This is a long shot but does anyone know the power ratings for a Coralife Aqualight 2x96w? I can't find the info anywhere on the unit and I'm trying to get my timers to work with it but I think they are under rated. Any ideas? Cheers!

How long has the tank been set up?

Just tested my water. (trite) - 0 mg/l (trate) - 0-5 mg/l (amm) - .6-1.2 mg/l Alk - 120 mg/l (2.4 meq/l) PH - 7.9 Ca - 460 ppm I just realized that my conversions to meq/l from the alk readings my Hagen gave are way off. The correct one (posted) pegs my water params as being completely...

Thanks for the replies. I know there really isn't a whole lot you can do without seeing the tank for itself or the anemone, so i appreciate that. Before the addition of the anemone and hawk everything was 'normal' ph 8.2 (7.8-8.6 depending on what test kit I use.. the hagen which is what...

While I have been keeping a tank for 3 years I still consider myself a newbie (as this disclosure will either confirm or deny lol). Recently (11/24) I added a LT Anemone and a Flame Hawk to my tank (60 gallon) along with a Clarkii, two cleaner shrimp, and a Bi-Color Blenny that have been living...

lava rock will leech metals into your water. go with lace rock if available at your LFS, or you can even make your own if you are industrious enough :) cheers!

Ok cool so that 3-5 minute rule still applies to frozen food.. i dunno mead... if they were buffalo wings i might be able to eat those forever lol!!

All of my test kits were getting low so yesterday i bought the hagen master test kit. I've used their calc and po4 tests before but has anyone had any problems with their PH test? The thing is showing colors that aren't on the charts?!? What the heck? I must have tested my water 5 different...

Hey gang, i just switched to feeding frozen prime reef (which the fish love btw).. but this is my first attempt at feeding frozen foods. How much should I feed (like one block, half a block, 1/4... 1/8.. 1/32... lol)?? I'm used to flake and can judge that just fine but I seem to be putting too...

tizzo - mine does that as well... the first night i had him i thought he was a goner!! I was so worried about him for like a week.. 3.5 years and two tanks later he is doing the same thing. Cheers!

I acclimate by floating a specimen container (the things that hang on the side of the tank that the LFS use to move your new fish to the bag) in the tank and adding water using a syringe for 1.5-2 hours. I like using the solid plastic container because it doesn't collapse on itself like the...

If you are willing to test for it try dripping some kalk.. it will help w/ Coraline growth at the very least. I have FOWLR and have had very good luck with it. cheers!

For cleaning the sand bed i'd get a Fighting Conch. Mine is awesome (when I see him...) Cheers.

I have a 100 micron filter sock. It is getting clogged, rinsing it does not seem to do the trick. Any ideas on how to clean it? Someone mentioned to put it in the washing machine but I dunno about that...

1 minute time limit for editing? whatever. i was going to add that there is even a school of thought that claims no substrate is the way to go. so don't feel bad about using crushed coral :) waste removal is the most important thing IMO to consider w/ a closed system such as our aquariums. i am...

I used the sand at home depot... no ill-consequences. I already spent enough on rocks there was no way in _____ I was going to pay 200 bucks for sand. cheers. nacl

I'll put my vote in for Euro-Reef. Very very high quality skimmer I love mine. nacl
