    I have a Mogule Base Metal Halide 400w 20K Radium Bulb on a PFO HQI Ballast. I want something different because I have to change these to much as they loss their blue and intensity. I was thinking a 14 or 15k but what bulb would run on my PFO HQI Ballast

    Red Bubbles

    Red Bubbles

    That is what I have been thinking that the rock is just getting old or releasing some built up stuff. I will be running out later to get a new test kit

    Red Bubbles

    What cause red algae with bubbles in it to be on Live Rock only. I have had it for a few months now and can not get rid of it. it is not killing anything but looks like crap and it seems if the temp in the tank goes up it gets worse

    Sea Squirts

    I am looking for Information on Sea Squirts, what does it take to keep them? I am looking to set up a filter system like Steve Tyree and am interested in how to keep the sea squirts alive

    Tunze 6000's and controller -vs- Tunze wavebox

    Ok the wavebox does not slosh, the water just moves back and forth causing100% of the tank water to move, leaving you will little to no dead spots in the tank. The 7095 only turns the wavebox off, this is sometimes usefull if you have other streams and want the wavebox off while the pump on the...

    Day flow vs. Night Flow

    For me I lower mine at night, my wavebox shuts off and the streams go down to 30% To me the fish seem to like it when the current is lower so they can have a rest period. My research and understanding of the ocean is the current is always changing and I think we need to do the same in our...
