    Lighting Question

    He said they are all stock bulbs. About 6-8 months old. The auction you showed me is for a 250... there are also no double-ended 175's available from him. Makes me wonder if it is a 150 or a 250???

    OK, this is wierd!

    No go... as far as turning off and letting her free herself. I tried that, but she was sucked in too far I guess and she died.

    Lighting Question

    Update So after further examination, the sticker on the fixture says 175w, 20000k. Problem is, it is a double ended bulb. I can't seem to find 175w double ended... What's up with that??? How do I know what it really is? are the bulbs themselves marked?

    OK, this is wierd!

    Well, My STUPID condylactis anemone went for another stroll, this time the powerhead didn't spare it. I'm really bummed about this. I've been working my butt off trying to keep her healthy, and she was doing so good, especially considering how difficult this species can be. I'm shocked that the...

    Lighting Question

    I have some leathers and mushrooms. No SPS. So far, they seem to enjoy the light. Ron, Isn,t 500 watts of MH too much for 40gals? Trido, I'll try a 10k. Thanks a bunch for the info. Who is your preferred supplier? I was thinking Marine Depot? Or is there a better place?

    Lighting Question

    My tank is 36 wide, so it is definitely more dim on the sides, but even the center is not as bright as I would like. What is a lumenarc reflector, and where can I get one?

    Lighting Question

    I may try that. Is there a way to change the ballast to a 250 watt? The ballast is in a separate control unit. I wouldn't mind having more wattage.

    Lighting Question

    Once again I need to tap into the wealth of information that is so prevalent on this forum. For the past few months(since I inherited my setup and became hopelessly addicted to this hobby) I have been running a PC fixture with 1-96w 10000k daylight and 1-96w actinic on my 46 bow. That is until...

    How do I get rid of Aiptasia

    I've heard that the copperband butterflies will munch on LPS polyps and featherdusters... Is that accurate? I don't want that!

    OK, this is wierd!

    I wondered the same thing. This is a first for me. But I was talking to a guy this afternoon when I was buying his metal halide setup, about his rose bubbletip that wanders all over his tank at night.Now mines doin it. Is it a full Moon?

    OK, this is wierd!

    Feeding frozen squid, clams, or shrimp about 1-2 times per week. I cant imagine it wants more flow, I have two MJ1200's, a CPR backpack with another MJ1200, and a rena x-2 can filter pumping water around. She has alwas sat in the middle of all this. (I do thaw the little cubes before I give them...

    OK, this is wierd!

    So, I was about to go to bed, and so I took one last look at my tank, and my Condylactis Anemone had decided to go for a midnight stroll. She detatched herself from her rock, and decided to re-attach on the intake of one of my MJ1200 powerheads. She never wanders around... Do I need to be...

    Is There a such thing as TOO much light?

    This is a very important point as my mushrooms nearly died in a high-flow area. Lower in the tank with calm water works best for me, as the lighting demands are not high.

    Have shopping list, need money!

    I think that is a prerequisite for this hobby, isn't it?

    How do I get rid of Aiptasia

    I'll try the shrimp. Puffers are nocturnal feeders too. Therein lies my fear. That can get to be expensive fish food. As soon as the lights shut off, my puffer gets active searching for food.

    How do I get rid of Aiptasia

    What exactly is kalk, and where do I get it? Also, where does one get a syringe w/ needle? (Other than going downtown and searching out the neighborhood crackhead)? Thanks
