Are you referring to perceived coloration or an actual physical change due to pigment production? Certainly, certain pigments will "glow" in...
In the scientific literature, as far as I've found uv is bad. Nothing I've come across suggests it's good, but I'm very interested if Mike or...
Yeah, I don't know about the uv thing. Some people think uv improves coloration and may even be beneficial. However, in the scientific literature,...
Crabs are scavengers. If they're hungry, they'll eat anything that they can.
Cool, how big is it when it contracts though :P They are a great part of the CUC as others have said. Even the big ones are not a problems,...
Yeah, bring her with you to pick out a few corals, fish etc... and always refer to them as "hers". Best if they are easy ones, that will do well...
Xenia does not have mouths. I believe there are a few others, although off the top of my head, I can't remember which others this is true of...
I doubt many people have cube sumps, so, you may have to use some improvising. It looks like there are some on the web, if you search. Here are two...
Thanks heidimi. Mines actually only been going since about January. Most of it was from smaller, well established nano tanks, that had been going...
I checked and IIRC it came out about $65 to $100 less, but that didn't include hardware to hang it and such. Still should be a bit cheaper though.
MoJo, I feel like 250 is overkill on 93g LOL. However, I also have supplemental lighting for dusk to dawn that helps some. Also, the spectrum is...
It should have corals, anemones and other inverts, but the kind that live in cooler water. Also, they will likely be non-photosynthetic varieties....
hehe, I'm not down on it, I'm just running out of room ;) I'd trade though, heck I wouldn't mind those leds either :lol:
The packaging does have the kelvin rating. Zooming in on the picture of the light, in the packaging, I can't read the kelvin rating, but from the...
It's OK. For the price you can do better though. The 250 is really more than you need for an 18" deep tank, but you can if you want. You may have...
A lot of people use electrical conduit. You could certainly do it with wood instead though. As to the sump, what about a 15g?. It would be...
LOL, that's awesome, I like that :) The dsb logic is a bit flawed really. It assumed that the primary means of denitrification, in our systems was...
planeria flatworms don't kill corals or fish, but I don't want them :P Also, most desirable organisms are more sensitive and won't survive a cycle....
Except the utility costs would be higher than a 150W or 175W MH. It's 6 x 39W = 234W. and it still isn't spaced well. 2 x 3 bulb fixtures spaced...
Beautiful tank, you've really set it up well. I'm jealous though, I wanted the 150, but only had room for the 93g LOL. The only thing that can...
