My advice is to get a small power head and use that. I always mix salt overnight and never had any major issues. I think your method is much more...
It looks to me like some sort of algae, but I'm not sure what kind.
Cool setup so far. I'm guessing this tank is at Penn State? What lighting are you planning on going with?
Ph is a function of H+ and OH- ions. The more hydrogen ions you have, the lower your PH, more acidic. The higher the Hydroxide ions, the greater your...
If that's the case, I think you can try it. If you want a better chance at success, you may want to consider a gold maxima, generally, they require...
The ATI is better. It has better reflectors and active cooling, although now the Tek Elite does have active cooling as previously mentioned.
I replied to your pm, didn't realize you had a thread too. As far as lighting, it's not too bad, but not great. I think you can get away with it, but...
I hadn't seen how many tangs you have. I highly suggest not making another attempt. To begin with a 135 is pushing it size wise for a naso, they get...
Well, while I like the euphamism "try, try again" I think you should probably give these fish a break for a while. Either you are not getting healthy...
I've had the same issue, usually it was about to die. It looks and acts very lethargic, can't really maintain its "grip" and then just stops moving.
That's kind of what I was hearing from other people, that 150s are good for soft/lps but not the best for sps. This has turned out to be a much...
Another question. I've been hearing that 150w MH may not do the trick and that they are pretty weak. Any opinions on these?
Well, I've been thinking this through a lot and have gone in a slightly different direction. I plan now on using 2 150w pendants with no T5...
I've seen pictures of this done with tanks before. I specifically remember one was a sphere type tank that sat under the tube. I could see doing this...
First, what type of corals you are referring to? Soft, lps, sps? I don't think there is a definitive answer here, but in my mind, the most important...
Your tank is in a great place for this to happen. The algae will hopefully die off and you don't need to worry about corals.
I appreciate the advice. I am torn right now and really need to think what will be the best choice for me right now and in the future. I like the...
Thanks for the shout out.
Well, I've been thinking and now may go with 2 x150w pendants verse the 2x250w fixture. I'm glad I'm taking my time on this as it's making me explore...
Agreed, sell the frag tank, buy a new light. I don't know how you guys have tanks at school, just the hassle of moving in alone was bad enough not to...
