Also just another thought, as you mentioned a 250MH. A 400w 20000K mh would tend to have similar PAR to a 250w 10000K. However, blue LEDs don't...
Gotcha on the 100 vs 50w, thanks for the clarification. As to replacing the 400w there is a difference between being a suitable replacement and...
Usually people say Stichodactlya tapetum grows to 2 inches, but most of these are sold as mini-carpet anemones or mini-minis. Maxi-mini's do not...
Now, you just said previously " What I have yet to see is an LED of that size provide that output and also provide the spread of a MH." The cannon...
Well, it will be interesting to hear what they say. I certainly wish comparing lights was easy, however, as OrphekUSA said, "it's like apples to...
LMAO, leave it to a sales dept to make ridiculous over-generalized statements. Remember, their job is to sell products though. Pay attention to...
That seems like a lot to start with for a 70g. It could be. I'd also focus on water quality. And really it's likely a combination of factors, flow...
Well, luckily there was a great summary published in Febuary "The Biology and Economics of Coral Growth" Osinga et al. 2011 It was actually...
If you want corals to grow fast, you need light, flow, food and low nutrients. So, I'd say a skimmer is more important in a frag tank thank a...
You said you started seeing problems when you added carbon. How much did you add? Did you raise the amount slowly? GAC is incredibly efficient at...
hmm.. that's odd. it dosn't really look like a sponge to me, but the fragility would tend to suggest it isn't a bryozoan or foram. However, some...
There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, you can't ID a sponge based on growth form. Growth form is determined by flow, turbidity, water...
Also, do they have little fuzzy tufts at the tips?
are they hard or soft?
The CA blog is good, but let's break the question down into it's components and keep it even simpler. - First, energy and light are the same thing....
Well, squirted some seltzer water down the holes with an aptaisia-x syringe, but nothing. Thought I heard some clicking at first, but could have...
And most likely it bites, stings or both! I heal though, and can be foolish, so really I'm more afraid of corals or fish disappearing lol. Sent...
Thanks James, I see them all the time on the substrate, but usually they retract into a peanut when I shine a light on them. Still not sure what's...
Thanks guys. I am actually thinking that the first worm may have been a peanut worm. It was very similar to this....
All of the polyps are open. Always are when the lights are off, that thing is like a vacuum cleaner LOL.
