Tinned Reef

Your SotR is hot! I like your coloration compared to mine.

As for lighting I know radions are far more powerful but my HDs are already up there.

I'd go for it on the infinity. Give it a try fortunately those things retain their value pretty well so worst case scenario it doesn't work out you'll likely be able to break even reselling or just a small hit.

I thought everyone says that the 175w halides are trash? Atleast ive always heard they are worthless

Thats just what ive read. Heard the de 150w are even better than the se 175w. Most people dont give a reason. I think it has something to do with par output. Because one guy said anything over 18" deep go with 250w. And that he can only geow sps at the very top of his tank under 175w. But those are just things read from other foruns. May be different with such a high end fixture

yea atleast this is easy to treat and not a headache .. reading up on it ..
 
Red bugs are super easy. The hard part is getting interceptor. Make sure to treat your tank once a week x 3 treatments.

Call Metropolitan Animal Hospital, ask for Sentinel, tell them it's for an aquarium and you will pay for a vet consult if necessary to go over the animals needs and dosing with the veterinarian. Otherwise several years ago when it was being taken off the market I got a large stash of the stuff from Munster Animal Hospital in Munster, Indiana by doing the same thing.
