If you are planning a retro I would use Aquactinic SLRs as they are the thinest, only 2" wide. You COULD cram 8 bulbs that way. Most other reflectors...
No offense Current USA lovers out there but there fixtures are pretty "entry" level. Even the PRO with its "SLRs" are a poor choice for someone that...
So let me back this up.... You used Malachite green in a tank of inverts? Sorry about your losses but I have a few questions.. How big is the tank?...
I would add 5 or so of the blue leg dwarf or the red leg dwarf.... They stay small are predominately herbivorous and will help clean up food scraps...
I will try to post pics with the levels on it soon, just having trouble with the old computer. As far as PAR levels are concerned...with 60" bulbs...
A decent 24" T5 will grow any of those inverts. Heck a 30" PC fixture will grow any of those inverts. Happy decisions!
We had this discussion a little before.... I know you are researching which is GOOD! but dont start adding corals quite yet to the tank..... PCs are...
On my 8X80 I have 2 Giesemann 6000k, three each of the Giesemann Aquablue+ and Actinic+... I am thinking about swapping a 6000k for a Aquablue+...
In my eyes getting a 36" unit will only waste you money and electricity... I would opt for one MH pendant or a QUALITY 24" t5 unit. The over hang of...
All skimmers will take about 48-72 to fully "break in"... Until then the skimmer will spew all sorts of bubbles into the tank. Unfortunately with the...
I would do 250's...
All you need to do is wire the waterproof endcaps... One side(hot wire) will go in one port, you then need to jumper to the other port. You do this...
With those dimesions I would say 4-6 T5s would be sufficient to grow even SPS in the tank. Depending on the clam and where its placed it would most...
I envy you guys who have time to do a build properly... Not rush into it or move 3 tanks in a day to get a new one!! :-D Good luck!
You bring up a good point about the ends bluephish... To some that is a bad selling point. I honestly don't believe it reflects upon the quality of...
Typically when you have to of the same species of coral they will NOT sting each other but I have seen acanthastrea echinatas sting each other. I am...
Guitar.. I would go with ATI or Giesemann bulbs.... I know I sound like a broken record.... If you are looking for PAR values ATI average the most...
Gmann-Aquablue mixed with Actinic+ or for ATI Aquablue mixed with Blue+. A 1:1 ratio will be pretty blue heavy but not overwhelming. Personally I...
Yeah... I thought I would hear something about the 'its not a purse, call it a bag' comment to my son before being found out on the child labor...
