The funniest thing about this is that I am a seminary student, living on campus of a very conservative Baptist seminary (Southeastern Baptist, in...
You are both right, but for different reasons. T5 is more hassle than LEDs since you do have to swap out the bulbs and keep track of how old they...
Agreed. Stability is huge. When you remove a lot of soft corals, you have removed a huge nutrient-sucking biomass from your tank. Thus you may...
Thanks guys! Every reef I set up (at least, the ones for simply viewing pleasure) will just be ghetto simple reefs. For me it's all about the...
Started this thread below to track the results of VC dosing, and to discuss it further:...
BTW this is the tank I'm talking about:...
Lol, dosing without a skimmer should scare you ;). However, the last time I used Vitamin C powder, I was shoveling nearly 2 full tsp per day into an...
None. Which I am aware of the risk--- but as you can read in the post, I've not had any serious bacterial bloom that would cause oxygen depletion....
I just wanted to share with everyone something that I'm trying on my 11g nano, since I am convinced that this can work, and I'm only risking a small...
Most all of the live rock I've had in the past (and now), including Marco Rock, can be drilled using regular wood drill bits. It does chew them up...
Something else I'm trying on this tank is dosing a carbon source, without a skimmer. Again, this is "wrong" thinking, but it's working (halfway)....
Mr. Bill is hitting on a couple very good points (and, points that are reasons I'm an avid DIY LED enthusiast, it's NOT that hard to do lol)....
So far the only thing I've found that actually makes a softy tank done "wrong" is to overstock it with fish, overfeed it, ignore the top-off and...
I am shocked at how clean the water is in this tank since it has no mechanical filtration. I'm doing a bunch of things wrong in this tank and, by...
I beg to differ--- but most of the folks that I know that have successfully switched are using about half the wattage from what their halides used...
Camo-green-pearly-whatever. It's a Rhodactis indosinensis. Strangest color morph I've ever seen. [IMG] Green ricordia: [IMG] Frogspawn: [IMG]...
Blue anthelia: Snowflake (1/4" tall) Turf-type: [IMG] Blue anthelia, taller type (about 2" long), with small Tyree green toadstool frag to the...

This tank has been set up since early October 2011. [IMG] Specs: Tank-- Green Leaf Aquariums, 36"X9"X9" (approx). Water flow-- two Maxijets,...
BTW you asked about the pink color under LEDs, I may be wrong bit it appears to be bleaching. SPS are legendary for bleaching if you don't acclimate...
