    150w HQI over a 10g

    Macbeth. I am very happy with it, but more important, my corals are happier. My Trumpet is fatter than ever, my Zoos are expandinding more than ever(can't wait to see their true colors come out). I can't wait for my Digi to color back up(hot pink).Even my shrooms, which are directly under, but...

    150w HQI over a 10g

    The bulb seems to be a really great white color. Of course I only ran it for 1 hour tonight so we'll see what it looks like after burn in. I'm not sure what brand the light is. It's made in Tiawan and says "Macro AQ15010k" on the bulb if that means anything. I don't know what the innards of the...

    Green Leather Toadstool Sarcophyton Rare?

    I bought a toadstool from Kevin a few months ago and as Ed said it "grew like is was going to take over Washington". The polyps were always out. It was a very happy coral. It was tan under 10K. but a very fluorescent green under actinic. It was a beauty. I say was because I lost it after my...

    BB plate coral

    Nope. you can place the plate on a BB with no problems. They love a wide smooth surface to expand on.

    150w HQI over a 10g

    I agree 100% Illusion. If you based your lighting choice on WPG alone you could use cheap incadesent lighting and be set, but we all know what that would cause. Watts is a way of measuring energy and heat load. It has absolutly nothing to do with spectrum. Eventually science will come up with a...

    150w HQI over a 10g

    Elmo. Every time I see someones tank with halides I can't believe the difference it makes over PCs. Gotta love those glitter lines. ;)

    150w HQI over a 10g

    WOW. Didn't mean to start a flame war, but I'm going with Aquaman and Macbeth on this one. 150w is not to much on a 10g. The only problem it would cause is heat and I don't think that will even be an issue. WPG may have it's place, but par and lums is what you want to base your lighting on. For...

    lovelli growth

    I'll have to stop in Kevins shop and pick one of those up. :D

    WOW!!! What are your tank specs? Very nice.

    150w HQI over a 10g

    I just ordered this pendant for my 10g nano. Anyone heard of it before? It's going to be nice to be able to keep some SPS now.

    What is it?

    I had one appear in my tank out of nowhere. It must have hitch hiked on a new coral. Mine is black and very cool to watch.

    Yes. Even with a nano, you still need MH for SPS. I run a 70w 10k Ushio DE with 1x36w actinic over my 10g. As far as a skimmer goes I run a Prism w/ surface skimmer and I pull alot of skimate out, but parameters stay constant.

    Unknown Coral

    I would put that on the bottom of the tank with something porous(strawberry basket...)over the top of it to keep any critters off it. You need to keep the stress level to 0 for that trumpet for a while. I hope it works out for you.

    True, so true. You have to keep up, religiously, with water changes. Depending on what salt brand you use the water changes will keep your chemistry in check from week to week unless you have an SPS dominated nano. Then you have to...

    Candy Cane Coral

    WOW :eek: MDM. How long did it take to go from 3 heads to it's current form. That is truly amazing.

    Shrinking Xenias

    I agree. Sharkbait? If the coral banded did eat some Xenia don't exile it to the fuge, send it my way. He would be one happy camper in my tank. :badgrin:

    NaH2O. It's not as scary as you would think. It's a little more difficult to keep the chemistry in check, but not that bad. The only problem is is with growth. I put a Toadstool in my 10g 3 months ago and it's quickly outgrowing it's space. I will have to frag it real soon. Small ecosystems are...

    Took these last nite w/ flash

    Charlie? Did you get those from Kevin? I picked a couple up last weekend(orange cap and pink digi). I wish I could get a pic of them they are very beautiful. He has an excellent collection.
