I don't remember the brand of the bulb, I do remember it was expensive. I enjoy the way it looks, but I was more concerned about the life in the tank getting the correct spectrum for growth. Thanks for the heads up.

Should I supplement my Aquapod with actinic lighting when I use a 150w 14k bulb over a 12g aquapod? Thanks!

I'm curious if there are any natural causes for the calcium to rise extremely high in my cube. My levels are as follows: Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 Ph 8.4 Ammonia 0 Temp 80 CALCIUM 1000 I recenly had a heat outbreak, and some die off followed. Lost a couple corals, but nothing that would effect the...

well... after a few days the only corals I have lost were my xenia and the frogspawn. very minimal if you ask me. thanks for your help with the quick responses!

a chiller can fail like my fans did. it maintains 80 without a chiller and two 5 inch fans. This is the first time this aquarium has gone above it, even with the halides. im not asking about how i can keep it cool for the future, but how to bring it down slowly and safely.

Im confident that it has been running at this temp for atleast 5 hours. how long do you think that it will have to maintain such a high temp to kill things in the tank?

I just got home from work and found the outlet that supports the fans that blow over my tank are off.... In return my MH light brought the water temp up to 94 degrees. I turned the light off and brought a bigger fan to blow over the tank and am hoping that it will cool down. My corals are...

I don't run a sump, so the only place for the IceProbe to go is in the rear filtration.

Anybody ever installed an IceProbe chiller on a 12g aquapod? I recently purchased one for my pod and am reluctant to installing it without any real invasive alterations to the tank other than the 1 1/4" hole that needs to be drilled into the back. Thanks!

I have perfect water parameters across the board, the lighting is a viperII, and everything appears to be normal. The anemone is healing fine. It has however only been in the tank for a little over 2 months now. When I purchased it, it was large, and as it acclimated and grew used to my tank...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to care for an anemone that is newly split? I know both pieces haven't healed, and the new anemones are very active and moving around to a comfortable spot, but is there anything else I can do? Thanks

That is inspiring. There are so many nice setups on here it's amazing. I think a lot of people are illiterate, partially blind, or just plain ignorant and don't read the first post thoroughly. It states that the tank has been established for 2 years, and it looks healthy. What works for...

I came across a carcass (or possibly a moulted body) of a crab floating around in my tank. I purchased my live rock from a fellow reefer and it's possible that the crab came from there. My only concern is that I cannot find any crabs with the [hr] eye as I watch this tank religiously and...

I couldn't find my royal gramma anywhere in my tank so I decided to pop the top on my aquarium. I caught it swim down in the pump bay of the back of the tank into the dead area that is beneath the two center slots. Does anybody have any experience with this issue, and have any suggestions on...

BTW... I have a 12g aquapod with dual PC bulbs. I've had the anemone for going on 3 months without any problems. I think it is a very common mis-conception that you need to have MH or T5 lighting to have an anemone. Mine has been quite healthy until my lighting issue today. Just food for...

Thanks for your insight. I left for a few hours after getting the lighting situation figured out and the anemone is blown back up to normal. That was my first equipment malfunction with this reef and I've never experienced anything like this....... Kinda scary. Thanks again.

I replaced them with what I have in the tank, Sunpaq 50/50 actinics and the Sunpaq daylights. It's been without light for atleast 6 hours. I turn the lights off over night, and the anemone was cool when the timers kicked the lights back on this morning, but I don't know if the lights went out...

Something cause my hood lights to go out in my nanocube and my anemone has closed up. It hasnt expelled it's insides, but the anemone looks like it is in bad shape. I replaced the bulbs, but I need some closure in knowing if it's going to be ok. Thanks
