Do you still have the lights? If so, what type and how many?

For some reason, I was not receiving notifications of posts to this thread. I did hear back from Salgado in September, and after much back and forth they made it right. They claimed they were having email issues, but that in my mind does not excuse the lack of response to voicemails.

Mods, if this is inappropriate please delete. I have been receiving emails from Salgado with livestock listings and prices. I had purchased some livestock when they had a retail store in Plano and was happy with my purchases. Long story, short. I placed an order 8/28 paying extra for UPS...

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. My UV Sterilizer bit the dust. It was a Sterilight model S5Q-PA. I am looking for suggestions for a replacement.

I’ve has a couple of triggers jump out of my tank which has a full canopy.  I am looking for ideas on what to put on top of my tank to prevent future jumpers and where I can buy them.  Tank is a 210 72”x24”TIA

I am considering replacing my VHO/MH lighting with LED. One of the contenders is the reefbreeders value line, link below. In order to be able to adjust the dimmers, I will need to be able mount them in such a way as to swivel them down when my canopy is raised. Does anyone have any ideas on...

My apologies if this has been asked before. I'm running 3x250 Phoenix 14k bulbs. What is a good ballpark number for the number of hours/days/months I can run them until they need to be replaced? FYI, I run them about 7-8 hours a day. TIA

It's about time for me to refill my calcium reactor. I've bene using ARM with NEO Mag magnesium media on top, but wanted to see if there are other Ideas out there for a better media. Thoughts?

I have had a 150 running 5x160 VHO for several years and am looking to go MH. My tank has a glass center brace, so I plan on two MH, with two VHO actinics. I am trying to avoid the chiller, so was hoping I would get good results with 2x250 watts. I understand the center of the tank may be a bit...
