The weekend is coming soon and I will need to go ang get some supplies soon, so some quick questions.
1). VHO- I have 4 VHO's on the system. I need to by two ballast and the seller said he buys them from the builder store. (Home Depot, etc.) the question is: What can y'all tell me about VHO lighting. I never used then before? And, do y'all get ya lighting from HD or where? VHO parts, endcaps, etc.? Should I mount the ballast and such under in stand are on back of canopy, what y'all think? I'm thinking in stand.
2). Plumbing- on the drain bulkhead ... With the flex hose to sump.. Do I use clamps or what? Looking at others setups it doesn't look like but I'm thinking yes. Any tips on all the plumbing would be appreciated. Also on the return it looks like I have some type of flex tubing???
3. Sand- should I get the live sand or dry sand. I don't think the LFS carried live sand, where can I get it from online? About how much?
Should I go deep or shallow bed? Pros and cons please!
4) hmmm... How can I add the water and my corals and livestock by this weekend?? Get saltwater from LFS? Please tell me how?
I have my own ideas on all the questions I asked but I want to hear your ideas. Most of y'all have a lot more experience Ghana me when it come to marine tanks. I believe there are no stupid question, just stupid people who don't ask questions!
Thanks for all ya help,
HAT
p.S. I will post pics on all these subject when I'm actually to that point in the project...LOL.. Which will happen fast. I would like to have water in tank with coral and things by Sunday evening. Hood and lights and stand door may not be completed yet though.
