    Lighting/reflector question??

    My setup is using 2 -250 watt 15,000 K retro fittings bought from BS. The reflectors are rather cheesy for lack of a better word. Very plain and flat. What type of reflectors would you recomend that will fit my retro single ended halides.????

    using natural sunlight

    I will look for the images I saw once of a dude in AZ that when he built his home he had four Solatubes installed above his fish room and there were diffusers on the business end of these tubes. Now of course really not feasable here in WA due to lack of sun but this dude had amazing results...

    Cutting acrylic

    I have a 110 gall acrylic tank. I have realised that the way the top is configured makes cleaning rather a PITA. My question is this........ Can I cut more of the top plate out without affecting the structural integrity of the tank? This would make cleaning and moving livestock a heck of a lot...

    Am I overfeeding? or underfeeding?

    This is very true. I beleiev it is orthophosphate that cannot be detected with conventional test kits. There is also a theory that the nuisnace algae is utilizing the available nutrients/PO4 quicker than can be detected. I have no proof that this is true but it sort of makes sense.

    Vacation Preparations???

    One thing I have found with even grown up sitters is they tend to overfeed and pollute the tank. So with a kid you may be asking for trouble. I now portion out each days supply in individual servings and dial them in that way. This way you dont have to worry about overfeeding. As for skimming...

    Euro Reef question

    As far as skimmers or anything reef goes opinions are as varied as buttholes :) I use a Euroreef 135 RS on my 120. The thing skims like crazy. Churns approx a 1" every 2 days of thick nasty skimate. Deltecs are great too but way too pricey IMO. I have used several types and for the money Euro...

    Moon lights... What do you like/use? Colors...

So far in all the post's I see no mention of coral spawning as a percieved result of using moonlights. Have most reefers switched to just using them for looks and not...
