    light bulb question

    it'll be great for the fuge or a small tank that you put the coral (mushrooms and maybe zoa) frags in that has coral gravel or small rocks. just put the coral in there, once it attaches it self put it in your main tank or trade it. it'll save $$ on glue...

    lighting for a refugium?

    I've seen 41W replacement CLF bulbs that replace a 150W in soft white @ loads of stores. I'm trying to find one in daylight tho... any daylight bulb works. I have some 12V 6500K bulbs that I found online. they take up less space, but I am have'n trouble finding a cheap transformer for it and...

    Nitrates Need Help!!!!!!

    put more and or brighter lights on the fuge, so that the algea will grow faster. watch more maderian! if it starts to get a sunken in belly then you will probably need to rehome it. I had one in my first reef. it was a 250 l (66 US gal) with 40-50 kilos of LR. While i was taking it down I...

    Dealing with a Power Outage - Will this work?

    what about the big UPSs that my dad has from like 10+ years ago that one puts 2 marine/deep cycle batteries in? do you think they're MSW or TSW? they were meant to plug computers into them... Or the inverter 400W inverter i plug in to my car? or do those both depend on the model?

    do i really need a calcium reactor

    do i really need a calcium reactor

    I think ULTA means the media and the CO2 should last about 8 months. The Ca reactor should last years and years... If i remember right it is about $15 for one gal (or one pound) of media at my LFS... if you have the $$$ now i would get the Ca reactor now. if not, dose until it get to be a...

    A few ID's please...

    One more thing... is your rock resting on top of the sand or does the rock go to the bottom, or is something holding it up like egg crate? I like your aqua scapeing and the DSB, but if you answered the first one, then you might want to reconsider... if you ever get something that digs you'll be...

    A few ID's please...

    The first one in the second group looks like a pest nem. is it mostly clear with white tips or balls at the end the of tentacles? The 2nd of the 2nd i'm not sure about. if it doesn't look like a nem to you then it could be something like a bunch of tube worms. I have some of that in a place or...

    Returnofsid, you are right PETA is a PITA (Pain In the ___) wait, doesn't PETA stand for: People Eating Tasty Animals? YES, fishing and putting a hook in a cats mouth and dragging it down the road behind a car are equal and cause the same amount of pain/damage... ***get a towel, b/c i'm...

    Is it normal for the RBTA foot/body to be this long?

    I'd go T-5, not nearly as much heat will go into your tank! no shadows as with MH. I forget get if Maxx mentioned this or not, but T-5s have much better reflectors than PCs the tubes are MUCH smaller than the old T-8 or T-12s... the best reflector kind of looks like a "w" with the middle bump...

    toadstool coral

    Welcome to Reef Frontiers! What part of the UK do you call home? I used to live in Suffolk... Yes, it should have little long tentacles stick'n out all over on top. they like medium to high flow... (not blasting of course) Stephen

    300ZXNA's 30 gal nanoreef

    yeah, you'd have a coral reef in FL, but every so many years a hurricane would take it out! yes you would only be there for a short time, but lighting has to strike somewhere...
