I am newly trying to revitalize my ten year old aquarium. I picked up a GBTA a month and a half ago. It's been very pale and shrinking. Thought it was a gonner. Today I came home and it spilt four times! All in their glory!

I still use metal halides and no plans to change to LED's. The only MH bulb I like is the discontinued Reeflux 12K 400 watt mogul bulb. I tried all the others...but just don't like them. too yellow, too blue, too white, too dim, too bright...what a pain!! The Reeflux were the only ones that...

I bought this setup as a great deal a few months ago but haven't had time to set it up. Now that we're moving I'm not sure i'll have time to keep my current tank, let alone set up a new system like this one. 120 gallon glass tank, custom acrylic sump made to fit under stand, and the wood...

Back in 2008 I had a couple year running reef tank with soft and hard corals. I was using 2 metal halides and four t5 bulbs. Im about to start up another tank and all I see are led lights in both oceans and seas and the other place on Gratiot. The tank will be a red sea 54 gallon drilled with sump

So the T5 actinics are not working in my fixture. They worked for a bit, but over the course of a couple days they began not wanting to turn on and now won't come on at all. I'm assuming the ballasts are bad for them, as the Halides & those ballast are working fine. Anyone have any thoughts as...

Hi Folks, New to the state (Aussie, spent 3.5 years in NY) - and finally have a house of my own which means a tank is on the cards once again. Used to keep a 20 Gallon drilled with sump nano, mostly running SPS under Metal Halides back in Australia. Plan now that I'm established here is to...

A friend says this is possible. He claims he is currently using his collection of African cichlid tanks to heat his home. I am skeptical, but keenly interested as I will be in the market to replace my furnace next year. His is an older (1930s woodframe built) 1-story 1250 s/f home that is 80%...

Hi All, I just bought XR30's:3195: for my 110g so I am looking to quickly sell my ATI SunPower. I've had the fixture for three years. I love that you get the benefits of T5's with the gradual change in light of LED's. The light is in excellent condition. Two years ago I had to change a...

Getting good pictures under LEDs remains a challenge for me. Getting the correct color balance is a struggle, and then detail can be hit or miss. Despite a good camera... Nikon D5100 with a fixed macro lens... I just don't get the results I'd expect. So I got an early production pre-release of...

I have a Hamilton Technology single mogul style bulb 250 Watt Metal Halide with two VHO bulbs. This is a 48 inch long fixture, and has a fan on it that comes on when the Metal Halide is on. I used this fixture over my 90 Gallon and it worked fine, just upgraded to a much bigger tank so needed a...

I'm picking up a 90 gallon in a few days, and would like some advice for lighting since there is quite a bit out there since I got out of the hobby 8 years ago. I was using T5's and loved them at the time, but now there's LED.. which is better? I'll eventually have a nice mix of different types...
