how much do you pay for PC bulbs? I switched from PCs to T5's as additional to my MH cause PCs were costing me about $26 and I could get T5's for...
with PCs you should be able to keep just about anything but some sps. I had luck with montiporas under PCs but I'd avoid most acroporas.
when you say standard lighting what type do you mean?
There can be a big difference between live rock and dry rock in terms of biodiversity. It is true that dry rock will become live over a period of...
I like to fill it with water, add a little vinegar, then run a powerhead in it for a couple of hours.
How big is your sump going to be? I squeezed an Alpha 250 into a 55. It was real tight, but it works. Great skimmer. You're gonna like the 200
I live in Chester County. If you are not familiar with the Frazer Zoo, you might want to check them out. Great LFS for corals. Mike over there is...

I don't think it's laborious. But I really enjoy not having to dose every day. And unless you set up some sort of automatic feed, you can forget, it...
To be fair, some of the improvement in your colt could be due to the bulbs rather than the fact that it's now T5. My sps was bleaching under one bulb...
cyclopeeze is good stuff. I use the frozen. My acans love it. frozen bloodworms were recommended to me for feeding mandarins. Don't know much...
I feed twice a week as every other day was adding too many nutrients. My fish are still fat and happy and I've been doing this for at least 9 months....
Second the suggestion to make sure you are getting real peppermints - Peppermint Shrimp Imposters: Lysmata wurdemanni is the Real Aiptasia-Eater for...
PC was an improvement over HO. T5 is an improvement over PC. It's as simple as that. The light doesn't penetrate as well, there are far more...
