Oh, you are not rambling. Now...some of my posts ramble.;D There is a form at the beginning of the ASAP section that has some questions I want to...
Welcome to 3reef!!!!!
Most LFS that are saltwater only (or fish only) have them in there refrigerated section. Petco does not carry them. You can get them online also....
Brandon pretty much hit it right on the head. Your tank needs to be at least a year old. Very established. And larger. Just to give you an idea,...
Well, you have 90g to play with. That's a good size tank. Just don't overstock and they will have plenty of room to move about.
I would soak it as well. Who knows what it has picked up in that length of time. And good job in keeping the base rock for that length of time....
And you are a lucky one if you snagged a specimen that eats prepared foods. Pods will just be icing on the cake. I will be watching with interest...
Very nice addition dude. I like it a lot. My wife wants one now......
My first impulse is to say not to bring the temp up too fast......although I am anything but sure on this one. We'll just treat my post as a...
Hurray for trumpet players!!! I played from the third grade through college.
Play it safe. One 12, one 14 and two actinics. That's the way I would go. It brings out the color of the corals also. The bluer the lighting.
OK, that was a stupid question.....of course you have four. You were looking for four. I would buy one 12K, two 14K and two actinics. Then you can...
How many slots do you have in your fixture? four?
No, not yet. Just PCs. My wife has to give me clearance to spend the money on the 8x54W TEK array I want. But when I do get permission, I am...
Well, you can go 10000K and 12000K. Also available are daylight bulbs that are 16000 to 18000K.....more into the blue spectrum. When I get my T5s,...
I would go 12000K daylight at the very least. I would also stay around 420nm ITO actinics. UVL is a great choice. Definitely go with UVL.
Yeah, I know brother......It's hard. And yes, those are diatoms, or actually the dead skeltetons thereof. Once they exhaust the silicates in their...
Welcome to 3reef. Yup, I started with a 75g. Then it sprung a leak. Darn. Had to upgrade to a 90g.
Sounds like you are having a normal cycle. Assuming you do not have an overload of fish in your tank, things will even out. It will happen. Trust...
Actually, you can grow quite a bit under PC lighting. Granted, it is not a good choice, but I fell into that trap also. I have many corals growing...
