What wattage should metal halides be for the height of the tank. I have read articles that state 150 watt for 45cm or less 250 watt for 45cm to 60 cm 400 watt for more than 60cm Now are these recomendations for tanks that keep stoney corals and other things that need a lot of light or for all types of marine tanks.

both my brother and I have the cl280. We both run a 500l pump with no probs. Mine is very quiet and his was very noisy(in the same house at the time so we could compare), he took his back and it was replaced as it was faulty

I have a 4 ft tank with fluros, I have had an anemone for 3 years with no probs, in fact it split and I had to take one back. I do have 5 tubes though

thanks for the replies guys. The tank is 2.04L*700w*600H It is being built into a wall(or rather a wall is being built around it in the lounge). I think I migh head down the steel path, I have a mate who works for a welding firm who should be able to make me a deal

Hey, which do you think would the best material for a new stand. I know some of you have used steel and others wood. A lot of guys in the states use wood but I have been warned of it by some people so am leaning towards a steel stand. What are your ideas

my brother is using the mm system, seems to be going very well and his tank looks great

I have moved house 2 times in the last 6 months, you get better each time you do it but yeah moving stinks

$60-70 depends on glass thickness One of the guys who works at hollywoods had a stream in his tank on the normal holders and it came off and wrecked havoc in his tank, think he took the stream out after that

pies do you have the magnets to hold the streams, much better than the ones the come with, I switched mine over and am much happier with it

I have a pair of maroon clowns, they lay eggs just below their anemone, but the male also spends loads of time moving stones around the tank. They havent laid eggs in a while though as I have moved house 2 times in the last 6 months and had to get another anemone as the other one I had split and just got too damn big.

mines always out and about looking for food. Eats anything i feed the other fish spiralina nori etc. Found him in the overflow once but that was months ago
