I test fired all 3 when they arrived to make sure no DOA's I am still seeing spots. I liked the color, from what I can tell on the floor. DAMN they...
Oh!!! I forgot..I have a 2x54 T-5 retro kit that is going in there as supplement, and also moons. I already bought the kit, and reflectors last week...
Whew!!! Tangster is not a huge fan of them, says they are older technology. He prefers 20k xm's. I wanted to start somewhere in the middle. These...
I am thinking about actually going with the double island look, with some Tonga bridging the 2. There is one like that at one of my LFS, and I still...
The canopy will be 11-12" in height. I will decide tommorow. I have been lurking in the LFS's with a measuring tape, stealing ideas and incorporating...
Thanks!!! I am pretty stoked!! I am ready to start making the switch to SPS dominant....Oh, BTW. There will be a surprise add on DIY at the end of...

Ok, metal halides are ordered and on the way. I am going to build a new canopy to house them. This tank is 72x18. I want to see pics of your retrofit...
Are you sure you turned them all the way back on?? Sometimes they feel like they are done turning, and with a little more force they will turn more.
Yes-but the interest rate for using it as a scraper is 0% :hehe:
They will shed it if frightened or sometimes to spawn. Mine popped out the other end once and then came back out the top. If the worm is still in...
I never really tested that theory with test kits. I recently got a live PH meter, so it is pretty easy with that running!!:) I never wanted to get up...
I have always read that running opposite reduces ph swing. I still get a small ph drop overnight, but i think that is due to the corals "Sleeping"...
