;D hmm... I found this on the web, it might help John Obsessive Compulsive Reef Disorder*|*Dedicated to Reefkeeping and Saltwater Aquariums...
MHs are awesome lights, It would certainly work great for SPS too. What I was saying is that they are not efficient due to the shape of the tank....
Thanks clonefarmer :) Yes, it is an acro, I'm not good with names and ids though LOL. Here is a shot from the other side however: [IMG]
Great shots Steve. Re: flow: You may have read this already, but it is a really good article on flow. It sheds some light on the various...
I have both on different tanks. Go with the 6". If sump flow through is kept reasonably low (i.e. lower than the ratting of the skimmer pump and...
+1 What Clonefarmer said and to add, a T-5 with individual reflectors will focus the light much better, so, you will need much lower total Watts and...
I've seen a few matrixs around. Usually they are okay, but corals can vary so much, even within species. It's not just SPS either. When I was...
Congrats and welcome. People do some great things with those tanks, I'm sure you'll be addicted in no time :)
ha very cool, I think I read something about them in your other thread. Hopefully they will keep you preoccupied for a while until the new tank...
It should, from here, it is extremely toxic to most phytoplankton: Poly(oxyethylene) (dimethylimino) ethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene dichloride -...
That's a natural mix, but a Maroon is very agressive and will likely kill a small BTA. The BTA would need to be several times larger than the clown...
WOW, got :pics: :drool: ;D
What type of clown and nem? If not a natural pair, or a tank raised clown it's anyones guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The key point is no coral can thrive 100% on light alone. They need food. If there is any easy way to provide live food, that will not decay and...
Well, you are wrong, LPS corals do catch prey from various zones of the reef using their sweeper tentacles. The fact that you've seen a "tentacle...
Well said, diy sumps give you what you need for a fraction of the cost. It may be easier to just buy something, but rarely does one size really fit...
You are probably referring to amphiopods. LPS corals have sweeper tentacles for this purpose. Also Zooplankton is a primary component of most...
The "dead ones" are probably just moltings BTW. My plumbing gets full of them and then when I do a water change, or mess with the sump there are...
Mangroves are not very good are removing nutrients from the water, so, I wouldn't count on being able to feed more without worrying about N or P....
Cool, go for it, they are a great challenge and a unique addition. I have always been fond of them, but have not had a system that is well suited...
