A guy at the LFS told me that I would need to replace my bulbs every 6 months. Said the spectrum on these lights fade at 6 months. Is this true? I read when i bought them they should be good for 12-18 months. They are 150w de HQI 20k Do I need to replace these? they are currently 4-5 months...

I was lookin at getting some things to help upkeep my sandbed and such. Do Pods help with Sandbed any? Which of the following would be best for a reef tank? Micro Stars Sand Burrowing Brittle Stars Short Spined Brittle Stars

ya, thats what he had said. He told me that in order to make any type dent in the water the water change would have to be done in a large swap out. on a side note. how long does it take for a coral to set itself? I got several corals from a friend and he told me to use super glue to stick it...

not sure where that is. Can you email me an address? KSJefferies@hotmail.com Thanks!

Is thi required to maintain Pods? All mine died off and I was told it was because i didnt feed them phytoplankton?

Anyone know where I could get some Tri-colored Zoo's? Cant seem to find any online or at LFS...

So that wouldnt be to much to do? 50g a month on a 72g with a 25-30g sump? Im keeping the tank covered except for 4 hours a day i switch the lights on at night. btw...by covered i mean the front and sides of the tank. I left the back portion of the canopy open so air and gas exchange can...

Alright, I swapped out about 27g of water out of the tank. I was thinking I would keep the lighting off for a few days to help rid the cyano. Would this be a good thing or a bad thing to do? Would it be damaging to my corals or just the water change be enough to kick start the removal of the...

Good thought, I guess that means I need to get a phosphate test kit huh? :)

The lighting is PFO 150w de HQI 20k. They are approx 4-5 months old.

Well I went to the LFS and talked my problem over with this new guy. I explained my problem and all I have done to try to solve it. He didnt recommend me using any chemical solutions to solve it. For one he said my tank sounds to be a normal 6 month old tank. After telling him what i fed my...

I tired the Marine SAT, in fact I'm going on my third week of its use...which is Two bottles at $25 a piece. So far I havent seen any reduction in my cyno. I was willing to try this since I have been unable to find a cause for the cyno and it wasnt a chemical treatment. Contrary to their...

I am now going into my second week with the Marine SAT. I havent noticed anything so far either good or bad. It says it takes 2-4 weeks...so i will cross my fingers. If someone needs a supplier than im me on AIM: Soccer4life94

I wish I coulda gone... I had to work. Where you from? Boston here.

I currently have approx. 90lbs of Fiji rock. I dont have any green algae at all...if i do its so small the ceriths and astrea and keeping it down. or the two emeralds. I was trying to stay away from any hermits. From what i hear they only eat green/hair algae....and i dont have a problem...

Anyone?

I gotta tell ya, Im about two steps away from looking at a chemical fix for my cyno problem. I have new lights...so that isnt the problem. I run my lights for about 4-6 hours a day since all this has started. So to much light cant be the problem.... I run a Euro-Reef skimmer 24/7 and empty...
