I'm sure, on a large scale there are different perspectives regionally. With the internet though, people see something, and try it; often without...
No secret, they are just a big and very active fish, with a high metabolism. They need a very large tank and a LOT of food.
hey I really like that aquascape. I'm not sure the German methods are very different. Most experienced reefers here, don't use bioballs for...
The 12V Koralis are the controllable kind. They go on the more expensive wave-controller. The smart wave is just a simple on/off timer for 120V...
Yes, if there is a decent dimable retro ballast available.
Your correct, although, I would never consider spending thousands on a skimmer. Reef Octopus, E-shops etc... all work fine. In fact, a take home...
I've been hearing good things about the LET t5 lately. I haven't used them though.
That is a great way to add spectrum. I don't know of a dimable T-5 retro kit though. Whether or not 15"-16" above the tank gives any PAR depends on...
If you don't have any livestock, remove them now. It's preferable to have bacteria colonizing the liverock, as opposed to the bioballs. I don't...
Looks like he's just fighting his reflection. Pretty common in tangs IME. Don't see anything I would consider abnormal. They can be a bit "tweaky"...
Awesome picture Jake, thank you for posting. Looks like the reefs are doing pretty good there?
Sorry, missed this... Some think carbon dosing, such as vodka or vinegar dosing may help, as it drives bacterioplankton. Also, dosing silica may...
Corals may use blue light better, but blue light is higher energy. It takes more energy to produce the same amount of blue light, as say yellow or...
You can google reefkoi. I agree a diy is a great way to go too.
That's a great tank! I always liked the 33Ls, but you don't see them that often. You can keep a lot. Are you planning to have a cover? Some of the...
Not much power and doesn't mention optics. May be okay for LPS and Softies though. I am not familiar with the company. For less expensive LEDs, I...
Nice, congratz :)
Well, you'll save more money up front with the T-5s. You'll have a lot of bulbs to replace though, which would be my main hesitation. Also, the...
well, 18"-6"=12" so, that would be about 28 degree optics.
No, some sponges harbor zooxanthellae and are therefore photosynthetic and can bleach. What type of sponge are you referring to?
