    i use ESV two part solution and drip kalk it took awhile to get the alk and cal balanced,awhile I mean 3 weeks. Dripping kalk works wonders on keeping mine balanced. I shoot for 440 myself.:D

    Tempered glass/Sump setup

    Will the tunze 6060s get rid of my dead spots in the tank. I have a pair of old penguin 350s and my skimmer. Im so tired of them and I really do think they have a lot to do with some of my corals not fully opening up! 125gal with no sump. I bought my tank at PetCo and it was not reef ready and...

    Ordering MH bulbs of ebay?

    I purchased two 250 HQI 20k on eBAY for 24$ a piece. Man what a deal..... that was until I installed them and they just kept flickering and shutting off. Sure,one of them would actually reach operating temp then it would shut off. Was it because I had a magnetic ballast and the bulbs were for a...

    is it ok to mount my colt upsidr down?

    well i guess the reason for asking about mounting it upside down is,I fragged off four pieces and one of them came up missing. Yesterday I did a 45gal water change and was moving some rock around and found the missing frag had attached itself some how upside down and it wasnt a very well lit...

    Cheap MH lights?

    Be careful of buying cheap bulbs if your running HQI w/a good balast. The bulbs on E Bay that sell for 25$ a bulb cannot handle the output of a quality balast. I found this out the expensive way! South Pacific Lighting may have what you need tho :idea:

    green frilly mushroom

I waited for it to open back up. The following morning it was polluting my tank! Same as you my parameters Were dead...

    ricordea mushrooms

    thanks for the input! I will give it a shot doing it that way. I fragged my toadstool that way and it worked well. I cut it straight down the middle and one half of it I left on the rock and then cut the other hlf agin down the middle. I almost got to greedy and cut the one half into almost 20...

    upgrade

    For your lighting I would stay in the realm of two 175w metal. Far as the kelvin rating sort of depends on your corals need for strong lighting. Remember the higher the kelvins the bluer the color spectram it will appear! As an example I run two 250watt HQI 20,000k with two 54wattT5 day bulbs on...

    Anyone ever order from this place?

    the aqua medic look alike seems to look ok,the only thing i see is that there is no fan. I run a aquamedic 48in. dual 250watt 20,000k with two T5 54w day bulbs. I purchased it from my lps for 600$. Its a older model and has no fan it gets very hot! If you never had HQI then watch out cause the...
