Interesting. I've heard a number of people recently complain that pellets don't work as well as other carbon sources. I have no idea, so, that is...
Great work getting this going Steve. Very exciting! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry to hear that. Definitely keep an eye on the other for velvet. It's very well established that dinofalagellate cysts can lay dormant for years...
Great tanks N3MATOCYST, thanks for posting here on 3reef ;D
That sucks, very cool fish; sorry to hear that....
CFs are extremely energy inefficient, you won't get near the output of a T-5.
I used a current Sundial fixture. Pretty basic, did have moonlights and timers and and individual reflectors. Less money, but I don't think they...
Cool, I'm interested to see how it works. Probably wouldn't be bad to have a few buckets in case though :)
On my 30" 29g I had a 4xT-5. Worked great, certainly plenty of light. The T-5s will be 30" fixtures with 24" bulbs though. You could get a 24"...

Ha, not from me ;) Just need to avoid waste. You can feed as much as you want as long as it is being exported or consumed before it is broken down...
+3 look forward to seeing your progress. The lava rocks can sometimes be a source f heavy metals though. For an inexpensive rock, tufa is probably...
I haven't used them, but some people I know rave about them. Sorry I can't help more than that. Certainly dosn't sound very impressive from your...
Some possible reasons for fading (you've covered some, but still maybe they will give you ideas) : 1) Strong lighting I think this is possible,...
Would be nice if they had more pictures, but very cool tanks. I'd especially like to learn more about the NPS section in the 180. NPS tanks really...
Inability to keep macro algae usually means a nutrient imbalance or limitation, not that the water is too clean. It's pretty much impossible to...
