I'd guesstimate 6" from the rim gives me somewhere between 25 and 30. That's just based on how long it lasts from that point, but I've never...
I use a Lumenbright Mini-wide reflector. It is designed to be raised approx. 16" above the tank. So, no effect on temp at that height. Fans...
Make sure it has Automatic Temperature Calibration and get calibration fluid. After that, I don't think there is much difference at all between the...
Dchavez, looks like a good start to me. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure which controllers can do weather simulation. Many do dusk to dawn...
And this isn't true of what sand :lol: I've used both, and would say black may show some dirt, but white shows dirt and turns browner. Seachem...
It shouldn't be too difficult to add sand after the fact. Just pour it slowly through a PVC pipe. You can put it where you want it, without a big...
Definitely, the more genetic differences, the less likely hybridization will occur. That doesn't mean it can't happen. However, it will take a lot...
Yes, BRS should be very similar. As far as I know, I don't think they give much details about production and the source though. Not sure the price...
All pellets are biodegradable. The bacteria consumes the carbohydrate polymers hence biodegrate. If it isn't completely biodegradable, then there...
I'm not evolved but the dimable drivers come in "d" or "p" versions. The D is controllable with just a simple knob type controller. The "p" is...
I post a lot, but lurk even more :) definitely have been trying to follow. I think it's a safe bet a lot of other are reading as well. Sent from...
Cool, glad to hear it's working so well for you. Thanks for posting all these updates :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I prefer shallow as denitrification happens in low oxygen zones, which can occur anywhere, even within a bacterial mat on the surface of the sand....
No idea, looks more for freshwater, but don't know. The next cheapest option is probably PAR30 or PAR38 bulbs. These just fit in normal light...
You can search around and find some builds people have done to give you ideas. Here is one detailed one I found with a quick search. note: some...
Yeah Rapid 24 or 36 bulb DIY kit would be good. 36 is most likely overkill, but if you go with the dimable option, you can just dim it. The 24 is...
Agree out of the two options the T-5 is much better. The LEDs will not punch down through 23" of water, unless you go with a much better LED system....
The CPRs are okay, especially with some minor mods. The Reef Octopus skimmers are better out of the box though and you should certainly be able to...
You wouldn't want a maroon with an OC. You could have a pair of maroons and a pair of OCs in different tanks, with shared water between them and get...
Nope do it right and drain it IMO. You can get a rubbermaid tote or something to move your rocks and livestock for a few days while it cures, but...
