By Neptune's Trident!!! 24 hours?!

For more information about these lights, read this long thread: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...5&pagenumber=1

I have a white (could be bleached - that's how I bought it anyway) anemone that has purple spots on the tips of its tentacles. The anemone came from the northwestern coast of the Dom. Rep. I have 3 damsels in my tank. My newest one (1 week old) sleeps on the anemone's tentacles. During the...

I'm worried about the bulbs as well. I just think that I would probably change to 10000K bulbs and that would mean adding about 120.00 to the bill.

It would be great if people who owned these lights could share their experiences.

http://www.aquatraders.com The MH set-up looks like a good deal. It would be great if people with this set-up could share their experiences.

I would like to know as well.

It looks like the T-5 tek Light is better. Check out this thread, mind you it's very very long but very informative. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...5&pagenumber=1

I had one and what a character! They are very amusing creatures. Mine didn't get along with a cleaner shrimp but that was about it - he managed to cut (shorten) about 3 of the shrimps antennae. One thing though, before feeding my anemone, I fed him first because he would climb on the anemone...

Hi all. What do you guys think of the "Nova Extreme T-5 Fixtures w/Lunar Lights (48" -432 watts)" for 75gal. reef tank (21" tall)? I would like to keep in my tank soft corals and anemones. Would this lighting set-up be sufficient? Would hard corals and clams thrive under this fixture? Thanks.

You've kept your nitrates at zero for 2 years?! What kind of set-up do you have have and how much and how often do you feed? Thanks F1shman.

That's what I don't get about lunar lights. On a moonless night, the ocean is pitch black - 30'. So wouldn't sea animals be used to darkness? Why would they get stressed?

So two 150 MH shold be enough for my tank? Considering that it's 21" deep? Of course, I'll put the more sensitive animals closer to the lights. Would I need actinics as well? And what is the function of those small lunar lights? I read they help induce spawning and night viewing. Thank you.

I got an emerald a week ago and it lives behind/under an anemone that rests on a rock. Sometimes the emerald grabs the tentacles of the anemone and the anemone kind of deflates the tentacle until the crab lets go. I have 3 damsels and I'm sure that the crab is more worried about them than...

Ok I read all the info. Thanks. Could someone recommend some MH light set-up for my 48" x 21" x 18" 65gal. reef tank. I'd like to be able to have anything in it. I agree that the inhabitants are the defining factor when it comes to lighting, but I need a system that has a very efficient light...
