here's a couple of pics right after I had just handfed my hair mushrooms, they love to be feed

I have changed over from compact to t-5 on my 75gal. It's been incrediable. I bought the 6 bulb unit, very little heat come off the lights. My coral love the lights

Please view my pic, this is with new t-5 lights very happy with them. :happyfish

I havn't tried a clam yet, I do have 2 Frogspawns , Hammer, chile, hairmushrroms. pink tip enemone, carpet anomone,leather,zoes,and elephant ear, with all doing very well.

If u buy a unit, make sure to look for ones that have idividual reflector for each bulb. you get more lighting this way. You are also right very little temp diffence whey they are on. I noticed that u are from East Hampton, Ct. I used to live right beind the hathway inn next to the lake.

hello, did your light unit come with fans. If so they should still come on even if the light ballast went. Did u try a plug that u knew worked. Most surge protectors have a resent button, did this work. I would even try plugging something in the protector that u know works. This would help cross...

I was just reading your problem, just a question, do you use ro water or tap. If it's city water thy flush out every so often and put more additive in the water which your coral differently would not like. :thinking:

hello. I bought the 6 bulb t-5 unit for my 75gal. I use 3 10k sunlights and 3 artinic. my tank coral exploded after using the new light. I love the light system .

they need no light, so having mimunim lighting is okay, the hardest part is they must be target feed. Use the cup method it works the best.

hello, I have a five stage unit. The only thing I would change is getting the bigest holding tank u can order. It will save time with water changes. Also get a good tupperware container. U can then use that for storage.

I do the same thing. I found that using a turkey baster works well. I just put a small amount of water in it and line up the pellets. then just spot feed. works great, and cheap to. :thinking:

My blue carpet annome has retracted and will not open up. I have offered food (shrimp, scallops, clams) which it was eating before, but now will not. I have a 75gal Lights 8 bulb t-5, 6 10k and 2 artnic water 0 ammon 0 nitates 400 cal. 2.0 phospates 1.024 spec gavity temp 80 I use ro water only...

Hello. I have a canister filter, I clean it every two weeks. They can harbor a nitrate load if your not careful. I also clean my powerheads and skimmer every other weekend, The skimmer cup gets washed out every day.

i bought the same stuff, not real impressed with it. I tried soaking it, but to would just sit in the tank without dissloving. I finally had the smash it up on a plate before giving it to the fish. didn't like the product.

I have two of them. I feed mine at night. they come out after about 1/2 hours when olny the artinic lights are on. They really puff ou when the are feeding, during the day they almost look dead. goodluck with them.

jsut about two weeks. the tenicles open but are very small. I have tries spot feeding him also. I believed the t-5 lights were strong enough for this coral.

I recently purchased a frogspawn. I had him under med light (t-5's 4bulb 10k sunlight) with med water flow. The LFS suggested this location. He hasn't been happy, Where are they the happist ? All my other coral and anomones are doing fine. Any help would be great. :help: :help:

I read your post, then ran to my tank and feed my carpet a whole shrimp. I didn't think they would eat that much. I had been feeding it krill. He sucke that thing in like a kid with a hershey bar.

New t-5 lights :cheer: from santa what a difference!
