Out of the two, definitely the aquatic life. The big thing with T-5s though is the reflectors. Without good reflectors, you won't get a lot of...
Most reef tanks only have live-rock and possibly some macro algae such as cheato and some type of mechanical filtration, such as GAC and/or a protein...
First, they are not effective at nutrient reduction compared to macro algae. Second, they grow into big trees, not really something you put in an...
I had a couple corallife digitals and they were both off by many, many degrees. Absolute junk. Most digital thermometers aren't very good...
Hey, happy birthday Cheryl :party007:
What is in the tank anything other than softies? It sounded like this is a softie tank? If it's a mixed reef, I think gabbyr189s comments were a...
I was told by the coralvue rep that the mini-wides are designed to be 14-16" water to bulb. I don't think you'll have an issue with splashing or...
Well, sounds like you need a bigger sump; what's the problem? :P The BPs should drop your nitrates and phosphate. If phosphate is rising though,...
I think that's too fast IMO and they shouldn't be run together. GFO should be run, just so the surface starts to move a bit. Carbon, should not...
They grow fast, especially if you feed them. Really can be one of the fastest growing corals out there.
I don't see a problem either way. To get things moving, I've often set up tanks before the sump was ready. Just put all the rocks and everything in...
powder browns are aggressive and active. Definitely do best in a bigger tank if possible. 6' length is usually the normal recommendation. Of...
I'd go with 4. I have a 70W MH, plus two PAR30s, with 60 degree optics over a 29 and if I turn of the halide, less then 1/2 of the tank is really...
What do the fish look like when they die? Is there any redness or blisters? There are some diseases such as Uronema which tend to kill newly added...
Well, you have had three fish die... Usually fish don't do that, so, something is going on and it probably isn't a bad idea to figure out what...
I add kalk and vinegar, but most people shouldn't add anything but water... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Anything oil based should be very hydrophobic and not very soluble. It would most likely end up floating on the surface and should be removed...
Coralline algae prefers lower light. However, it should eventually adjust, but it can take many months.
Alright! Do you think I could get away with 2 on a 48 x 24 x 24 120g? Or do you think I should go with 3? :smartass:
