I don't have enough corals for anything to be attacking them. The ones that died were hairy mushrooms. I was running 520watts of PC now I'm running...
I know what you mean about the money thing with the LFS. I got a sea hare fropm my LFS to deal with hair algae and now it's starting to starve...
The more wavy type soft corals tend to let more goo in the water. Corals like Colt Coral and Tree coral are some of the worst. The Xenia would...
With 14K bulbs they will. There is no need for supplemental actinics with the 14K. The 20Ks will make your tank look like you have nothing but...
My main tank has two 250 watt DE HQI bulbs and two 54 watt actinic T-5's. MY other reason for wanting to do them in the 20 is because they spread so...
Tim, call your LFS and see if he will take them back. The only problem with that is he'll give you wholesale value for them, and may not even want to...
Go for it HL14. If you don't your crazy.
It may hurt SPS. Soft corals let off continuous slime in the water which will attach to the SPS and smother it out. I'm not 100% sure this the...

In a 26 gallon tank you will want anywhere between 30 and 45 pounds. By the time you get all that you want and get it aquascaped you will know howm...
Maybe for softies, but not anemones. The carpet and the long tentacle will eventually die. To keep a carpet you need MH or VHO. Are you willing to...
I'm with Darin on the 14K deal. The 20Ks will be dark blue, so blue it will be ugly.
Well throw me a frickin bone. I thought you meant length to wattage. The only thing I've read is the T-5's are 6 times brighter than T-12's. I have...
The Coral banded shrimp are bad to the bone. Mine will attack my hand if I get into his territory.
You decided on the T-5's. I'll be interested to see the results. I wasn't sure what you meant by what wattage equals what, but I would assume you...
