    I know the cost is crazy for large tanks and LED's but hopefully someday it will get there. My big thing with T5's is how easy it is to change colors, the lack of heat and I know the electricity bill has gone down...or atleast until I got my frag tank. It cost me more to run my nano then my 40 breeder.

    i think new ballast and a better skimmer/return system would bring my bill down a little. the mag24 i just found out uses 275w. may think about a needle wheel skimmer with more efficient pump system.

    Ya efficient pumps would probably help a lot. I was using a mag pump initially but switched it out and never been happier.

    i just needed something smaller, and honestly i think this pump might still be too big haha oh well. tax time is coming up. i might be able to make some money fragging a few things but no one will drive to oskaloosa haha i'm out of the way for everyone.
