    Mandarin dragonet project

    Have him prove it to you. I personally have only seen about three that ate frozen food.

    Has anyone ever used IRIDIUS power compact bulbs?

    Not to be nay say or anything but you can never really expect good coral color from a PC bulb ever.

    MH - single-ended or double-ended?

    It is my understanding that DE's produce a higher output. They are also, as you have notice, more expensive. They also produce UV radiation as other have state but that is what UV glass is for. I personally use SE but that is because it fit my needs better ie I found a good unit that had what...

    Electricity problems

    Replacing the ballast isn't something I will consider unless they stop working. I am rather partial to them also to the money I paid for them. I am also sure I will NEED them at some point. A new outlet would be an option but I don't think I will have time to put one in, since the apartment...

    Electricity problems

    Well, my tank is 24" deep. ::lol: I am not sure what you mean by cable tray? Why, I am not positive at this time whether I even need to do something (I have not moved yet, and haven't had time to check the electrical outlets and breakers), experience tell me that I will have a problem.

    Electricity problems

    I know that it will blow a 20A breaker...though no, I do not own a amperage reader

    Electricity problems

    I guess I was a bit vague. I am not absolutely positive on the amperage and the watts, but I am best guessing it. I gather the information from the documents I have. I have 3x400w PFO HQI ballasts, those actually pull more than I estimated, I have 2x160 VHO, according to the ballast it...

    Electricity problems

    I am getting ready to move again and I am concerned about having enough power for everything. The problem I have is I can't run everything on the same breaker. When I move I will be pushing 2025w at peak, which is about 18.4A, then shortly after I will be upgrading pumps and will be pushing...

    Comment by 'rudeanduncouth' in media 'Start of my 125g'

    That is just paint. I do not know what kind exact seeing how that tank was given to me like that. I am guessing an acrylic paint though.

    Aptasia...Grrr

    I personally hate removing the rock to treat it since most my rock isn't aquascaped for easy removal.

    Copper Sticks to Glass - Toss Out Old Tanks

    I did. I read both of the link threads, but there are no references. I just did some searching and I did not find anything particular regarding copper and glass. I even searched on acid baths and still did not find anything useful. I am not saying that they are wrong. I would just like the...

    Copper Sticks to Glass - Toss Out Old Tanks

    To me this is all still just anecdotal information. I would like to see the chemistry that explains it.

    Aptasia...Grrr

    I personally have had the best luck with pickling lime. The problem with pickling lime is it is generally hard to find. Fortunately since you live in Spokane there are two stores that sell it: Aquatic Dreams and Advanced Aquariums and Terrariums. With the pickling lime all you need to do is...

    Copper Sticks to Glass - Toss Out Old Tanks

    While my chemistry is limited, couldn't you just figure out if they copper would bond to the glass? If I still had any of my books I would do it myself. Though I could see an underlying problem since that only about 70% of most glass is silicon dioxide. The other ingredients of glass are...

    Starboard

    The sheen of a white sandbed is what I meant.

    Starboard

    So you put it on the bottom of the tank to prevent scratches and to still get the white of sand but not the hassles of a sand bed?

    Starboard

    Just what is starboard exactly?
