Let us no how it works out. With good conditions there is always better odds. Also some blue sponges will die, break up and regenerate. Not sure if...
I haven't had any broken covers. They are a bit noisy though and tend to seize up over time.
As good or better? I would mostly take that to mean, does it have the needed PAR, with less watts and do you prefer the color? Other consideration...
IME it is pretty hit or miss. Carbon dosing and silica dosing may help. Sponges grow to current though, if the current changes particles start...
We only test a few parameters out of thousands and of the ones we test, really other than ca, alk, ammonia, pH, temperature and salinity, are of...
Corals need protein, amino acids etc for growth. The don't get that, I'm any significant quantities from light. Light mainly just provides...
Sorry,realized I didn't respond to the second part of your question. I guess just thinks bout it. Your salt has a mean value for each parameter....
Evolutions, nanos and magnums are fine.
I agree with what others said about identifying and collecting. I don't recognize the snails, neat looking though. With Aussie prices these days,...
Sort of, but corals need nutrients to grow. For the most part though, it's not the nutrients though that inhibit growth, but rather the algae; both...
I was just giving you a hard time BTW. Reality is, most information we get is anecdotal. Looking for patterns among "nice" tanks, is one of the...
I find they recover better, under lower lighting: they are slow growers though, but you should notice regeneration within a month. How long has it...
Using TOTM as a guide wouldn't you have to conclude you need a 500+ gallon system, with a custom LeeMar custom display? ;D. J/k. Really though, I...
Corals like stability. Monthly water changes don't work we'll IME. I've gone through this over and over. I get busy, slack off, only do monthly...
It seems like a lot of light. How is coloration? From your description I'd be more likely to guess lack of feeding than light. Light only drives...
Congrats! And nice looking tank ;)
No. 24" is about the max for a MH. You may be able to squeeze a few more inches out of it, by raising it up, but then you will loose a lot more...
My first tank has been running for about 11 years. I gave it away 2 years ago though, and although there was not a full tank crash, the return...
Sure, all the time.
It's fed by the pump, but it is very inefficient. The Mag 9.5 is nearly 100W, so, it uses a lot of power and produces a lot of heat. As to being...
