One is UL listed. The other is not. That's enough for me to never choose the later.
Take a voltmeter and check for stray voltage. Put one lead in the GROUND of an electrical outlet (the big round one at the bottom center) and place...
Recently, I've been pretty happy with the Elos pellet foods.
spaghetti worms one of the best CUC worms, IMO
Sure, it's possible, and can usually be done just fine. It's something I've considering doing myself for my lone male. The only thing I'd advise,...
There's a zoanthid colony underneath that; I presume you're aware however. :) Looks sponge-like to me; regardless it's smothering the zoanthids, so...
This is about a weeks worth: [IMG] But bear in mind, that cup is 8" in diameter. Aquamaxx AM250
The first is not an acro; that's a cyphastrea. It looks bleached to me, but might have been stung as well. Alk can be tested via a hobbiest test...
But some of these things in Soviet Russia look so enticing! ;)

14 wouldn't really be enough for the higher light corals.
24 would be the right amount. What driver do you have in mind? The popular meanwells won't handle that many; you'll need two of them. I'd also...
Things you need to know when starting with SPS, regardless of where you're buying from. Aquacultured is the way to go. Hardiness here is the best...
I really think you're fine here. Algae loves to grow on skeletons, regardless of how clean things are.
Yup, as Mike said. I've got a basketball sized green birdsnest that has done this; first the entirely shaded tissue went white, then it sloughed...
