You are correct, MH shimmer, t5's don't, but there are new LEDs that are supposed to mimic the shimmer as well.
Google tanks with t5 setups and you will see once you buy a good t5 unit they can grow anything a mh can. Yes t5's are a newer technology, but it...
Basically here is the issue, one of my fish is breaking off pieces of my sps (the more narrow part where the sps is growing). So I am going to assume...
T5's can be dimmed, Fauna Marin just came out with a new line of dimmable t5 units. I think they are called star sphire T5 units.
You can also try the putting up a mirror by the side of the tank and hopefully the yellow tang will start to pay more attention to the mirror and...
a little pricey but I've been liking D-D H2ocean salt. It has checked out to very close to what is written on the pail with all three pails that I...
Get at least a 4 bulb 4 foot hot5 unit and you will be fine. Im growing a bunch of sps, Lps, shrooms, zoas, have a blue tip carpet anemone and have...
I like the Euro Reefs, I've got a 125ish g tank and I'm using the er-135 for almost 3 years now with no probs.
I've bought a few sps colonies around the $ 80 mark, and a large nicly colored frogspawn for $135.
I have used 7 different salts in the last couple of years, and the one I use right now and have been liking for the last while is the D-D h2ocean....
Any pics of it? Do you have it in a reef tank by any chance? How long have you had it and have you had any probs with it? What size is it? Sorry...
So taken from another site IO got tested and the totals are as follows Cal- 350, Alk- 12, Mg- 1070. Over the last year and a half I have switched 6...
maybe go with a smaller sized pellet then or soak it in tank water for a bit before putting it in the tank.
First off I would try to eliminate the brine shrimp and go with mysid shrimp instead (more nutrients). Pellets tend to cause less problems on your...
for LPS yes you can have to much flow, but for sps there is never to much flow. I run around a 48 times a hour turnover (mag 18, and 4- k4's) in my...
Wow looking at the prices you guys pay for fish I need to move to the states. My most expensive fish was a Crosshatch trigger in the super rare size...
for t5s 3 to 4 inches above water level.
with your lighting I would not recommend trying to keep an anenome.
The 6 bulb will work great in your tank (8 bulb may get you quicker growth). Like I mentioned before I've got the 4 bulb 4 footer in my 5 foot tank...
Try it, I put a turbo in my overflow and then my sump here and there to clean them out and it works every time.
