well its like asking are ak 47 better than ar 15. Its a matter of option. there have been test done to show which bulbs go better with electronic ballast or mag ballast. You can not run radium or iwasaki on a electronic ballast. So pretty much no Asian bulbs on electronic ballast. I myself like...

Never used aqualine. But Ive used pretty much every brand. It really depends on what you want. My favorite 14k was Phoenix, but my favorite bulb of all time was a ushio 20k+. Ive never used anything below 14k. The only time i would ever us a 10k would be as a grow tank. Some ppl say they go up...

Unless your ballast is a off brand or starting to crap out. Then get a new ballast other wise save your monies

yeah more brown. i mean its thriving in my tank so i guess its ok.

so about the color. its definitely not looking like it should be. so is the whiting due to too little light or too much? i really wont be able to move it around till i get my bigger tank up and running.

Huh idk the more i look around at different pictures it looks like a fog spawn. Its definitely not a hammer. Torch corals have way longer tentacle like the one i have.

i mean is that the only reason why it is white? When i got it it looked like a hammer. Now it looks more like a frogspawn, white with green tips. I have moved it around. Ive had it all over the tank!

oh my hammer went from 2 heads last august to 56 heads now! its huge! and i need to frag it but my LFS arent taking frags for mulah. so i might as well just throw them away... sad day. same with monti it got huge and i had to break parts of it off 3 weeks ago and throw away the pieces. its...

i dont see what it could be. My gsp, birds nest, sun coral, brain coral, zoas, and shrooms are just fine. Its really just one acro and the hammer coral.. SORRY not frogspawn. I always say frogspawn. And my friends tank had a torch coral that pretty much died and now its coming back to life in my...

never really been a fan of high tanks. Fish don't like to swim up and down more back and forth. So definitely go with the long. That's what i have. Except I drilled the back of the tank and put a cheap over flow to a sump. Cost effective kit from glass-holes.com and adds more water volume to the...

yeah you can try a refugium filled with chaeto. Also will help keep your phosphates under control. I never really had luck with a refugium. There are various filter media you can put in canister filters and such. You can also try putting seachem denitrate in a phosphate reactor. Ive heard that...

Well after having my MH light where it has been for a year. I need to try to move it up more. My Frogspawn is too bleached. Same goes for my acros. Right now its about 10 inches above my tank. I actually raised it up more two weeks ago. prob 2 inches. The only problem is where i have my T5 retro...

yellow. Hippos.... are as cliche as a clown. Plus IMO they are harder to keep than a yellow.

Yeah Ive had my medium spine one for 4 years. Hes been through a lot! My first tank crashed, and he made it! But Ive moved him to, two different tanks. Each time is a pain but his spikes aren't like the one you have. They don't go through gloves. How does yours eat so much algae? Mine hardly...

what type of clown is that? I had a false and it never took to my anemone when i HAD one. That thing was SUCH a pain. It never liked where if was and eventualy got smaller and smaller till it died. That was 2 years ago though. I read a lot about it and some say only true percula or ocellaris...

did you get it to work? I just removed mine after 2 years. I had a glass anemone out brake that i couldnt control so i had to get pep shrimp. So he had to go, or else he would have killed them.I had to take out all my rocks but 2 with out breaking my corals off. It took 3 different attempts. I...
