I have Eric Bourneman's corals book for a coffee table book.
All I know is that my old 5+ year old ATI t5ho reflectors still clean up with water,a nd look practically like new. I have been told by those that...
Or you could go 8 lamp non overdriven;) I was PM'ing with the OP, and while Joe (doc frag) knows I am not a fan of Over Driving t5ho bulbs, I think...
Good deal!
While I agree that a 6000-6500k bulb will be the main cause of algae as well, I recall a pair of tanks in a test, both sharing the same sump, and...
Yeah, that t5 unit does not have individual parabolic reflectors. That is the real reason t5ho are so good. Take away real reflectors, and put a...
I think you already got your answer:)
Yeah, jsust look at the ulbs on the fixture they want to sell you. If it bends over at all, and is not linear across the whole bulb, then it is...
You need to teach him to clean the tank while he is in there;)
This reminds me of when my cousin got a teddy ruxpin for christmas and we made it sing along to metallica.
That eerily sounds like a PC fixture with normal 65w PC bulbs trying to be pawned off as t5ho lights. I have never seen 65w t5s. 2 foot t5ho are...
If you already have a canopy, by all means get retrofits. The teklight is OK, but you can do better for cheaper. If you wanted a no canopy tank,...
pharmrjohn, I am well aware of the PAR and PUR relation. Unfortunately, even the most renowned scientists are not 100% sure exactly how these...
It may or it may not. I wish I could be of more help, but I think it might not work. There are only a few "universal" ballasts out there that light...
Good luck Steve! I hopefully will be doing a set up tank move from one side of town to my house pretty soon. I will start a thread when I get to...
The link Doc posted is ingrained into my head.
That would be hard to tell, there are a ton of variables, including water clarity. Your exact PAR really could only be found with a PAR meter. But...
overdriving t5ho with an icecap 440 or 660 ballast is the difference between HO and VHO t5 bulbs. Are you going to use t5s solely to light the...
T5HO are really not meant to be run at more watts than they are rated at, (t5Vho) but it can be done. IC merely tried out t5HO tubes on their...
well, the 71 is a completely different body style. the 70 boss 429 was a very limited build car. And it is probably the mustang that is wortht eh...
