    Ballast question. PLEASE advise!

    It is time once again to pick everyone's brains. I have a 46g with an odyssea HQI/pc fixture. (I know it's a cheapo, but I'm poor:)) It is a 175w HQI DE with a 20k bulb. Way to blue for me. 175w 10k de bulbs are next to impossible to find. I would like to change this to 250w. It has an external...

    2008 Fish Calendar

    Let me know how it turns out. It was funny that you posted this yesterday, because I had just finished taking a bunch of pics, and had gone to costco's site to see if they do calendars, and for how much. Then I saw your post, and had to mention costco. I don't quite have enough great shots, but...

    2008 Fish Calendar

    I haven't seen one, but I have been looking. One thing you can do, if you have decent digital images, is get a calendar made at costco. Its not very expensive, and you can customize your own pictures. You can do it online, and pick upat the store. They are supposed to be very well made.

    A Very Slow Work In Progress... Take 2!

    I zapped a few that way, but I got scared. I dripped some on one of my mushrooms accidentally and it didn't like it! It didn't kill it, but it was a tiny drop. It definitely scarred it. Is this a big concern? The pics don't show my porcupine puffer, but he thinks shrimp are tasty...

    A Very Slow Work In Progress... Take 2!

    A Few More These are not quite as clear. They were hand-held shots with fairly slow shutter speeds. 1/8 sec, 1/10 sec, 1/60 sec, and 1/60 sec, consecutively. The next time I take pics, I will mess around more with the white balance.

    Help... Toadstool Leather isn't opening

    OK, Didn't know they do that. I've still got a lot to learn, and I'm a little paranoid about something dying. Thanks for the info!

    Help... Toadstool Leather isn't opening

    :eek::exclaim::eek: My toadstool leather hasn't put it's tentacles out in two days now. Does anyone have any idea as to why? The water quality is fine, and absolutely everything else in the tank is flourishing. I did move it to a different part of the tank last Sunday, but it was fine after...

    Test Kit Question

    Why on earth would my API nitrate kit be giving me such high results?

    Test Kit Question

    I'm looking for suggestions for brands of test kits. I've been using AP kits, but I'm not very impressed. Especially the nitrate test. It's worthless, as it always gives me false VERY high results. I know false because I freaked out when I saw 80ppm, and took water samples to three different...

    Bubble Tip Anemone Lighting Question

    Another suggestion... based on their wandering habits... COVER POWERHEAD INTAKES!!! I learned my lesson. Use filter media, and secure with rubber bands. It's a horrible thing when they get sucked into a PH like wet jello. It's better to rinse out the filter media once a week than to lose an...

    A Very Slow Work In Progress... Take 2!

    Sorry to report... The condylactis anemone was killed Friday after being sucked up by one of my powerheads. I learned a valuable lesson... COVER POWEHEAD INTAKES!!! I now have them wrapped in filter media, secured with rubber bands.

    ARSA & BR... The Most Fun I've Had With My Pants On!!

    how much light......?

    Is this a 250HQI only, or a combination unit with pc's? What is your kelvin rating of the hqi, if by itself? 10k,14k, 20k? This will make a difference as well.
