    Gieseman infiniti MH + T5 lighting

    Gieseman infiniti MH + T5 lighting Giesemann infiniti light. 250 watt metal halide and four T5's. with new bulbs. MH bulb is a phoenix 14k bulb- pretty much as blue as you can get. T5's are various "colors". My reef tank did great under these lights and I had good coral growth. I will even...

    Wholesale suppliers

    We used to have a member named Mike Morcos on here. He did a lot of wholesale stuff and if you found him on here I'm sure he would be happy to help. He decided to get out of the biz a while back.

    SEA-MAX 2011 in Seattle, WA!

    Wow I just caught up on this thread. What I see is a bunch of people making business way too personal which is generally never a good idea. Either the numbers supported a return show or they did not. Why the show failed is mostly a moot point now- at the end of the day the numbers either work...

    SEA-MAX 2011 in Seattle, WA!

    I'm almost 100% certain the ticket is good for one day only? Can someone confirm? I too thought it was ok, not great. Probably a lot of smoking deals to be had by people buying $$$$ equipment, not so much for someone just looking for frags. That being said I got 5 really cool corals and...

    <-- Lighting -->

    I had the same tank and used to run a 250watt MH over it. I bought it used for 150 and while I have upgraded my lighting (tank upgrade) I LOVED that light and my coral thrived. I don't know that I would spend the money on LEDs for a tank that size.

    Flow - Is it important 24/7 ?

    I LOVE my mp10s and they are on 24/7. I figure the ocean doesn't shut off for 10 hours a day so my tank shouldn't either :-)

    Just lost my big maxima- any ideas what may have happened?

    Moliken- I don't think you totally understood my post-the water quality I listed was when I first came home- NOT were I normally keep my water. Sid- the alk was listed in dkh. Interesting to think about the dying process being slow. Like I said it did start to look a little off almost 2 weeks...

    Just lost my big maxima- any ideas what may have happened?

    I saw no pests on the clam at all, although I did notice that I have some tiny red bugs that live in the sand (they are NOT on any of my acros). they were not on/near the clam though.

    Just lost my big maxima- any ideas what may have happened?

    While on vacation (june 16-29th) my sister muddled up my tank pretty badly and I lost much of my coral. To my surprise my big maxima and my much smaller derasa clam both looked great though. I did several water changes and got things back to normal within a week or so. I removed the coral...

    Yay...go picasso's

    Totally true and I hadn't thought of it like that. I have a regular old clown and a picasso (grade B) in my main display. I got them second hand from someone on CL so have no idea where they came from or how old they really are, but these guys are incredible in terms of hardiness. I hope you...

    PH doesn't get above 8.1

    James @ Reefkeepers used to work for Barrier Reef and told me he kept the main display at 7.8. I never asked cy or anyone in the store if this is true but I can't imagine he would make it up. :-)

    Yay...go picasso's

    Crap. I'm sorry. Maybe the breeding was just to stressful for her? My clowns are the hardiest fish I've ever owned- I can't believe you've had such a hard time with them.

    Let's Talk About Saltwater Emergencies

    I love the last idea about the elbows on the pumps!!! Great idea and one I will try. That being said, other than my tank being nuked by my somewhat retarded sister while I was on vacation I set it up pretty much emergency proof. I dose everything manually. Hearing all the horror stories...

    Yay...go picasso's

    bawhahahha. Your picasso is a whore Seth. Mine also never layed eggs or did anything. I guess I've been pretty glad all things considered since its my understanding that unless you are really set up for it they just turn into food for your other fish?

    Cool Coral growing on one of my snails?

    Thats such a "man answer"- I'm not good at killing things. I don't think it looks like a monti- will get a photo tonight and see what you guys think.

    Cool Coral growing on one of my snails?

    Well I lost almost all of my tank when my sister was "tank sitting", but I did notice that one of my snails is growing some cool looking coral. I've never seen anything like it and will try and get a picture of it, however wanted to be careful picking up the snail so as to not do damage to the...

    The hot spell is over and um?

    Just running to smaller clip on fans take down the water temp 5 degrees or so for me and I have MH. My AC kicks on if the place gets about 76 degrees so that helps too I'm sure, but without the fans (year round) my temp creeps to 82-83 year round. With the fans I can keep it to 77-78

    need some advice on my summer "de-stress" project (its better then drinking)

    Yep I'll be at SeaMax- I'm hoping I can pick up a bunch of stuff there to get going again. Luckily a couple of things made it but I lost 14 full colonies total. I love that eel! What size tank did you have yours in?

    need some advice on my summer "de-stress" project (its better then drinking)

    Thanks Seth. I'm sure with my luck it would eat all my other fish and then my tiny amount of remaining coral. I just got back from vacation- while gone my sister managed to wipe out 90% of my coral stock. I'm thinking I don't need to add anything to tank that might cause more damage although...
