    VHO bulbs & algae

    I seem to remember reading that old bulbs can cause algea outbreaks. I have 640 watts of VHO on Icecap ballasts over a 2 year old 125 gallon tank . My bulbs are 10 months old and I plan to get new ones at 12 months. Is it possible the age of the bulbs is partly responsible for a few patches of...

    Filter bags

    What micron size should filter bags coming from my overflows into my sump be for a reef tank? I want to filter out crud, but not so fine that it catches phyto and such. 25, 55, 100 and 200 are my choices with the products I am looking at.

    Do you shut off your return pump when you feed? It seems like a lot of food goes down my overflows.

    Old coral?

    I was just thinking about this and had to ask. Does coral get old and die? Most tank deaths you hear of are related to certain events or conditions. I always hear of propegation and spawning events, but nothing about natural coral death. Is it possible that there are coral in the ocean that have...

    Why no live food?

    I've been reding this forum and lots of people are saying not to feed lionfish goldfish or guppies. Why is this bad to do?

    crab ID please

    Is this a teddy bear crab? I couldn't find much info on the web. Is it harmless? My tank has been up for a year and half and this is the first time I've seen it. It practically crawed into the net so I was able to put it in a glass and get a good pic.I'd say it's 3/4" wide.

    lighting question

    I currently have 640 watts of VHO over a 125 gallon tank. The only complaints I've heard about VHO is that they don't penetrate as well as MH. I do not plan to upgrade to MH, but I was wondering if there would be a benefit to adding 2 more VHO bulbs. Right now I have URI bulbs, 2 super actinic...

    Fungia question

    Is it normal for a fungia to close up for a couple days after a meal? It grabbed a good size chunk of krill on it's first day in my tank (Saturday) and has been shrunken since.

    B Ionic users

    I was just curious how much you all have had to deviate from the starting dosage to keep your levels where you want them. The instructions say 1 ml per 4 gallons if not using kalkwasser. I have had to go up to 1 ml per 2.5 gallons to keep my tank at 3.0 alk and 425 ca. I did just start using it...
