I can't speak for larger tanks, but my nano has been doing very well with the Par38 fixture I have over it. Good growth, no temperature swings, and...
A quarantine tank (QT) is a separate tank that you keep new fish in after you purchase them in order to make sure that they are not sick before...
Think of it this way, if you have a turnover in your tank of less than 10X, you are likely to develop an algae problem. In the fuge, you want to...
I don't suppose you have any interest in going the DIY route? I don't know much about large LED fixtures, but I look forward to tagging along to...
Should be a good build. I considered making a "power box" for the cube build. This thread has me considering it again.
I haven't had a single issue. It was worth every penny. The tank doesn't overheat, I don't need to replace bulbs, the PAR value is high, the corals...
Yea, Just make it happen.
It is certainly difficult to move away from something as proven as metal halides. On the other hand, It is nice to not worry about bulb changes.
I don't even need any and I may be getting a few.
Nassarius snails stir up the sand.

If you got all five fish in the past two weeks and you are feeding one to two times a day, it is likely that the extra bioload is causing algae to...
Thanks for the info Tatted. Knowing how to tell Aussi from Indo is handy to know. If I do go for an Elegance, are there any corals that do okay...
First off, welcome to 3reef. I have never used halides, so I am not sure how to remove the bulb. I'm sure when people start waking up there will be...
Thanks a lot. Things have been so busy from the move that I haven't been keeping up with the tank like I should. Now that things are mellowing out...
It has been staying fairly clean. The spotlight effect of the LED seems to be keeping the coraline algae off the glass. The substrate looks new...
How dirty are we talking? Is this why Elegance used to be considered hardy and are now often difficult to keep?
The PAR values just under the bulb is charted around 350 - 400. The Ricordea are growing well at every level of the tank, from top to bottom. The...
I am trying to decide between an elegance coral or clam for my cube. I am a bit nervous to try either because of the low volume of water, but the...
