I was planning on doing just that with a bulkhead I'm getting from gl*******s as well, so may I ask what kind of thread the bulkheads use?
There's nothing all too much to test for in FOWLR. Nitrate, phosphate, pH, and possibly alk are the only ones I can think of for an established tank....
That's interesting. I had a red grape kelp a while ago that grew like mad under the 6x39w fixture, with slightly worse bulbs. It only "died" because...
There is one on the Spectrapure canisters, and I think that would be the problem as well.
I just read John's email that said my lighting is too bright and it likely shocked the grac.
Wow, following. I have the same issue with some gracilaria I got from RC as well. My chaeto and mangroves are doing ok, it's just the gracilaria that...
Heh, that would be a fun food source to provide.
I don't need 3. :P
The Tek lights have a passive cooling system with vents on top, so cooler air from below flows over the bulbs and keeps them at a decent temperature....
This is a creature I would set up a species tank for, regardless, since I wouldn't leave a single rock face where it couldn't be seen ;D
He must've been about as tired as he looked then after that solo lol
You need a box, otherwise you'll just keep siphoning out water from the tank, even if the return pump stops for any reason. The siphon also won't...
That's amazing! I want to know about the salinity too; it rains a bunch in Florida, but maybe not enough at any given time to give a big spike?...
Wowzers, that's a nice little dilemma you have there. "Too many nice corals". I'm in favor of either a temporary housing like a rubbermaid, or...
As long as it's a tiny tang, it's not a big deal, especially when there's a tank it's going into in short order. I wouldn't encourage it as a regular...
You should use a skimmer if you're keeping anything toher than fish, for sure. Also, "just fine" isn't really good for us to help you with. We need...
Either that, or problems with scaling the manufacturing process to reliably produce large sizes or thicknesses.
ReefCleaners lists cyano as being eaten by ceriths, nerites and blue leg hermits. The ceriths may be because of the raw numbers he provides, which...
I don't know about those ballasts, so I can't say. I can tell you that overdriving will decrease the lifespan of the bulbs significantly. The bulbs...
Yeah, the T5 will give you a higher amount of light per watt (with at least decent bulbs), and the better selection of bulbs to choose from.
