I just read a post by Covey that broke it down. VHO's are T-12's (very ineffecient). I don't recommend either. I would look into T5's. If you...
Don't T5's = VHO?
Yeah they make VHO setups just like the pc's. Go with the VHO's, a decent setup will let you keep anything you can think of with very few...
It is an electronic ballast, that's a good point that I didn't consider.
You already have enough actinics with the pc 50/50's IMO. I would use two regular T5's (10000-20000K or anything in between) to really increase the...
I have all the room I need as I'll be wiring it, I wanted the ballast in the stand as the light will be mounted in the stand as well (I don't want...
30 hex= 150 watt coralife pendant and coralife bulb at 10000K 10g= 75 watt DIY HQI at 20000K Both halides, no fluorescents.
I really wouldn't mess with the T8's, t10's, or T12's for marine life, they shift colors very fast. Invest in a nice system and you'll be set for a...
I'm pretty sure that T8,T10, and T12 are all the same with different diameters. T5's have the same (maybe smaller) diameter of T8's but require...
I'm rigging up a 70w halide diy. The ballast, fixture, and wiring are ready to go. I want to set it up this weekend as I should have the bulb on...
I've been building vivariums for years, you shouldn't have any troubles converting your terrarium. I would check the silicone well, you may want to...
Happy Birthday Matt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now get back to upgrading :D
Here's an example: Beckett #7109510 12OZ Black Waterfall Foam - SHOP.COM There are a lot of manufacturers, it's pretty much all the same product....
Tinfury aren't you using NSW? I would think it would be different since in theory you are using cycled water. If using NSW, and I don't and haven't...
I use expandable foam to make rock and tree structures for my vivariums. The becketts pond foam is a good candidate and depending on how well you...
I've done some minor stuff for vivariums (tree trunks and branches), I researched all types of building materials. The best bet is two part epoxy...
If it's moving it is probably alive. You should be able to inside of it when it is open. Here's mine:...
I agree with pisces. I was cleaning my remora yesterday and when its full with water it's heavy, and probably too ackward. The flow from the remora...
Definately my remora, but I couldn't live without it.
What's everyone's favorite SW picture site? I like nature.org but use it for my other hobbies as well (fw planted, vivariums, reptiles, amphibians,...
