I agree with Sostoudt, those fixtures usually really under perform compared to other similar systems. Personally, if I had to, I would use it for...
It looks like they aren't high output, I could be wrong, do you know if it is? It won't hurt anything and at 17w will cost less then a dollar to run...
I would use a 250w pendant/fixture. If money is not an issue, I would suggest Sunlight Supplies Maristar 36" fixture. It has 2 250w MH and 2 T5s for...
I think sps are easier then most people think, there's just a stigma about them. I've had very little trouble with my sps which includes different...
You basically cut off the remaining brace and have about 1" sticking out. Think of a dock sticking into the water. Then get a piece of acrylic about...
Since you already have the one 150w MH, I would add another one and use the stunner strips as actinics or moon lights.
Is the frame plastic or does it have a Euro style bracing?
What you can do is cut off the remaining brace to about 1" on either side. then take a strip of acrylic and cut it to fit. drill the acrylic and you...
I wasn't implying that you shouldn't do it, but just wanted to make you aware of some of the issues that have come up with those types of fixtures....
On a 29gal I would be worried about heat more then anything. The corals can adjust to the new light. Personally, I don't trust the no-name brands off...
If you only have a small patch, a real easy fix is to cover it with epoxy, the stuff you use to glue rocks together. Just spread it out, make sure...
From what I get you have about 1/2 daylight and 1/2 actinic/blue. I've had this same problem with my t5s, I've tried lots of different combos but to...
Raising Mg to kill bryopsis only works for some species.
I'm not positive, but they are only 1 watt bulbs, so I don't think you would get much of a shimmer. The Reef Brites are 3w I believe.
Agreed, it's been on my to-do list for a while.
If that's what you want to do, I recommend the Reef Brite LED strips. The cheaper ones, like the ice cap strips and stunner strips are designed more...
I just saw this thread and was about to tell you that. I looked into this a little while back and from researching and hearing many people's...
It's far from ideal for your sized tank. I would go with at least 6 bulbs over that sized tank. I don't like the idea of limiting your selection b/c...
If you run just LEDs, really no matter what LEDs, you'll get a shimmer effect. I think the issue here is whether you can get one with the PC...
That's good news. I experienced the longest power outage so far this past winter at 4 days. I boiled water on our gas stove and put the bottles in...
