You plan to keep your tank at 93 degrees? Are you cooking dinner or trying to keep fish alive in there? ;) That's really hot, most people keep in...
There's a good chance they survived, I would put it back in the tank.
That light fixture is so common it is certainly not too much light for your fish. I would guess they were intimidated by the camera and the change in...
Here's another great resource for sump info. Are you using live rock? If you are there really isn't a need for bioballs or anything else it's just...
Both are fine for aquariums filters, that's what they sell it for, not for RO units, the RO carbon cartridges are different. The ROX is better in the...
You might have to put some valves after the T so you get the appropriate flow rate through your chiller. I'm not sure that you'll have enough flow to...
Ah looks like DFS has better prices on it, $13 for about 1lb. Still 4.5lbs of kalk for $12 is still a much better deal even though you need to buy a...
I believe it's kalk w/ magnesium/strontium added. I don't know anyone that uses it, looks too expensive to me, much cheaper to just use regular kalk...
Let it evaporate down, if you took some water out you may need to add some saltwater back in once your water level comes back down to keep your...
I have a 2 bulb nova extreme fixture. It's really on the lower end of T5 fixtures, you get what you pay for. It really depends what type of coral...
Ah good point, didn't think of that. Love the dimensions either way, wish I had the space for one like that.
Looks really nice, the volume calculator that I checked says you might be closer to 150gallons though depending if those are outer or inner...
I think the 3500 fits the tank better as well. It will use less electricity and add less heat than a 6500 as well. The only way I would go with a...
I'm not sure I understand the question because unless you use retrofit kits and overdrive the bulbs with Icecap ballasts all T5 bulbs of the same...
With power compact (PC) lights you need to be much more aware of your coral placement. Most SPS will only thrive high up in the tank. Personally I...
I personally would play it safe and change a percentage of the bulbs every week or two.
That sounds OK, although I think most people usually put the skimmer in the same section as the pipe from their overflow and then put the LS and LR,...
I personally think ph test kits are pretty worthless, like you're finding out they aren't very precise and very hard to read, at least for me. A...
I personally don't like the idea of true actinics, more than 1 anyway, they don't have very good PAR output and are more for bringing out certain...
Half blue and half daylight/aquablue is pretty common. If you think it might be too blue you could always order an extra aquablue since you're going...
