Wonderful when installed correctly. Does get hot though. Smaller and lighter than most other ballasts. Cheap too.

Have you tried blowing them off with a turkey baster or something?

If I were you I would take pictures anyhow w/o flash...they'll never know. Check with your local authorities because hopefully selling them is unlawful.

I will be upgrading my ten gallon nano from 55 watts to 110 watts soon. Right now it's mostly soft corals. What hardy corals can you guys recommend that would appreciate the lighting? Someone suggested montipora as an easy to keep SPS.

Anyone know where I can by those clips that hold PC bulbs other than hellolights?

Most ricordea came from the florida region which is protected but that doesn't really matter since they are easy to propagate and most that's how most people get them. They are extremely nice looking and hardy. Mine does wonderful in medium/high light and medium flow.

My magnet cleaner never seemed to get the light brown algae off so I went to razor blades but they were sharp and had the tendency to scratch. I found that old credit cards work great, get's the stuff off and safe for people like me.

You should change the carbon and sediment filter roughly every 6 months or if you taste anything different. They are reletively cheap so it wouldn't hurt to change them frequently. The membrane should last a couple years (~3 for me).

I have a 100% working sony psx w/ all the cords and cables and a turbo controller that has more features than the regular controller. I already have a psx so don't need this one...will to sell or trade. kram12085@yahoo.com

I am having the exact same problem. My hardiest toadstool hasn't come out for a good while. A few suggestions you may try (which haven't worked for me yet) is water change w/ RO water and adjust light/water movement. Also check for aiptasia or other predators. Let me know if anything works for you.

attml: did your rics split naturally or did you cut them?

Check the manual, I believe they recommend changing it every year or two. You'll know it's time when the water tastes funny (if you use it as drinking water too) or there is a noticeable decrease in water output.

For those of you who have found southdown or yardright at HD, what section was it in?

Steveweast: What did you do to your ricordeas to get them to split like that???

What are some coral/reef safe starfish?
