+1 to Reeron although I hope he is being overly dramatic.
I think you will need to move the end caps closer. Look at Nanotuners to see if they have other bulbs besides UVL.
Wet generally will remove more waste than dry since more is being exported to the cup with more water and bubbles.
Those are not T5 bulbs they are Power Compact. UVL offers power compact bulbs, I suggest getting theirs. They wattage may be list as 65. It will...
I don't think so, a 55 or larger seems to offer the best chances from what I have seen. i don't like what I heard from Barbianj either.
They are considered reef safe. Most do not survive long in our tanks because we do not have the right food for them. If you get one do a lot of...
Beautiful adds, congrats
6 to 12 months seem to be the safest range for T5HO bulbs. Pure actinics for around 6, blues for around 9 and daylights for around 12. I go 6 to 9...
I would say over due. I don't think the quality of OEM bulbs are that great. Buy ATI, UVL, KZ and Geisemann bulbs as replacements.
Bad news on the free snails part, they almost never seem to hatch in our tanks. Definitely nerite snail eggs.
Yes you are right about my avatar and I have had no issues with sediment with heavy flow. Same with the birdnest no issues with sediment.
Me too, Steve, thanks for getting my brain in gear this morning.
I would go with birdnest as my second tier group of SPS. I would suggest a Stylophora though for starters.
I don't think it is a technique issue Steve. I realized, now that you mentioned it, that the corals that I have glued to the rocks do encrust more...
Maybe a small wrasse or two.
Beautiful shot Cheryl, hope your STN corals have stabilized or will soon. Take care of your self and be careful with your back.
Looking good, congrats, good to know on the service from AquaticLife, congrats on the new fish.
Beautiful, a 15 long or 20 gallon tank will get you into standard length T5HO bulbs.
I feel the most cost efficient way is to purchase your calcium from bulk reef supply. Dose with your top off water if you manually add it.
We all makes mistakes and have much to learn in the hobby. Just use the mistakes to help you become a better reefer.
