DeadFishFloating Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 i am thinking going to salt water. Are you just going to keep salt water in there? Or were you thinking of also having fish or even corals? We cant help you, if you are vague. Help us, help you. Perhaps post a picture of a tank close to what you want to achieve.

DeadFishFloating Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 for soft corals you will need a chiller for great success. cant view youtube for 2 or so more days Hard to plumb them into Marisys tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFishFloating Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 T5 is ok for most softs. I meant hard to plumb chiller into a marisys. Prob best to run chiller with a seperate pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
