A single 240 watt mh bulb over the middle would be plenty for ya. Get a bluer spectrum light and you won't need actinics.
Try cutting the tube that connects the pump to the skimmer so it is higher up in the water level. Also, are you using the strainer that comes with...
hindsight is 20/20 but it's always good to have some water on hand for times like this.
don't risk it. You may see cold water anemones, stars, urchins, and stuff like that but none of them will live in your tank for very long.
yes they should but, if you put 1.026 water in a hydrometer it should read...well 1.026 but this, most of the time, isn't the case.
oh lord we don't need this over here.
it does take a long time. I like to run my new skimmers in a vinegar water solution over night to get some of the oils off. This speeds up the...
You know, most of the metal bands that I know are really happy go lucky guys and use music to get out their aggression. Everyone has a little...
I just clamp a hose onto the tank and let the water run continuously at a very slow rate. (small steady stream) This works really well for me and...
I'm a low flow through sump guy. I think alot of people make a mistake when they decide to rush every bit of water they can by their skimmer. Just...
excellent tunes. Being a huge fan of the angry white boy music, I can appreciate it=)
a couple of 150's would be great on a 46 but I do agree that you don't want to put one over the middle.
I disagree with this and this is why: Heavy flow is a good thing and I think we can all agree on that. Getting your flow from the return is a bad...
still not really going to be cold enough I don't think. 70 is still pretty close to tropical. I think those guys range in the 60 degree area. not...
you should be fine. I would do a water change (small) or two and slow down on your feeding. Small things like this will drop your nitrates in no...
nori is just fine for your tang as that is his natural food. I don't feed my tank terestrial vegetables just for the simple fact that it's not...
could be either
some mag is released from the calcium reactor. Mag doesn't need to be replaced as readily as calcium and alk.
if you are asking opinions, I like the rock in there.
I will NEVER run a tank without a cal reactor again. I use a lifereef calcium reactor with ARM media and milwaukee gauges and ph controller.
