mine do this as well. I had assumed it was part of pairing. The male almost exclusively does it (though I have caught the female doing it) and it's...
If there are two, I would suspect one is an "in" and the other is an "out" for the hot. For the three, add a ground in. Do you have access to the...
Biocube 29 PC to LED conversion This is a DIY. You won't need 19 Crees. Even using 19 Crees (think $7 a bulb, roughly) and two drivers ($40 each)...
All inhabitants seem rather happy with the new lighting. The RBTA is doing a bit of walking, but it's always around the same rock (near the top)....
For whatever it's worth, my RBTA will stay in a spot for a couple weeks then decide it wants to tour the tank a little... find another spot and...
It isn't receding at all right now, and I certainly don't want to do anything to make it recede. These things are supposed to like sitting on the...
Would you leave the skeleton that's vertical? I realize the brain coral is using part of it, but I could sand off the ridges on the open side to...
It's a constant battle keeping debris off the old skeleton. That's why I started removing some of the old. The acans don't look so hot because they...
So would you leave the old skeleton or remove it?
I bought this brain coral (discounted) at the LFS because half of its skeleton was showing. This was a couple months ago. One of the employees said...
Thanks. I just converted the tank to LEDs, so we'll see if I can make that happen. I think if I leave them around the edges, they should do ok. My...
I spot feed 2-3 times a week. I'm still deciding where I want to mount them. These are my first acans. $100 shipped for all 3. I was surprised how...
The pics aren't the best... I set their frag plugs in the sand in the corner of the tank to help acclimate them to the LEDs for a bit....

An RBTA can be done in a 2 month old tank... just as long as your tank is stable.
Their 5' long bulb had 2000 lumens. By contrast, 2 of my XM-L bulbs of the 8 in my Biocube 29 hood fixture can put out 1800 lumens. Radio Shack...
I was a bit surprised as well at how fast it worked. It wasn't hardly any time at all until it moved directly where I wanted it to. And now with...
So, I was in the process of switching to LED lighting from the stock BC 29 PC lighting and the last couple days before everything came in, the RBTA...
It's in the hood and back on the tank. [IMG] Here's a Before... [IMG] Taken at ISO 100, f/5.0, 1/3 second shutter Modifying the hood to allow enough...
Thanks... It'll be super clean and look just like the regular Biocube 29. I'm excited. I opend the lid and held half of it over the water and it...
