Are you gonna be using live sand? If so don't rinse it at all. Its pretty much personal preference in what order you do this. I prefer rock, sand...
The fixture in using is a 36" quad T-5. The bulbs are 39 watts each, do you think that will still be efficient at 30" above my sand bed? I really...
My fixture came and I'm ordering my ATI bulbs tomorrow so I want to make sure I get the correct spectrum for my LPS corals, clams and fish. I was...
Awesome trach. Cool colors
My new fixture just came today so I'm gonna order ATI bulbs. In my other fixture I'll replace the 6500k for a 10k. Thanks guys.
Thanks Dan, that makes perfect sense. It's pretty cool to see the LPS change shapes to recieve light and the fact that they can do that is even more...
Thank you. Not very hard to care for but it has to find a happy spot in the tank. High light and low to medium flow seems to be what my elegance...
Thank you sir. Is it ok to run just 460 or should I have a mix of 420/460 actinic for soft and LPS coral growth. I've got a 12k, 6500k, 460 blue, 420...
Welcome to 3 reef. You'll find great information here.
Has anyone heard of wave point bulbs? My LFS said they were a lot better than zoo med so I picked up a few to try. There brighter and I noticed...
Those are some nice tangs! Hope it works out for you.
I got my new light fixture today and put it on the tank and what a difference. The elegance is fully opened and happy. 4 T-5 bulbs are better than 2...
I have a new fixture coming that holds 4 T-5 bulbs so I'm gonna fill them with ATI bulbs then. Thanks Daniel.
My gold band is really settled in his new home. My other 2 maroons are in need of a home now as my gold band won't share his. Lol
Thanks Dan. That was a concern of mine. I'm gonna put it closer to the lights today.
Definitely has feeding response. It opens up a lot out of the skeleton but the tentacles just aren't out like they should be. Maybe a low flow spot...
Flow is moderate and the lighting is a 30" double T-5. Soon to be a 36" quad T-5.
From the picture it looks like a 30 gallon tank, not 105. I'd check the heater because I have no lid on my 36 bowfront and never have a temp problem.
I've had my elegance coral for over a week now and it hasn't opened more than this. In LFS the tentacles were way longer. Should I move it to another...
Please do, I'm due for bulbs and want to see the difference. Congrats on the new addition.
