Yes, ATI bulbs, especially the blue + are steps beyond every one else's bulbs. And their cost is the lowest of all the good brands of t5s. the fiji...
Yeah, she is in the sump. Maybe I can set up a smaller cube upstairs with a nem in it for her to enjoy. And if I ever catch blue bastard the...
Dottybacks can and usually are pretty mean buggers. Moonchaser, where did you buy the rainfordi?
Well, my new Scott's fairy wrasse and Red mandarin are in the tank sleeping. No issues with the current residents, probably because I waited until...
I don't take it as argumentative at all either. :) A good debate is a good thing. Regarding possible powerhead issues... You will need sure...
Are you certain you want to do a closed loop? There are pluses and minuses to that as well, just to make sure you think that over as well;)
If the anemone is on a rock, and the rock is placed near other rocks, it will be very unlikely that the anemone would detach completely and have any...
I'm glad yours are starting to swim around already. ZMy wrasse and mandarin came about 3 minutes until 3pm. They are drip acclimating now and doing...
That I think was the melanurus wrasse. Nice wrasses! My order has not yet arrived....
Yes, just make sure to rinse it off well before use. It works much better than vinegar. Most of our vinegar is so watered down that it is not that...
I don't see any stalks, so maybe not caulastrea as I originally thought as well. Can you post more pictures of it?

I would run a 10-12k MH, and 2 ATI blue+ t5ho, or yo could go with some other actinic / blue type of t5ho to add to the MH.
The nova extreme pro has individual reflectors for each bulb. The non pro extreme has a single reflector for all the bulbs. The pro is a nice unit,...
If you guys don't want to spend the $$ on lumenbright, lumenmax, and other pricier pendants, you can get the ones I got from an ebay store. They...
Also, eariler in the thread, someone mentioned that 10k MH bulbs don't make great light fro growout purposes. While the iwasaki 6500k 250w halides...
See that's the beautyof t5ho, even is you try to consider them as supplemental lights to the MH, the fact is they put out a lot of PAR when you have...
Definitely go with t5ho over PC. Unless your tank is shorter than the available t5 bulbs, PC has no advantages over t5ho. Less energy wasted,...
Powerman, perception alters reality. ;) Since my skimmer is louder than my overflows return to the sump (nearly silent), it's a moot point....
