Keep us updated with what lighting set up you get. I think 150 MH only penetrate 18" and 250 go 24" and 400 for 30".
I'm using a 6,500K 13 watt PC bulb in my refugium and have seen growth in my chaetomorpha and caulerpa.
I think the 8x54 watt T-5's will do fine. You won't burn your soft corals or Anemone with 150 watt MH's. My Xenia and Toadstool love my 250's.
When it was in my 120 it was located almost at the very bottom (near the sand but not in the sand). When it started looking bad I moved it into my...
Love my pair of Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp. [IMG]
Here is a researched article about the benefits of phytoplankton. http://www-ce.stanford.edu/faculty/monismith/Genin_et_al2002.pdf
Phytoplankton is suppose to be microscopic algae which is inside the coral polyps (zooxanthellae). Why would phytoplankton be sold to the reef hobby...
He's really good with keeping clean and clear edges, looks very professional.
I've had my 30-gallon AGA (freshwater set-up) for 18 years now and it went through two moves and is still leak free!
Has anyone noticed a significant benefit of using phytoplankton for their SPS corals?
I'm having the same problem :( Here is my Elegance a month after being added to my 120. Great color and polyp extension! [IMG] This is my...
Does anyone have plans on how to build an aquarium using acrylic?
Has anyone bred Fairy Wrasse? I have a Male McCosker's wrasse and was wondering if I purchased a Female would they make in captivity? Page 1
I thought Natural Seawater was at 1.027 so why would 1.0255 hurt coral growth?
What is the most beneficial salinity level for the fastest SPS growth and greatest coloration? I read that a level of 1.0255 may hurt SPS growth. Any...
Really? What was the PAR and who makes the meter you are using? Do you work at a fish store?
Which bulb has a higher PAR value? I didn't see the Giesemann 14.5K on Sanjay's site. I will be running 250 watt Double Ended bulbs on a PFO HQI...
Do corals benefit more from 420nm (Super Actinic) or 460nm (Blue Actinic)? I was looking at Sanjay's spectral plots of 250 watt DE bulbs and noticed...
Is the center brace on the Perfecto aquariums are necessary? If they don't give much support I plan to cut mine out but still leave the black trim on...
I build my refugium with a bubble trap out of a 30 gallon long glass aquarium. Wasn't very hard to make the walls and glue them.
