    coral changing colors

    I dont think lights are your problem but I do not have the answers either. I also had a frag tank plumbed into the main and my frags would dull over time, they grew just as vigorously as in the main. I spent a bunch on different MH bulbs but never found anything that helped. I even bought a...

    I need help understanding 80w T5 ballast...

    t-5's are supposed to go 18months before replacing them(providing they are not overdriven on a icecap). I let mine go nearly two years on a icecap as they were just actinic supplement, the bulk of your PAR is coming from your LED's. If you are happy with the color leave em(providing their are...

    I have a lot of 60" T5 equipment, at least 6 bulbs, icecap ballast, endcaps and reflectors. I sent you a PM if you are interested let me know.

    Fastest in wall ever

    Time for closure, I started this thread to document my tanks creation but now time to end this thread with its demise. I sold off all the livestock to a fellow reefer who showed up in a rented van and 25 5 gallon buckets later everything was gone. I feel fortunate that everything went to an...

    Co2 Regulator Issues

    I just noticed your bubble counter is remote from your needle valve. I would pull the tubing connected to your regulator and look inside for salt residue, if it is there clean it out and flush with fresh water.

    Co2 Regulator Issues

    I had a similar problem when my first tank ran out of CO2, saltwater was pushed back into the bubble counter chamber and was crystalized in the needle valve. I took apart the bubble counter and removed as much as I could and then backflushed with fresh water. It has been stable since. You...

    where to buy t5 endcaps

    I officially hate t5's, nobody carries the endcaps. Just called 6 electrical/lighting supply places in Everett. Nobody carries them. I will have to order them online and wait 5 days to get them.

    where to buy t5 endcaps

    Looking for t5 endcaps, the little tombstone kind not the waterproof variety although would take anything. I know a variety of places to get them online but looking for a local source, tried home depot and called Lowes and a couple other lighting stores with no luck.

    T5's near Mill Creek

    What is the closest store to Mill Creek area that sells T5 actinics. I am going to do actinics on my frag tank to get the blue I have been longing for. I need 2 24W bulbs, also willing to do VHO. Frag tank is 22"X16".

    my bulbs are all white

    I run reeflux 10K on the main tank with actinics on each end of the light cycle and am very happy with growth and color. I am looking for a very blue solution for the frag tank which is a 30 gallon. I do not want to run actinics in additon to the MH's. I do not want growth just color. I am...

    my bulbs are all white

    I agree it is odd or to me quite perplexing. It would be funny if I did that although I am sure it is 110. Maybe my expectations are too high, I want my 20K's to look something close to what actinics provide but I am definitely not even close. I am very hesitant to buy another bulb without...

    my bulbs are all white

    Tacoma is a little far, thanks for the offer. Hopefully someone a little more local will have something.

    my bulbs are all white

    No fan. I would think it would take longer than a couple minutes for heat to become a problem but stranger things have happened I am sure. Does anybody have a old 250W SE 20K bulb they think is pretty blue I could try to see if it is the bulb or my setup. Getting tired of buying new bulbs.

    my bulbs are all white

    I am having a terrible time getting blue out of my MH bulbs, I have tried a 250W radium, reeflux 12k and 20K and a hamilton 14K. All the bulbs are very white, the radium and 14K are the bluest but just barely. I have tried all the bulbs on a icecap ballast, a generic magnetic and most recently...
