    what can i grow with 4OO watts?

    Again no one seems to be reading the original message. He asked what he could keep with 400 watts of PC LIGHTING not MH. Everyone keeps going off track with the metal halides....

    what can i grow with 4OO watts?

    If you read the post he said 400 watts of pc lighting not Metal halide. I owuld be concerned about the amount of heat they give off but other than that you should be able to grow about anything. What type of pc lighting is it? How many bulbs and what wattage are they?

    green bubble anenome

    I would give him a few days to settle in. Also, you need to get your nitrates down to 0 or as close as possible. Good Luck.

    green bubble anenome

    How long have you had it? how long has the tank been set up? and what are your water parameters? They like very clean water, medium to high light and feed them every 3-4 days a piece of silverside and they will grow like crazy. How low in the tank is it also? You may need to try and move him...

    DIY holes In glass

    you can use water to keep it cool. Antifreeze is toxic and hard to get all the chemicals off the glass... Looks good though..

    Heating cold water

    Maybe you could look into getting a heater coil from an electric hot water heater and incorporating it into your system. it would definately heat the water quicker than a water bed heater. You could also try one of the water on demand systems and that might work for you...

    Glass tank drilling

    I agree it weakens it through cracks or chips in the glass but it is also weakened from the holes in the glass. I have seen 2 tanks rupture from this process, 1 from a tiny crack near 1 drilled hole and the other from a piece of liverock falling and hitting the back wall. It hit the back wall...

    Glass tank drilling

    That's alot of holes on that size tank. I would be cautious as your back pane is going to be weakened quite a bit with that many holes. They say acrylic does not lose it's strength but glass does. What size are they? and what is the placement of them? Pictures would be great...

    Dead snails

    What type of basslett do you have. They are carnivores and if he is not getting enough food he may be enjoying the snails... Other than that not sure what else could be bothering them.. Good Luck in finding the culprit and keep us posted...

    blue actitic

    You will definately loose good spectrum lighting to your inhabitants. I would stay with what you have. When figuring out your lighting they say you are not suppose to factor in the actinics. good luck and post some pics....

    is luke gone?

    Yeah, he was banned and no one seems to know why. The last post regarding him was deleted so look for this one to disappear too. Sounds like he really made someone mad, although I never saw any real bad posts from him.

    Lighting questions for a 50-g reef

    Yeah, use an Icecap 660 ballast and you can overdrive the t5 bulbs to 80 watts each. Use the individual reflectors and you will be able to grow anything you want under them... Good Luck

    Closed loop build questions

    Welcome to reeffrontiers. I also had a closed loop on my 75 and used a mag 7. It only had 2 outlets front and back but did not push enough flow for my liking. I would go with at least a mag 9 with 6 outlets. Use 3/4 in pipe and downsize to 1/2 inch lockline for the outlets and see how it works...
