Don't take what I said about bleaching to be too big of a concern, I keep many different types of coral under my T5s such as acros, birdsnests,...
What made you take it down originally? Set it back up?
I don't run MH right now, but when I do, the Phoenix 14k is what I'm going to be using, it's a very blue bulb but I really like the color of it.
On second thought, why do you want to get rid of them? They are beneficial in that they naturally filter the water. They don't do any real harm to...
Take them out and sell them to a lfs for store credit.
Here's a brief list of some general values you should be aiming for. Ammonia - 0ppm Nitrite - 0ppm Nitrate - <10ppm, but this can depend on what you...
Your getting into dangerous waters by asking that question. Just understand that there is no "best" lighting setup. There are advantages and cons to...
Just as a warning, vodka dosing can be very effective, but can also result in disaster if not done properly, anyone thinking about trying it should...
Probably a pretty good one. I cycled some dry base rock and got pretty high ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, but it only took about 2 weeks to cycle....
Those prices are fine, very reasonable. BTW, really nice job on posting each step w/ pics.
There's basically 3 "types" of Mh lighting systems out there. There is a fixture, also sometimes called a canopy, don't know why, that has everything...
You also want to think about top heaviness, building the stand too tall can result in an unstable tank, especially if you throw a hood on top of it...
That seems like a waste, you still can't be sure it won't affect your tank in some way, I would much rather be safe then sorry. After all of the time...
I just hand tightened it, it's hard to say how tight is right. Good luck with it.
I would pick that up ASAP!
Sorry, never happened to me, don't know what's wrong.
My guess is that it's silicate based, although it could be limestone. I wouldn't do it for aesthetics and you don't know what could happen.
Try loosening the nut on the impeller assembly. My wet side would do the same thing after I cleaned it and overtightened that nut. It could also be a...
Next time, don't acclimate the fish for so long, just temperature acclimate them by sticking the bag in the tank for 15-20 min. Then add a little...
Very good deal, online you'll pay $30+ a head for nice rainbow acans, other reefers usually sell them at $10 a head, so $5 a head is really good. Get...
