Jason, Thanks for the info - this is the ballast I was looking at. Metal Halide 150W/175W ARO Electronic Ballast Mogul/HQI - eBay (item...
Thanks for the good advice guys - I'm going to start getting materials together to get this going.
Good idea - so perhaps since the 10k does not have as much blue as the 14k; I could do actinics for an hour or two, then shut down the actinics and...
Awesome. I think I'll do 14k. How long is it recommended to leave them on? I currently have my actinics turn on at 6:30AM, daylights turn on at...
I've seen some folks with 14k, some with 18k, etc - which would be preferred? I would like my tank to have a nice glow to it, and I'm thinking 150...
If I were to pick up a 150 watt HQI pendant - what bulb would be recommended?
Looking good!
With the T5's I have 10,000k daylights and actinics. I've seen some halides without actinics, but I'm not sure if that's a special bulb, etc. I...
I'm really liking the T5's that I have currently, but I'm curious about Metal Halides. I was considering doing a DIY / pendant setup. If I had say,...
Also, water params for today: PH - 8.4 NH3 -0 NO2 - 0 NO3 - 20 KH - 15 CA - 420 MG - 1280 Temp - 78 SG 1.028 Do not have a measuring for PO4 but...
Awesome score today - picked up a metallic green (with some purple tips) Frogspawn - 3 heads, very healthy and vibrant colors, about 6 - 7 inches...
Folks are not telling you not to get one, just stating that they are very hard to keep alive, and letting you know that you need a large tank and...
MG is Magnesium. If you got the kit you probably got the basics, ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, etc. I haven't used these tests from Red Sea - just...
I agree with John - they belong in the wild. It's sad to see so many of these in the stores. Around here lots of them are skinny even sitting in...
Which test kit? I have the Red Sea MG test kit and it's fairly accurate as far as I can tell. All my other kits are API.
Good point - my locally made skimmer is a needle wheel. I've been thinking about getting a larger pump for it - I'm happy with it so far, but I...
k+ on the snails. Be wary of emerald crabs, and if you get them make sure they're small. They've been known to catch fish if they run low on other...
That's what I'm leaning towards. They drive the maroon clown nuts when they go near the anemone, and the fish I'm planning to put in there are much...
The anemone may hide from the additional light for a while when you move it, but if it's been a while since he split, you could definitely move the...
Nice looking tank Packleader!
