I'd did mix blue and whites on mine, but you have to be careful of their max amps. Some LEDs are rated for more than others, and if you overpower...
Yea colour temp blue v white. And by input I meant the amps that the LEDs can handle. Be sure that both the blues and whites are the same rating (A...
He doesn't have enough posts yet to post there, I assume that's why it's here;).
As long as you aren't exceeding the max. input of either of the LEDs there is no reason you can mix the colours on a strand. Just remember that you...
+1 to the above
I guess if cash is strapped then I would just rewire and use what you have so that you have lights. More important though, is why are they burnt out?...
Coralline has many growth forms. That does look like coralline to me (I'm assuming you are talking about the red/burgundy?).
I should mention that john guest and murlock (both plastic quick connect fittings) are quality fittings, I wouldn't trust a dollar store valve (if...
Not sure if you are interested in acrylic, but a quick search I found this https://tropicalfishstore.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=153_197 . Comes with...
Most likely causes are tank's age, flow and nutrients. How old is the tank? What are the params? and what do you have for flow (powerheads and return...
I guess I'd have to ask where you are located? And from there we may be able to find some shops close to you. P.S. I got those tanks and sizes from...

This is exactly how I have mine plumbed. I have a "tee" between the hard line and the flex line on my sink, Then it runs to a ball valve before the...
Those are pretty standard tank sizes, 120 gal (48x24x25) and 150 gal (60x24x25) are fairly widely available. I'm just curious if there is a certain...
Any plastics will leach silicates, if it's a new brute then it will leach some silicates. Until they are gone you very well could see diatoms.
For the most part it would take me longer to put the gloves on, than I'm actually in the tank lol. Guess I'm a little lazy.
Hey Tim, We should always where gloves when doing anything with our tank. There are things that in there that can harm us, and there are things on...
Diatoms feed off silicates. They will be there until the silicates released by the new covers are used up. If it is diatoms, then they will go away...
+1, also BRS sells an "invisible mesh", looks great and doesn't affect the lights.
Looks like a mushroom to me
