    I agree with rage this time on getting deals from individuals. as for buying corals, the cheapest place i go is Global Aquatics in Atascocita. Sure most of the corals are 40$+ but there full colonies.
    75gal reef aka the $$$$ pit.

      Scooped up a Oceanic Bio Cube 29g

      ok question... Is there a switch to turn on/off the LEDs? or do you have to unplug/plug it in?

      im tired as hell and want to get it set up before bed.

      A Big Thanks to City Pets for my new set up! I only have about +/- 20 lbs of live rock, will get more come payday.

        If its the JBJ then you have to unplug it on the cord. You should get a timer and plug it into that like one of these http://www.marinedepot.com/Zilla_Aqu...LTACTM-vi.html

          +1 on city pets. They have the best prices on all there sw stuff. I'm sure H.A.W. Will be competive when the get up and running.

            Jaygee, there is no switch for the led moonlights. One bad draw back, but I usually just keep them on all the time or just place it on a simple timer. The only thing I might suggest is try to get an extra power head in there if you can to help circulate the dead spots in your tank. Thanks for stopping by. If you have questions, feel free to call anytime. (713)271-7387. I am usally there in the afternoons. My brother takes the morning shifts.

                  The dual stage timers are the best you never have to worry about the lighting

                    Sorry if these next questions are dumb but Im still gonna ask them.

                    How long do you leave the day light on?
                    When do you turn on the Blue light? (dont know the name)
                    The LEDs are when both the lights are off?

                      If your Actinic and daylights are on different switches you should have them on at the same time. I would do only a couple of hours while cycling I made the mistake of running them a lot longer and had a bad algae bloom that I am still trying to get under control. If you set the lights up on a timer like the one I linked then the LEDs will come on as soon as the day time lights shut off.

                              some people will run only their 'blue light' actinic light for 1-2 hrs before and after the daylight lamps to help create a morning /noon/evening effect while also running the actinic whle the daylights are on during the 'noon' aspect of the lighting cycle

                              temp ~78
