That is a nice set up . So far it is fully extended it is in a moderate to heavy flow, and I have it high up by itself and there is no other coral nearby. I will try to post some pics. I am debating whether to move it lower. Just tring to find the spot.

Thanks for the help, It was under Halides, but it was far away from them. I may have put it too high I put it at a high point on my rocks, but it is in a lot of flow. If you think I should I will put it on the bottom ort close to it. So far it seems like it is O.K. but don't know how long it...

I just bought a torch coral the other day, and I was trying to figure out where to put it. I have T-5 lighting, and was wondering if I should put it high up, or on, or near the ground? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info, you saved me from wasting my money.

I was wanting to get a wave maker, and I was looking at the Red Sea Wave Maker with soft start. Does anyone know if this is any good? I was also wondering if I can use it with my Hydor Koralia 4's. I want to make sure it will not ruin them. Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the help. I have a couple more questions, First I was told today that the Fiji Purple lose a significant amount of color after only 4 months, is this true? If so then what would be a good alternative? Last question: Do I need to change my bulbs a few at a time a week so everything...

Can someone PM me and let me know where the best place to get ATI and other t5 bulbs, I would like a one stop shop for my bulbs and have not found a good one yet. One more question, My Nova Extreme pro has been up and running for a year, am I changing my bulbs too early and they can they last...

It has 12 bulbs, 6 10,000k, and 6 blue 460nm. I just would like to have the colors to really pop, and make sure I have good growth. This is my first lighting change so I am use to what I have now and that is it. So I am not sure how I would like it to look. I was thinking of 2 420nm, 2 460nm...

I have a 72" nova extreme pro. It is time for bulb replacement, and I was wondering what would be the best bulbs for this fixture. I have a mix of SPS and LPS and I want something that will be good for growth and of course good color for the coral and the fish. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if I should worry about my serpent star will go after my maxima clam, had seen something about star fish and clams that made me kind of worried.

I checked my parameters yesterday and all seems well, but my concerns are calcium. My calcium is at 380, now I know that it is not low...but I have a Maxima, torch, bubble algae and some plate corals. Now I was told that my calcium should be between 400 and 450 especially for the clam, and they...

I have nova extreme pro lights, I have a small maxima, about 3" wide. I just purchased it the other day. I put him in the sand till I could find a good rock to put him on, my tank is 24" deep. When I checked on it today he was opened up and when I tried to move it, it seemed like it had its foot...

Does a Maxima clam need to be placed on a rock or is it O.K. to keep it in the sand?

1st question: Is it normal for a hippo tang to pick on coral? Unfortunately I keep seeing mine do this. Second question: I am looking at expanding my fish stock. I have a 180. My current list of fish are: 1 powder brown tang 1 hippo tang 2 clown fish 7 blue green chromis 1 purple firefish 1...

Well it is day 2 and all looks well so I hope I caught things in time. Thanks JerryAtrick and Mr. X
