Changed out all my bulbs. 20K radiums and 4 T5 ATI bulbs, 3 actinic, 1 Blue plus
I always add a little prime just incase. Darn chloramines
They make a nice 4 bulb fixture at home depot that would work great for freshwater. Not sure if it's HO T5 but for freshwater it doesn't matter. OP,...
A lot. I was told every 6 months. There not expensive. I got a dual in line TDS meter to help me see when my filters need replaced.
There's a difference between Radions and evergrows, same as T-5 fixtures. As long as you get good quality bulbs then I'd think your good.
Get an Ro/di unit, you'll be much happier. They will pay for themselves in the first month. I trusted a few LFS with water and I ended up with hair...
OP, is your tank 4' long? I have a 125 and it's 6' long. I would be more concerned keeping a Kole tang with a Niger trigger versus being over...
Not sure but I bought a 50gpd coralife ro/di and love it. Not expensive and after 2 weeks I've saved more money than what I spent on the unit. I...
T-5 light is awesome. However, quality fixtures matter. Individual reflectors make a world of difference versus one reflector. I've seen some of the...
As long as it's not anhydrous. OP, if your gonna add ammonia look into Dr. Tim fish less cycle. I would take corallines advice and do fish food....
Welcome to 3 reef. You'll find all the info you need here. Any questions just ask away
If your looking for something small and not expensive look at coralife skimmers. ATO I'm not sure of, never used one. Since you have a classroom I'd...
Don't worry about the leather bud. Mine go through stages of looking horrible for months then all of a sudden there great. Plus they shed as well. It...
I would get a skimmer and a reactor for bio pellets. I wouldn't do a sterilizer since it kills a lot of the microorganisms you might be teaching...
Wow, I feel dumb now. Lmao. My next reef will be bare bottom for sure. I'm done with sand.
The tank looks great
I agree with OFK, I wouldn't go crazy looking for a leak. Let things settle, I've seen wood leak water for 48 hours before. I would just put things...
That's awesome cam. Love the black sand. So far all the zoas and palys have opened up. I don't have good polyp extension on the mille but it seems...
Fungia or possibly cycloceris tenuis
Very nice tank and great scape. I spot feed all my corals. Honestly I feed about 15 different foods but you can range from zooplankton like reef...
