Has anybody purchased HQI MH bulbs on Ebay? I have no experience with Ebay and the price of these bulbs seem to good to be true. Any advice or warnings?

So I set up a 5 gallon fugue for my 75 display. I ran two siphons with quarter inch tubing from my display to the fugue then the fugue to he sump. Does running it to my sump defeat the the whole point? That and does the same size tubing from the display tonthe fugue then from the fugue mean that the water level will remain level?

Thanks
Jon.

Hello All,

Am getting 75+ lbs of marco rock tomorrow, and so, I'm really close on beginning to cycle the tank, can some one review these working steps I made and see if I've covered my bases correctly or perhaps could change the order, if something is not right.

To recap, here's my setup
Building a Reef with a 120 Gallon tank. So far, my empty tank looks like this: 29 Gallon sump/fuge, a rio 3100 return via a diy Weir/overflow with 1 inch drain. The return runs ...

As mentioned in Phil's 150 Gal build, here's the back and front shots of mine with the paint job.

Finally purchased my lighting, got a good deal on it at Dallas North, so I had to grab it, it's a 48", AquaticLife T5 HO 6 Lamp with 4 Lunar lights light. I guess I'm going to have to start figuring out how I'm going to mount it, I need to get it about 4 more" off the water (a total of about 7" above the tank), so I have room to get into the tank to clean or move things around, can't decide if I want to hang it or build a canopy for it.
