EDIT: First post has been edited. Found a 150watt K2 Viper Metal Halide. Any thoughts on this fixture? Will it be enough in a 46 gallon? I will...
I'm pretty convinced having any part of the tank overhanging is bad news. Not willing to take the risk at all. I think I might just convert my old...
Ah, interesting... hrmm...
Other than tangs, what are good for getting rid of some copepods? They're crawling all over my sand bed and it's pretty disgusting. I'd like to...
Thank you everyone for the great input. I think I should just go for Metal Halides... one time investment anyway right?
Gotcha, Thanks!
Does tank capacity play a bigger role in determining light "strength" than say, distance from the light? Does anyone here have LPS with PCs? Anyone...
Is 150w Metal Halide enough for Frogspawns in a 46 gallon? I have 96watts of 50/50 PC, and 2x15 watts of 425mm Actinic. Total of 126watts. Will...
Ich can only live on fish. No need to do hypo on your DT, just let it go fishless for 8 weeks and the Ich will run its life cycle and die without...
Thanks guys. I read this too late. Already bought a 46 gallon bowfront with matching stand. Now I can sleep easy. haha
I think you mean HYPOsalinity (lower than normal salinity). I don't agree with what you've said. Although symptoms may leave, the tang will still...
You don't have to, but most people find it very annoying. They tend to spread rapidly. Not to mention, they're pretty ugly. ::)
The symptoms sound like Ich. Definetly not what you want to hear, but I'd QT the fish in a hospital tank and treat the parasite before things get...
Wow , after reading all this I decided I won't be dealing with saltwaterfish.com. I was about to make a rather large order since my LFS didn't carry...
I hate API Nitrate tests... so hard to distinguish between the different shades of orange/yellow, and the color changes as you move it away from the...
Is that aiptasia that I see? Poor foxface
Do NOT buy. Light is one thing you do not want to skimp on. It creates a lot of heat, and carries a lot of electrical current and it's crucial that...
Ban this kid. ... just kidding?
I doubt you'll have any problems at all. Majority of tank "heat ups" are strong lighting and LEDs tend to give off so little heat as it is.
I've been running mine for the past 4 weeks... no temp change. The only thing that drives up my water temperature is having all my powerheads on (4...
