    Coralife Aqualight HO T-5 Dual Lamp Aquarium Light Fixture....is it any good??

    If you get the 4 bulb T-5 with individual reflectors, you should be able to keep most corals plus the electricity usage will be much less than MH. You will also have less heat from the lighting.

    30 Gallon Oceanic Cube Build

    Looking good. I've got a 30 gallon Oceanic also. My biggest issue was the stand not being big enough to accomodate a 10 or 15 gallon tank. I assume you are not using the Oceanic stand. Good luck with the build.

    Hair Algae Help!

    If you haven't removed the bio balls, make sure you have enough live rock to support your tank. Then it may be a good idea to remove them incrementally so you don't get any spikes.

    Hair Algae Help!

    I also have a BioCube 14 set up. Did you remove the bio balls? They tend to be nitrate factories.

    Hair Algae Help!

    You should have no ammonia in your tank if it is completely cycled.

    bio balls

    You could give them to someone with a fish only tank that does not have enough live rock for filtration.

    New Tank Setup Questions

    Couldn't you remove the bio media from the HOB and use other media in it (i.e. carbon)?

    Lighting recommendation

    I just bought a 40 breeder at the $1 per gallon sale at Petco. I currently have a 30 gallon Oceanic with 250 MH and 65 watt PC. I am looking at the Nova Extreme T-5 156 watt fixture. Will this be enough lighting for most SPS? Or should I look at the 6 bulb setups? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    My First Setup

    If you are testing to see when your cycle is complete, you will probably want a nitrite test also.

    HQI light question? Time to update again.

    I think some of the yellow can be attributed to the ballasts. When I upgraded to the Lumatec ballast, it was like night and day. I am curious to how the mod to the ballast will work.

    frogspawn "decaying"

    Your ALK seems low. I believe you should target 8 dKH. Not sure if that is causing the problem though.

    HQI light question? Time to update again.

    Where did you get the MOSFETs? I have the odyssey 250 mh, but upgraded the ballast to a Lumatek ballast. I was thinking about doing the upgrade and keeping the Odyssey ballast as a backup.

    I bought some at the Home Depot in Everett a few weeks ago. Might want to try another Home Depot.

    Berghia Nudi questions

    I've heard that peppermint shrimp are potential predators and that the berghia die after all the aiptasia are gone.

    Lighting question

    I had that setup on a 55 gal tank. I was able to keep orange and purple rim monitpora caps with good growth rates. I had montipora digitata that did not grow as fast. I kept all the SPS high in the tank.

    Live Aquaria Gift Certificate

    Not sure if these are transferable, but I have a $15 gift certificate for liveaquaria.com that expires on 5/15/2010. I won't use it, so if anyone wants to try to use it, let me know.

    nano livestock

    I have a BioCube 14 as well (stock lighting). I have tried LPS, but ended up moving them to the halide tank. I have even had problems keeping xenia in the tank (it thrives in the halide tank). So now I just have zoas and mushrooms in the BioCube.

    Dremel Recommendation for Fragging

    Cool. I'll take it. Probably best bet is to PM how to pick up it. Are you going to the next PSAS event?
