The T5 set up will provide more par with longer lasting bulbs. From a PAR perspective you will be able to keep even the most light demanding...
very nice corals :) #1 looks to be a montipora though... :confused:
Some suggestions: -The ampmaster is to much pump for a return, you'll have micro bubble problems from too much flow in your sump. More turn over is...
The bulbs and ballasts i hear are not any good, IIRC the ballast will not fire a normal HQI bulb. With that said, if you factor in a ballast and...
Look into marco rocks. they are dry dead reef rock and very affordable. Cement will raise the PH and takes a long time to cure. you also have to...
we're are shrimp nuts too. do some research, there are many cool shrimp out there that dont get enough attention. we just picked up this...
PH, KH, No3, Po4, and Ca all are elevated. What kit are you using? A KH of 10 and Ca of 700 is highly unlikely, try to verify it with another brand...
I would suggest elos kits as well. If you are doing a FOWLR, a wet dry is not needed...you may want to start another thread on that.
Adding the whole vial of biodigest (bac) should be fine. it's a waste, but so is flushing it. (fwiw, we dosed 1 vial on our 20g nano, here's a write...
Odds are all heaters will fry a tank eventually. ebo, finnex, won, visi, aqua-medic, etc... You want a titanium heating element and separate...
i do agree with the idea of testing before you add, but the problem is most hobbyist test kits are not accurate. in the case of iodine there is...
It means you have high nutrients fueling the algae. Not that it's bad, but for SPS and more demanding corals it can be. po4 can inhibit the growth of...
no sand (BB) glass is cleaned every ~5 days, just a light dusting. fwiw, how often you clean your glass is a good indication of nutrient levels.
[IMG] here is an image of a misc. meshwheel. they all look very similar, a flat disc with holes drilled. the holes allow the mesh to be attached...
they are using the stock sicce pump stats, pulling 50scfh they run at ~24watts each. more air input=less electrical consumption. they are the same...
I do not believe that info is not complete. The eheim was used on their "twister" model. They use a modified sicce psk2500 on the bubble...
And what pump do those tunze models use? the sicce psk2500 :D ...i left those out as I dont believe they are in his price range. (FWIW, you may...
They work, but for the $$ there are better skimmers out there. some people really have trouble dialing them in, others work perfect out of the box. A...
Ziggy, it looks good. I would just check the white areas to be sure you do not have any pests and also verify your alkalinity readings. It's normal...
he speaks english and german...probably swiss-german too :D
