    Help! something stange is going on with pink Hammer

    I added a photo of the 'hole' to the original post. maybe it is OK then. that tank is due its water change Monday, but I did have a big feeding yesterday....and it is a smaller tank than I used to feed mysis to...so probably did overfeed, although I knew the water change was coming up.

    Advice on VHO bulbs

    Ok thanks guys. I haven't put it together yet...I think I'll buy a $4 24" bulb from the hardware store and make sure it'll fit with these endcaps before I order the URI's... but thanks for the advice.

    Advice on VHO bulbs

    hhmm. so aquasuns and actinic white? That sounds like that would be best for growth...but would that be 'yellow'? I'm thinking of ordering 2 of each bulb and playing mix and match.... Mike, so I have no need for the remaining URI super actinics 46.5" like I sold you before. I won't be...

    Advice on VHO bulbs

    I decided to go with with VHO's and the ice-cap 430 ballast and 3 pairs of endcaps I already have for my 20g canopy. I am assuming this set up with 24" URI's will actually be 24" or less and fit OK. Does anyone know? so I am about to order the URI bulbs and am trying to decide which ones...

    I just got Lasik

    I had LASIK almost 2 years ago, and am sure glad I finally did it. I met someone who had it done, and she said it was teh best $2000 she ever spent. so I thought I'd look into it. The cheaper special offerings, $200-$300, are for slight prescriptions. For worse eyes like mine, -3.25 in each...

    lighting vs tank depth for best zoa colors?

    yes, a 20K metal halide would bring the colors out I want. but the MH cost is so high, and then I have to deal with cooling. I want to keep this system simple. no sump, no chiller. Just pretty zoas. I am really hoping someone might know if these 40 watt PCs would do it or not. I know they...

    lighting vs tank depth for best zoa colors?

    I'm selling off my 75g reef but decided to keep a smaller tank for zoas. maybe a ricordia or two. So I took over my Mom's 30 gallon tall with sunpaq retrofit 2x40 watt PC's. She and I had some of the same zoas, but she didn't get as good of coloring out of them as I did with my actinics and...

    coral ID

    FYI: i don't think it is a Finger leather coral. In my book it is in a different section titled soft corals. Specifically named Purple Finger Coral. no leather. I have the green finger coral...sinularia. my book says the classification of the purple is inadequate, for it is not like other...
