Hi gang! Can someone tell me if there's a big difference between 14000K and 15000K. I'm trying to build a halide setup, and I want to do it right the first time. BTW,...I'm doing this for my BioCube29. Here's what I got so far: SuperReef 15000K HQI Metal Halide 150W watt Double Ended Lamp...

It does run well,...I just want to make it run better. I've got a refuge/sump and a protein skimmer that'll fit under my stand.

Hi guys! Well,...I've FINALLY got all the parts to my puzzle. I have a canopy that was made for my biocube 29 so I can have LED bulbs mounted inside. The only brainfart that I'm having is figuring out how/where to mount my HOB Eshoff overflow box... Any ideas of how to do it or pictures of...

Hi guys/gals! Here's my story. Five days ago I treated my 29gallon biocube with a Tropical Science red hair algae and Cyanobacteria additive and phosphate pads. I followed the directions to the "T!" It worked like a charm. My problem started two days ago.... My frogspawn is not what it used to...

Well,... I've done water changes... I can't add another powerhead in my BioCube.... I've decreased feeding amounts.... I don't use a heater... Is it time to change my PC bulbs. They're the culprit. After turning them on,...the cyano blooms begin. The picture is 15 minutes after the PC's turn...

I don't know what the hell to do about my Cyano blooms! Within MINUTES of turning on my PC's, it shows up on my rock. I mean, in MINUTES!!! So, I've been running my tank with only my actinics. What is going on?!?!?

I've got a clown, 6-line, & a canary blenny. No more.

What are the "drivers?" The last page of the instructions said, "In the picture below, we managed to fit the drivers into the hood. This is not necessarily true for all nano hood. The drivers with fit in the AP24, but not the BC29." What's that mean?

all this cautious talk about the red slime remover is making me NERVOUS. I think I'll pass on using that... This stuff grows OVERNIGHT!!! I'd clean it out in the morning and it'd be right back the next day! ARGHHHHHH!!!!

Right now I have a 36watt PC and 36watt actinic bulbs. Not sure what brand that bulb is... Is having one 12000k and one royal blue too strong for my tank?? Will there be room enough in an above the tank canopy for two bulbs? How high should the bulbs be off the water line?

what are my limitations with this bulb? http://www.ledwholesalers.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=702 thanks!

Hey folks! I'm thinking about getting some PAR 38 LED's for my biocube. I just want some help and clarification from your experience. 1. How big are the bulbs? 2. Where can I buy them? I saw them on Ecoxotic's site... 3. Is 12000K brighter than the 20000K? Or is it the higher the K value...

Sad to report, he's passed on to greater oceans... I was feeding him the same stuff they fed the fish where I bought him.

I'd hate to add another powerhead, simly because I've got no room. If I put it on the opposite side of my other one, directly under the stock return nozzle, it'll blow right into my frogspawn. I don't think he'll like that very much. I'll find some red slime remover, do some more water...

My canary blenny is not doing to well. I brought it two days ago from my LFS. It hasn't eaten since and looks thin. ANY advice would be appreciated... Thanks!
