    SPS acclimation question

    That's a drastic increase :exclaim: I would definately reduce the photoperiod and lower them since your sig. indicates you have all softies, it could take quite some time for them to acclimate to your lighting. This is what happens if you don't aclimate properly :(

    SPS acclimation question

    If your corals aren't encrusted on the rocks then moving them down would be an option, I find that reducing the photoperiod will work just as well. What are the dimensions of your tank ? How many watts were the VHO's ? How many watts will you be running of MH's ?

    Light Bulb Comparisons

    Yea that must be one of the problem bulbs. I also bought the XM 10k last year and it was very yellow, similar to what you have but sent it back for another one, it should be a very crisp white not yellow ! Here's a photo of what the XM 10k should look like:

    coral receeding- need help please

    Have you been meticulous with maintenance or did it go thru a period of neglect ? Do you usually turkey baste or use a ph to blast the LR and remove any acumulating detritus ? I would do several large water changes to lower the nitrates and if you have to take the LR out and try to remove as...

    coral receeding- need help please

    How often are you feeding and how much ? What do you have for a cleanup crew ? Are you noticing a considerable increase in effluent with the new skimmer ? What are you dosing ? What is the total turnover rate in the tank ? How many lbs. of LR do you have ? The nitrates are very high for a tank...

    Importance of Dissolved Oxygen?

    The only time I worry about it is when my tank hits 88 degrees in the summertime and during the wintertime when there's little fresh air coming in and my ph won't rise above 8 :(

    Pinched Mantle

    All the Clams I had with PM eventually died. These Clams are new in my system and had been at the LFS for several months showing no signs of PM, that's the only reason I bought them. THe Crocea has been in there for almost two months and the Teardrop Maxima about a month.

    Pinched Mantle

    I waited a couple of months and have since added two Tridacnas a Crocea and a Maxima and no signs at all of PM.

    my new clam

    I believe that's the Halichoeres chrysus:D The Yellow wrasse can chow down on your ornamental shrimp...mine made quick work of a pistol shrimp. Also all the Fairy Wrasses are fine with clams but will not take care of any pyramid problems. BTW gorgeous clam Morgan !

    Are You Ready For Some...

    For his football future he better play all season and well because I don't see him staying in Dallas for too long.

    Are You Ready For Some...

    I despise him with a passion especially since he originally was with the 49ers. He should've been smacked upside his head when he scored a TD and placed the ball on the Star in Dallas. There's no denying his talent but this guy isn't a team player and he's already caused problems with Parcell...
