man does post here take long r something?
I have a 92 gal corner bow front, just added live rock and have temp bulbs in my strip hood. What do I need for new lights? I was looking at this one Current USA Sunpod 36" 300w Halide & Lunar System I don't like the price I never paid more than 100 for a strip so little sticker shock but if this light is was I should be aiming towards than I will buy also this tank has been up and running for 1 year, but had artifical rockwork in it. Water is great. How long to wait to add new animals? I am still real new to this game so my animals I will pick will be easy care. I also purchased the red sea wavemaker with 1 each of 1200,600,400,maxi-jets powerheads placement Ideas for this pie shape tank?? |

I found this place had the best prices and free shipping. http://www.aquarium-supply.biz/ I'm still waiting for delivery expected on Thurs, so YMMV. They also had decent prices for chillers, pumps, etc., so I may be a repeat customer if this transaction goes smoothly. Be careful of hood space. My hood only had 4.5" of space, so it limited my choices dramatically. --Kurt |

I`ve done it in all my tanks and went with DIYreef.com for all my parts. Dual 250MHs and dual actinics on my 90 and spent way less than a pre-manufactured light I have a 29, 65 and 90 reef and did the lighting on all with DIY parts and saved $$$ in the process. I do have canopies over all my tanks though and that can make the difference between DIY and premade |

Depending on what you're putting in the tank should determine what your
lighting needs are. If you plan on adding corals then yes you will need MH and Blue atinic, but if you plan on just live rock, then a Corallife Trichromatic and Blue atinic will do just fine. Figure out what you're doing with you tank, then buy what you need. I have a 92 gal corner bow front, just added live rock and have temp bulbs in my strip hood. What do I need for new lights?
