My nitrates range between undetectable and 0.5 ppm and my Red Sea Xenia is thriving. I don't think anyone really knows why it is hit or miss. My...
I wouldn't buy anything coming from China on eBay. I'd stick with a known brand. Look at Current USA, Tek or Giesemann fixtures. Also id you're...
One other thing. There are so many type of bulbs for T5s it could make your head spin. You have a lot of choices and with 6 bulbs you can tweak the...
Most don't come with lights. The ones that come with lights, shouldn't. Either way, plan on buying bulbs with any new fixture.
Is the tank drilled with an internal overflow or are you planning on using an external overflow with a siphon U-tube? If you are planning an external...
You may want to raise the temp of your heater to 80. That will keep the tank temp more stable if your house is warming up during the day.
As far as bulbs go, I'm really happy with the following combination: Front ATI Blue Plus Giesemann Aquablue+ Korallen-zucht Fiji Purple Giesmann...

Make this an opportunity to upgrade to a T5 fixture.

I use T5s only on my 72. SPS corals are growing fast. I have two anemones. I also have a Maxima clam sitting on the sand bed that is also growing....
I do remember seeing a post somewhere about a guy catching his damsels with a hook and line.
Yes and no. You can certainly cut them and frag them but they always grow back. You can try pulling them out with tweezers bit if you leave one cell...
Maybe he likes to look at what's living at the bottom of his stand.
Thanks for the video. I have the same kind. Mine are in about the same amount of current if not a little more. Sure, they're all small and cute now...
I'm all for trying to save money but that's just crazy.
