Welcome to 3reef. 2 2 bulb fixtures would work great. Start off with 1 fixture and keep LPS and soft corals then start keeping SPS when you get the...
You would be running the bulbs with 14W of power instead of 18W. They wouldn't be as bright or put out as much energy if they were getting 18W.
I would get a 4 or 6 bulb T5HO fixture like a Tek of ATI and use ATI bulbs in them. for the 4 bulb use 2 Blue Plus, 1 Purple Plus and 1 Aquablue...
I suggest using carbon and changing it every two weeks if you are not already. This should help with the chemical warfare. Check your parameters...
I agree with both posts. Make sure you cut at least 1/4" back in the good flesh when you frag the coral.
Use the float switch for your ATO. You can use an Aqua Lifter if your evaporation is low, other wise I would suggest use a pump with greater flow....
They are normal output. You will want a 4X39W T5HO fixture for your tank.
It is a pencil urchin and they are generally reef safe.
Thanks, they will as your system becomes more stable and the corals get larger. The corals grow faster the larger they get.
Latin genus names definitely.
I am considering one also. I have 2X425, 2X750 and 2X1050. The 2X750 are set on a wavemaker function on my controller. I am considering having...
They spawning is by polyp bail out or true spawning. If by ail out it can damage corals where ever it touches. It takes a while for colonies to...
Very nice corals, I think you are right on the yuma. If it has tentacles on the mouth it is a yuma, floridas do not. I think you are right on the...
That is the standard 24" bulb. Enjoy
Dang that should have been plenty.
Love the rock work. Cameras will take a different color than we see without a lot of white balance.
It should color up if the conditions and lighting are right. The anemone on the base is aiptasia. The flat growth is most likely the same coral as...
Bummer Mike, how often were they getting fed? I have read 3+ times a day is needed.
Good choices, I would use the Aquablue Special over the other 2 bulbs unless you want a very blue tank. Place them front to back Blue Plus Aquablue...
Congrats on your new light. I suggest mounting the fixture on the tank or on the legs if it comes with it. Odyssea appears to use NO T5 ballasts or...
