    UV From LEDs

    Hi all, I recently replaced my lights with 3w cree xpg LEDs and am wondering how much UV they emit, is there a way to tell? I know my Mh's would just about give you a tan if you were under them for long but the LEDs don't seem to have the same effect. Thanks E

    Green brittle star 1 Sailfin tang 0

    "The Green Brittle Stars are notorious fish eaters." Yeah that's why i was trying to get rid of it when it was first um "donated" to me over a year ago but no one would take it. Then it seemed to live peacefully for that time so i stopped trying to get rid of it, but now its gotta go. Dead or...

    Green brittle star 1 Sailfin tang 0

    Well i went to feed yesterday and my always first in line sailfin tang was missing, when i found him he was being eaten by the green brittle star. :mad: Since i couldn't even get an LFS to take it a year ago i see only 2 options for this death machine; 1. Dry it out and use it as a $200+...

    Rice as a carbon source?

    nice idea! For the rice hulls/husks try the brewers supply shops since they are used in some beer. http://www.rebelbrewer.com/shoppingcart/products/Rice-Hulls-%28by-the-pound%29.html

    Can't keep the sand clean

    I like the look of sand but it's been a big pain for 8 years so I am slowly sucking it out. I wish you luck on keeping it clean. Oh and I have never found a way to clean the sand without removing atleast a little.

    Custom tanks

    Unless something has changed in the past year and a half there are no over 30 gallon glass tank makers in our three state region. I had to get mine from a company in Edmonton, Canada.

    Converting VHO to T5

    My 660-90 fires my 4x24 t5's just fine, although it does overdrive them abit so the bulbs may not last as long.

    Spring Sale 2010

    Cy, The RO/DI specs state "Depending On Water Temp 1:1 Product to Waste Ratio!" at what temp can this be achieved and or what ratio would you expect from the 54ish degree water here in Bothell? Thanks

    Pyram Snail Ident./Behavior

    I I picked up a Six line because I was told it would eat the snails, but guess what the snails are nocturnal and the fish isn't so they never met. IMO, cleaner crew snails are the biggest carrier of the pyrams, if you have them quarantine them until you clean off all the snails and they don't...

    Different wrasses in one tank

    If one of them is a Sixline I wouldn't even try it, as I tried once and the sixline went to town on the other one. then while i was trying to figure out how to get one of them out of the tank the sixline kicked the other one out. I was lucky to find it on the floor with missing scales and put it...
