Thanks Kole. Honestly, I went with the 60mm because that is what the local camera shop recommended for my application. What I know about photography could fit on the back of a cocktail napkin :)

What are you dosing with and how much?

 

[fort384]

I have Perastaltic pumps on timers that dose alk and Ca solutions I make from BRS. I dose enough to keep me at a constant 9.8dKH and 425 ppm Ca.

That makes me feel better as I am a noob to photography also. :)

Very nice! I'm going to be getting a 57 gallon rimless ordered next week! How do you like it? Any problems? Wish you went bigger?

 

[ReefPops]

Awesome. Tank looks great!

 

[fort384]

I love it. It is a great size. Bigger is always better but space was an issue for me.
