    Isn't that all blue lighting? I was trying to avoid doing that. Unless I don't understand the color of the lights mentioned

    Bulb Replacement

    Anyone? I have decided on ATI bulbs. I dont want anything too blue. Im looking for a nice natural look. Similar to a 14k MH bulb. I was thinking about 2x 39W Blue Plus T5 HO Fluorescent. 1x 39W Pro Color T5 HO Fluorescent, and 1x 39W 12000K Aquablue Special T5 HO Fluorescent. Good or too blue?

    40g BR Lighting

    Right now I have a 250w MH SE bulb over my 40g BR tank. I have 3 sps frags, LPS, Softies, and leathers. Right now everything is growing nicely but some corals are not fully opening and the tank is getting hotter each day with summer. I would like to upgrade or possibly downgrade to a Odyssea 36"...

    Bulb Replacement

    I am going to be replacing my 250w MH with a Odyssea 36" 156W (4x 39W) T5 HO Light Fixture. I would like to replace the bulbs so they aren't stock bulbs. Can someone please recommend a good brand and a light spectrum that I can use for this new fixture?

    Acan or Chalice?

    Ok. Thank you. How long before I feed it? And how often? Right now its under a 250w MH at the bottom of my 40g Breeder, with medium flow. Sound Good?

    MH to T-5

    Right now I have a 250W MH Pendent with a 14k bulb running over my 40BR. The head is ridiculous and I lose alot of water. This hasnt been that bad of an issue. I am looking at a 6 bulb t-5 36'' Fixture. I have SPS on a frag rack on the top 1/3 of my tank and LPS/Zoo's/Softies everywhere else. If...

    Coral Websites

    SWF does have some great stuff. But the only Acans they have available are a $200 combo pack. Which I dont have the money for at the moment or I would buy it. I was looking for relatively smaller/cheaper pieces to start out with. I dont want to blow $200 and have all of them die. None of my LFS...

    GSP spreading rapidly but not opening fully

    The MH is on for about 7 hours. I have two different types of GSP if that is possible. Normal looking GSP and then smaller, thinner GSP. Its kind of hard to explain but the smaller type fully open. The ones that dont open get nice random flow so I ruled out a flow issue. I just dont understand...

    GSP spreading rapidly but not opening fully

    I have had a medium colony of GSP for well over a year now that have spread a lot. Ever since I changed my lighting from a PC 4 bulb system to a 250w MH, they refuse to open all the way. The MH has been up and running for at least 6 months now. The GSP colony is on the lower 1/3 of the tank and...

    Mantis Pipes?

    No problem. Tunnel looks good to me. They are surprisingly flexible.

    Mantis Pipes?

    Great rock work but with my Peacock, she likes to barricade her PVC burrow sometimes with sand and rock. I found that if the PVC is touching the sandbed, it will be easier for her to do what she wants. But that is only my opinion and that is what I have found works for mine.
