If I understand correctly, corals can use the 460nm (blue in color) lighting better for their growth than compared to 420nm (which look more purple,...
Adding new LR and LS created a new cycle when you moved your tank. Depending on how much you added, it will essentially make your year old tank...
Go for a Bubble King Mini 180!! Woohooo! :drool:
I may go, it's only 40min drive for me. :)
Die off usually is shown by it draining its chlorophyll and turning white. It will also break apart.
Are they separate ballasts?
That's what I am running. I just picked up my T5 54W to supplement my 70W HQI and it looks nice. 20000K generally has lower PAR values than the...
My Coralife ballast fried recently too, but it was 4 years old. Their email respnse is fairly slow, it took 8 days for them to write back. I...
Nice, congrats man! :)
My little lawnmower died last night. He was skinny and obviously didn't eat that much the last week. I'm not sure why it happened but he's gone...
If you guys are referring to nitrates, that is NO3, not NO4. Just wanted to send a friendly clarification. :)
I don't use any, but I have seen LFS that does. I have seen red macros and chunks of chaeto in the DT. They are usually hidden behind the LR...
If you are handly with tools, it's easy to finish. I installed my RO/DI unit in about 2 hours, and that was being lazy. I used inline connections...
Get a RO flush kit too, they extend the life of the membrane stage quite a bit. Get a TDS meter to see your quality of water. :)
I have the exact setup you have and my 3 little golfball sized clumps have now become the size of a football. I use the 6500K light as well, it's a...
Before you do this, do a lot of research on what you want and what they need. Some corals are VERY demanding and even very experienced reefers have...
I would leave it how it is, and not force it to stand. It will create more stress on it. Try to feed it a 1/2" of silverside daily, with feeding...
You are talking about isopods, those are bad.
I used the stuff and it didn't work. What got rid of my ick was turning off the lights, and keeping the params the same, not lowering SG, not...
+K on that. Changing those params can lead to shock if it's not the same as what they are used to.
