Gotta love California power.
Meh.
Weird, my 2x250 MHs do not need a chiller. Mine is sitting in the garage waiting to be sold.
So where are you getting your .12/kwh from? Some folks have outrageous power costs.... which is how you get to outrageous bills. However.......
Just like Guitar Man said watts are watts. It's simple math. Also..... you needs to look at how you will actually be running your lights. First 8...
If the wet side separates, the dry side will just hang by the cord holder. So ya, you need it and it needs to be above it. My 40 is on the same side...
Ya, I think you have enough flow for your corals, but look into the flow through your rocks and what you have hiding in there.
Personally, I would get a strong powerhead and blow out your rocks and see what comes out. Turkey basting isn't enough. With your returns going...
You need to figure out how much water you will siphon back from your tank when the pump is off. 15G is sort of small, but it can work. You really...
Hummmm... not really sure now that you ask. So in the live rock, waste is deposited, ate by a brittle star, deposited again, broke down by nitrite...
Feel free to pass on the hook up.
Well, the lower the K the better the growth, but not to say he isn't indeed getting good growth. I think I'm getting good growth with the P14Ks, but...
So then what about flow velocity??? It's easy to say turn over rate, but not too sure about how to figure out how to get into that sweet spot of...
Cool.... getting wet. I do like my Pheonix 14Ks. Lots to like, but I'm curious about others. I might try a Ushio 12k and try to get more growth....
I have been spinning on how to divide a tank and get the flow I want. Originally, I liked the idea of a long tank with a end overflow. what I'm...
Yep, that will help. Take some sixty grit and really rough it up well too.
Cool. Sounds like you have it covered. Just a minor imbalance. Something caused the little upset, but it should recover.
An ATS is just a screen to grow a different macro algae. Macro algae in the fuge or on a turf scrubber is pretty much the same thing.
I seriously doubt you have zero nitrates or zero PO4. You would have no algae. Your algae is consuming the nitrates which is why you read zero. Just...
Wow, you really put a lot of thought itno things. I like it. Sounds very interesting. I like the idea. Like stucco. I would only be concerned with...
