Mark.olson1 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I just started a 5.5 a few months ago....I with I could make mine look that good....I know that Pictures dont do justice....And im sure the tank is alot nicer in person Link to comment
birdman204 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Nice mav. Be sure to acclimate the corals to the new light. I use 4 - 7 pieces of window screen removed everyother day when I started the Halides (this of course after I burned a few things:( ).

lgoins Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 How the hell did you get 135 watts of pc over a 5.5 gallon? Link to comment
maverick Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 thanks for the replys guys.I started out with 3-13w baycos. then i found the 19w curlys @ home depot. I got two of those and 2 of the 10w 50/50 by coral life. then i decided it was too yellow so i bought 2- 13w act 03. then i decided to biuld a better hood out of birtch and i thought i would squeze in 2 more 19w. And my lighting is being upgraded as we speak thanks to bird man with the 70w MH. Link to comment
