this power heads are great for that big of tank i believe i would use about four of them they blow much easier then the old ones , you can direct them much easier also.

I have a lot of coral & a salt tank. If you have a lot of rock work or reef Set up you might get stronger as I have 2 of these in a 40g! You don't want a stagnant areas so figure where you'll need to create movement thru your rocks or if just fish 2 might be enough!JM 2¢

I am sorry for the delay, here is the way I have it, I am the type of person who prefer to have more than less, I have 2 in mine and both are 1500 and it is a very big and strong current if your fish are at least 5 inches it will be fine if they are smaller it will be too much, also I have them running one hour each so the current changes and there is a flow everywhere, this is my way of doing it. so Basically for small passive fish one will do, for bigger fish 2 because it will create a nice current and some like it and some avoid it.

I have it in a 30 gal classic rectangular tank and all my reef inhabitants seems to be happy with it. It is installed inside of the tank and submerges about 90%. It might look big in 12 gal, as it probably occupies about a 1/2 gal of aquarium space.

I would recommend every 3 months. Make sure you use chem pure elite. The forum seem to say it works better. They also use purigen 100. I have a 34 gallon. Reef sanctuary is a great forum to learn about tanks. I am also running a reef set up.

Just get one and try it out. I believe the tank will be more than good enough for your tank.

Dimensions of the unit are a I believe 8 3/4 inches x 15 1/2 inches with the unit being 2 inches thick. How many you need for a 75 gallon tank is a loaded question. Depends on what size "footprint" and "depth" of 75 gallon tank you have. Also, what are you putting in the tank? I'm going to answer the question based on the most common 75 footprint.You could get by with 1 if you are not doing in SPS of LPS. If you just want to do some soft corals, one would probably give you the look you want.I would honestly do two though for a tank that size. But I do a mixed reef of everything so....\Hope this helps.

I was told you need at least 55 gallons for saltwater aquarium. This one is 6 or 12 gallons.

I would say 3 to avoid dead spots. I had 2 on a 4 ft tank. I only used them for 2 months though before I got a 6 ft and changed to metal halide. If your interested in them I will give you a good deal. Still have original boxes. Berreybunch @ saltreef com

No, I dont remember how many. It is in my opinion not enough to grow corals. Maybe soft corals. I have green star polyps in my tank. There about 15" down into the tank and they are not thriving. I pulled them from my reef tank, just to add some color. My lights in my reef tank are 3 watt with 90 degree optic lends. They are amazing! I also found them on amazon, about 2x more than these. These light are great for a fish only with or without live rock. Love the effects, but I hardly ever use them.

Depends on what you have in the tank and the length. 4 foot wide fish only two 24" light pack will do. If you have coral you would probly want 4 24" minimum. High lighting coral need 3-4 watts per gallon. Most coral 2-3 watts per gallon will do.

Depending on if u have a lot of sps corals. I have 2 on my 72. U need at least 2 three would be better. They are VERY bright so make sure you acclimate or soft corals can get damaged. Also my anemones did not like the intensity and moved around a lot once I put mine up and got to 100%.

Twin 30 or 40 gal tanks with an automatic change-over regulator would be a pretty good working arrangement. Keep in mind, the bigger the tanks the heavier they are when you take them in to get filled. ;-)

For a wide and deep tank with high light plants, you'll probably want two fixtures. One keeps medium light plants happy in a 72 bow.

I would go with at least the 50 watt. Probably the 100 would be better. You can always put it a little bit diagonally in the tank. it is ok to fully submerge even the top part. I would consider going with 2 50watt heaters with one on either end of the tank for a more even heating effect. Plus both heaters would last longer because neither one would have to work as hard.

Depends what you are keeping. For a coral tank with few to none sps, 1 650 should be just fine, I'd start there. If you decide you need more, just add another later on.

I would say yes to I Also have a standard 75 and use two. Most often I have it to 50% or less because it can be extreamly bright all my coral is thriving for a year now

I would rcommend their Ray 2 for a tank that deep if your are going to raise plants. I use one on a 37 gallon high with 24" depth. it is a planted tank, medium light, NO CO2 but do use Exel carbon suppliment. Works well with very little algae. I also use use a FugeRay on a 10 gallon planted that is 12" deep. Don't use chemicals on that one and use an 8 hour daylight length. Two FugeRays would probably work but a single Ray 2 would be my choice. Either way, the lights are reliable and provide me with the best planted tanks I have ever had.

I have fish and soft corals. My config is 1 white and 4 blue. This was also the recommendation of my local aquarium store.
