I thought you were going to say you gave your Lobster a warm bath and cooked him!!

Ok, Thanks Bang Guy!

I ordered mine. Saved ALOT of money and it come full of stuff on and in it. Very nice looking pieces. Every LFS I have been in the rock looks to have no life at all. My vote is to order it. ;) Put the extra money towards other stuff for the tank and most likely get better rock!

Originally posted by dburr Montipora is a SPS. LIGHTS ARE NEEDED. Metal halide lights. Not T5's. They are not brite enough. You may get by, but it wont thrive. Im curious, Is this from personal experience with T-5 lights and/or M. Digitata? I am by far a pro at this hobby, I'm just a noob...

What tank conditions are needed before I can start adding Some coral? I would like to add some montipora digitata. The cycle is complete and I believe I have good lighting. Four 46.5" T5's on an IceCap 660 ballast. Two 03's one 50/50 and one Aquasun.

OK So I dont want them to stop and should not help in removing them? The sand bed water and LR was all put in on 4-24-03. The bubbles just started about a week ago and were growing bigger daily. Is the N gas that comes up harmfull to anything? Coral or live animals?

I have 5 sand sifting snails and about 10 Hermitts that dig in the sand sometimes. So the bubbles will stop? Its kind of an eye sore.

The ones I have were sold under the name "Pusiostoma mendicaria" some of these are bright yellow and some beige. The Name dosnt really mean much thought I would guess... that dosnt mean that is whats in the bag. :rolleyes: I thought all my trochus snails must have been sick... Its starting to...

I have a 4" DSB and the top 1 1/2" is FULL of air bubbles. Can anyone explain WHY I have this, if it will continue and should I do anything about it? Tonight I mixed the sand up a little bit to let them out then I thought maybe I shouldnt have done that? Im sure they are there for a reason...

Are you saying these "bumble bee snails" will KILL other snails? I just bought 8 of these little guys along with some other snails and some crabs. well almost all of the other snails are now dead. and how I tell the other snails are dead is when he is covered in bumble bee snails. Everytime I...

I used Nature's ocean aragonite and their Live Sand. 140 lbs gave me a fat 4" DSB. I also have LR in there taking up some room so if no LR in yours you might be a little less. Different Sands weigh in at different weights per cubic foot so its hard to say exactly. The formula I come up with...

Hey overanalyzer. I'm sorry but I didnt really save any links. All I did was search T-5 here and the forum at reefcentral.com Reefcentral has a sponsor section and in there is IceCap. I found quit a bit there. I also searched google for Aquarium T-5 and found alot of pages. There is tons on...

Overdriving the T5 with an IceCap Ballast results 80w from the 48" 54w NO bulbs. The Bulb life overdriven is still expected to be longer then that of a VHO. In the area of 18-24 months! 4 years at normal watts! :eek: Atleast this is what I am reading. In a post at Reef Central, Andy from IceCap...

Thanks Kip. I did what I should have done before I posted... a search on t5's! :o I will be buying my lights in the next couple/few weeks so I think I might try and learn a little more on t5 vrs VHO. So far looks like the t5 is a good way to go!
