Yes, you can keep anything with T5s, you just need the right spectrum and amount. As I said before, I suggest a 6 bulb fixture that has individual...
You could use a skimmer for a much larger tank, but as for flow and lighting, I think it will just be too much. A smaller tank will help you get...
What exactly do you mean by this? Do you mean for a future transfer to a larger tank?
I would recommend a 6 bulb fixture, It won't limit as much as to what corals you can get.
Honestly, this is an oxymoron in relation to reef lighting as PharmrJohn said.
I have a 55gal too and if yours is a standard size tank, the width makes it really hard to get a good aquascape. I had the rock in the middle at...
If I found that in my tank, I would take the tank down put some gasoline into into and light it on fire.
This isn't entirely true, you can cycle a tank with all base rock, adding lr may help to make the cycle faster but it is not necessary. You are right...
I would suggest getting a clean up crew if you haven't already, that will help with the algae. All new tanks go through an algae phase, it will pass...
Tank is looking really nice. It is very cool to see something that is different like this.
Anyone with any experience with these bulbs?
When you listed all of the things you would trade for it, I was about to give you my tank. I agree that the 29 isn't anything special nor is any of...
It was probably waste or could be a stray cyno strand that got caught on it, probably waste though.
On a 55, I would suggest two 150 watt MH and supplementary T5 lighting. The 2x250 watt fixture you linked to is a lot of light, which isn't necessary...
Make sure you put a rock or shell underneath of it so it doesn't attach to the bottom of the tank. Nice addition.
I'm having a little trouble following exactly what you do. What many people do, including myself, is get the RO/DI water in a bucket or whatever you...
Looks really nice so far, let the cycle begin!
That's true to some extent, but if would be equivalent to adding the two new tangs to the 55. You still need time between adding livestock for the...
Some clams bore into the rock such as crocea and maxima clams. I don't now if dersea clams do too. It may be because they don't bore into the rock,...
Your first statement is correct, base rock is dead rock. However, you next two statements are incorrect. Cured rock is the same as live rock. All...
