They are sensitive to Ammonia and PH swings ... neither of which should be a problem in a well cared for reef tank. Other than that, you've overcome...
10k are too yellow for my taste. 20k look nice, but you sacrifice too much coral growth. 14K are a nice middle ground.
Birdsnest are fairly easy to keep (for an SPS) but they are horrible shippers. If you can't find a healthy one locally, consider buying something...
Ah! I didn't realize it (washing soda) was hard to find in some areas. I guess there are advantages to living in the midwest. Pickling Lime and...
Not that washing soda is particularly expensive in the 1st place....
I don't know the name, but it's a type of anemone. You'll find that it walks around a bit if you move it to less light. I've had a couple and they...
Mine's not too bright ... it just goes with the flow.
6500K will usually give the best coral growth per watt. Anything higher is for looks.
Really? I've never heard that. Can you post a link or something to a good source of information? I have heard that Halimeda uses a lot of calcium,...
Well, it certainly could be dead, though MH bulbs usually last a lot longer than reefers keep them. Unfortunatly, the ballast could be to blame too....
Bruce, I'm not trying to get on your case! I just wanted to clarify what people thought about Karma so we could all be on the same page. If people...
When in doubt, GET IT OUT! Why risk your coral?
It's always fun to get karma ... but what's the point if we just have "free karma" threads? Isn't it kind of like eBay feedback? Thoughtful posts...
It is more likely that it died due to the overall change than from a specific difference. Sometimes the shock of being moved is all it takes to put...
I have a pair of cleaner shrimp and a pair of peppermint shrimp that have been in my tank since it was set up about a year ago. All are doing fine....
Yes, that's overfeeding! ;D Honestly, though, there is no such thing as overfeeding if you have enough nutrient export. (Say a 50g display...
I'm not trying to be crabby, really! :tongue4: By definition, though, there is just no way a 20k and 6.5k bulb can have the same CRI. In this...
Well, I've had MH for less than a year, and I've changed the bulbs twice already! Once because I wanted a bluer bulb that the 10k, and the second...
Not everything cheap is skimping ... but it's better to be safe than sorry!
Hmmm, I'd be skeptical of a bulb that cheap. Not all 10k bulbs are created equal. Check out this page and you'll see what I mean.
