Picked up a sad looking little torch coral today.
I use about the same process. I agree works like a charm. The dip in still salt water is KEY!!
Make sure you set them lightly into the super glue. If you press them into it the glue will harden all the way around them encasing them in glue and...
The irony of this is right before I got into reefs I was working for an independent testing laboratory. A light testing lab! We had more testing...
CUC is key. I haven't touched my glass sand or rocks in about 3 months now. It stays sparkling clean on it's own. Visit reefcleaners.org and they...
They can reattach, but I would glue them to be on the safe side.
Ooh shinny.
I agree with what everyone is saying. Still not perfect. In the end there are just too many variables to truly calculate what a light will do on your...
I think I need to buy one.I just thought of a basic test you could run to check how much light fall off you have. This is assuming you have a pretty...
Wow that is deep! Don't worry too much though your on the high side of watts/per linear foot of tank I've seen so far.
It's possible that a MH BULB will cover 2' X 2' however the reflector can spread that light over a bigger area which drops the output to any one...
They will both be awesome systems for a fresh water tank. Both have built in wet/dry filtration and great lighting. I would make your decision based...
As I'm working on this compilation of how much light corals are being kept under successfully. I came to a realization of a much better (still not...
Ya, did you see he asked the ref to just get it started already too? You could tell he was getting sick of the little show.
Yep the coralline algae and bacteria will spread from the live rock and before you know it all your rock will be live rock. Using base rock for most...
How long is your tank?
That is a sweet idea. K+
OMG! LMAO!!! That one got me going.
You will want to start by getting sand, dry rock and a little bit of live rock rubble. about 5% of the total rock you want in the tank should be live...
I agree. There really is no good way to chart every coral there is and be able to guarantee that it will work under someone's given lighting and...
