    LED's or T5 or Metal Halide

    Just picked up a 60" 4 bulb T5 with led moons and built in timer for my 60" tank from topdogsellers (same as aquatraders). Snug fit inside the hood, but so far so good. Added 2x80w that I was running before so I'm running 6x80w with exotica led for a little extra pop.

    New Tank Design

    I talked to them about those. They are sweet, but unless you get the tank built from them they have to remove and replace the entire back panel....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Depending on what size holes you are going to use, you might be able to use a PVC drain strainer and just slip it into the hole...

    Carbon use advise for reef

    I run about a 1.5-2 cups in a reactor off my return manifold on my 125, change it every 2-3 weeks. Filter sock would be easy though, just change it when you change the sock.

    Welcome. You will find tons of info and friendly people here. Might be my OCD, but where's the skimmer pump? Gate valve mod on my ASM made adjustments a TON easier too.

    lighting help

    I'm running T5HO on my tank(6x80w on 60" tank), but most of the companies I've talked to recommended 3 units for a 60" unless you are going to have 6-8" of space from edge to rock. Seems almost to be a standard for LED units to cover a 24x24 area. Have you considered adding a couple of T5 for...
