even started house hunting yet!

Wow, you have made some nice changes to that tank.
When I had originally set it up, I too was using a gurgle buster but I could not get it to stop "flushing". Looks like you may have solved my problem. I bet that tank is super quiet now. I cant wait to see this tank develope. I miss it already.

Outtafocus,
So far its pretty quiet. I'm pleased that there was relatively little work to be done. I loved how it arrived to me, kind of like a plug and play tank! I'm so excited to put stuff in the tank its getting out of hand. I already have a fish list for stuff I want to eventually put in the tank!
