Drifty

I got the wire initially with my icecap ballasts(no longer use) the new stuff I got from an electrician. You should be able to get it from an electrical store

t5 wiring for speed I cant get a decent shot of the endcaps, but they attach the same way as the ballasts do.

growth is good, havent much to compare to as I have only ever used t5

lol just started heating the water in the new pool, 400,000l will make quite some gas bill I am sure

Updated photo, not a great one butu get the idea of how the tank is coming along

$255 last month

$230 last month, 1 reef tank, 2 adults, 2 kids, gas bottle water heating. Go the heat pump and good insulation

Its a red sea sailfin tang, nice fish very peaceful

Hey charles, tank is going ok. I am happy with the ballasts, 6 bulbs put off plenty of light. I will try to get some photos later today

nice tanks

I have always cycled my tank with the sand in it.

If your planning on having a reef with metal halides you will need both a chiller and a heater, if you run t5's you only need a heater.

you can try manual removal, or if your tank is big enough and you can keep one you can try a sailfin tang. I have heard sailfins eat it but its not a definate answer as some might eat it and some might not

sounds like bubble algae

wow they are cool, nice video.
