Great fixture- I'm using that same exact model on my 29H reef tank. :) I order my ATI bulbs from Marine Depot. They have competitive prices, fast...
Did you use RO/DI water? What's your salinity? How did you acclimate? Do you have algae growing in the tank? If so, what type(s)? and if not, how are...
Sorry folks, but I can only be as fair as the article. The report read, "Carbon causes HLLE", but in the test, a large amount of UNRINSED carbon was...
Yep, absolutely. :) Once upon a time, carbon was the only media we had, and we used lots of it with no ill effect. Boggles the mind when someone...
+1 110%! 38 years in the hobby, and I've yet to find a valid reason to stop using carbon.
Would they be willing to hold your corals? The fish will be ok, but the corals won't go more than a few days without light. Also, 70 degrees is a bit...
OUCH! Sorry to hear, Dude. What types of corals do you have?
+1 Personally, I prefer to let the algae grow. It's the safest and healthiest way of keeping the water clean until you find and fix the nutrient...
Yes, all crustaceans can regrow lost limbs. After 1 - 2 molts they'll be usable, and will reach full size in just 3 - 4. He should be fine without...
+1 I doubt they're competing for space; I couldn't imagine the colony attempting to crowd itself out as if each head were a different species. You...
The single T8 standard fluorescent bulb won't really grow much of anything. What you plan to keep will determine what lighting system you would need,...
Just thought I'd share this video. Enjoy! :) Soft corals are underrated — Advanced Aquarist | Aquarist Magazine and Blog
A pH reading of 8.0 is fine. 7.8 is low, but still tolerable. If it were out of range, I'd suggest that you test and adjust your cal, mag and alk...
I've always used Windex. Just spray it on your cloth or paper towel while holding it away from the tank to prevent overspray from getting in the...
A filter sock in the sump would trap particulate matter. You will need to clean it frequently as the trapped particles will still break down into...
I'd love to see a pic, as well. Not saying you're wrong, but I've never even heard of one that big. I have, however, seen miniature juvenile electric...
Except for Mason jars- that's a pint (or two). :beer:
Thank you for the clarification, Greg. I respect your experience and knowledge. As a long-time snake handler, I learned early just how easy it is to...
I did the very same thing, except I used what I wanted from an old 55g setup to fill my current 29, and I've had no issues. Once it's been dry for so...
Tank is killer, Cheryl! Stylo is nice, too. Congratulations. ;)
