Looks good to me! How did you cut the slots in the acrylic?
Organic carbon can cause bacterial films. Really just trying to figure out if it is even bacterial or something else. Could also just be something...
no, I meant organic carbon, as in vodka, vinegar, or biopellets, not Granular Activated Carbon. However, if it is bacteria, then GAC may help, so...
That looks more like bacteria or fungus. Do you dose carbon or use biopellets?
Sweet, those Kessil LEDs look awesome. I just wish someone who had some had a PR meter ;D Definitely will have to follow and see how the growth...
Not all algae needs a lot of light. Coralline can sometimes grow on the undersides of rock, just from the light reflecting off the bottom. However,...
Hmm... I seem to have missed this before. Great looking tank :thumb_up:
Unfortunately it's a journal I do not have access to. However, from the AA article "It is still unclear why HLLE does not develop in some aquarists'...
Yeah, I've seen this formula on another forum. As others mentioned, there is no consideration of brand, optics or depth. So, yeah agree, pretty...

What are you planning to keep? If you want to keep anything, anywhere, you'll probably want 60deg optics. You may be able to get away with 80, but...

Oh man, sorry to hear about the leak. Hopefully you'll soon be the proud owner of a nice 40B though :)
+1 It's not that much light really. There may be some corals sensitive to that much light, but most should be able to acclimate to it. What corals...
The lights I listed before would work for a 40B. In addition to Current, Tek, is very good, so is aqua-medic, ATI, Aquatic life. I'd avoid I...
I'm not sure about the black ice genetics. Most likely breeding two black ice OCs will give you a lot of normal ocs, perhaps with some black ice ocs...
If your going with a small skimmer, the tunze is the way to go. Not that I'm recommending a small skimmer :P
That's funny, here is a thread on worst newbie mistakes. I think I counted "seaclone" in 12 posts LOL. It's really a just a complete POS.... sorry...
Yeah, if you touch the bulb and it "tries to come on", I would probably suspect a bad socket over a bulb or ballast. You can get a new one and...
