i'm not 100% sure about this but i have heard that the white moonlights provide a more realistic moonlight (good for spawning etc...) and the blue lights are simply for looks.
I have a 75 gal reef tank with mostly soft corals in it. I have had a large toadstool leather for the past 7 or 8 months that has been doing really well. About five weeks ago i put a finger leather in the tank. These are the only two leathers in there. Both were doing well for a few days and...
Not sure, but i believe that true actinic lights actually emit light wavelengths that are in the actinic portion of the light spectrum and are not lights that have been simply painted/tinted blue or purple. Hopefully someone will have a more difinitive answer for you.
My tank does this as well. The "strings" look almost exactly like spider webs and are abundant when I am cleaning the tank or the water is disturbed in some way. I think they are trying to capture food with these strings because my bubble coral has the same stringy type stuff come out of it...
Anyone got any ideas on a fish that can keep the algae under control in my tank? I don't want a tang as i have had bad luck with my last two. Don't really want a foxface or a lawnmower blenny just because i don't like the way they look. Is there anything else out there? I have a 75 gal reef...
I have hundreds of small snails in my tank that somehow came in with the liverock. They are called collonista snails i believe and only come out at night. I hear that these commonly reproduce in aquariums. Possibly could be some of these?
I have the same problem. My PH stays around 7.8 or 7.9. Adding a ph buffer will keep mine up for a few days but i constantly have to add a couple of teaspoons of powdered buffer every few days. Make sure that you buffer your top off water before adding it to the tank.
If your tank cant support that many snails some will die and the population will even itself out. If you are worried you could always take some out and give them away.
