hey marc i saw how you did your return on your 55 with just 1 in my pump does the same gph as the mag 9 you think i should just go 1 inch and just an elbow like you in the tank?

hey marc,

what you think about having 2 returns on one side and the overflow on the other on a 55, or have the overflow in the center with a return on either side. i plan on getting an vortech mp40 or 20 haven't decided yet. these are going to replace my korila pumps. sorry i reposted on your visitor messages I didn't describe my problem very well in the blog

thanks a ton

Hey Marc,
Love that the info and videos but I wish you would go regular format on the forum I think you would get a lot of perticipation that way .I kind have a hard time with this format and find myself going to that other site to get a fix.
Any chance you might do that in the future? Again I love all the videos and info just long for the regular forum format here also.

no, it's 4 bulbs total (2 of their nova extreme x2 light fixtures)

few places suggested that a single fixture (1 10k t5ho and 1 actinic 460 t5ho) would be sufficient, but I don't buy it so I went with two. Just hoping I can get a few hard corals in there with the rest of my stuff

Hey marc,

Could you give me some suggestions on activated carbon? Do you use it in your reef and do you think it helps any? Like, have you seen any negative effects for not using it?
Currently in my tank the only filtration in my tank is the skimmer, live rock, bacteria, and a moderately deep sand bed. I was thinking on adding a phosban reactor with an MJ900 to run AC. I'm thinking this will improve my coral/fish health. Your thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,

I didn't want to clutter up another post, so figured I'd just drop you a message.

I'm trying to decide if I actually went a little TOO crazy on lighting. Right now I have 96 watts of t5 ho lighting on my 29 gallon tank, with individual parabolic reflectors on each one (It's actually two current usa 30" t5ho lights... as they don't make a 4 bulb system in the 30")

Bad idea? or is it enough that I should flaunt sps corals in a 29 gallon tank?

I should rectify my post...
There exists a thread on RC that discusses the re-charging thoroughly.

Am I allowed to post a link to that thread? There is a great deal of info in the thread.
