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...
