I leave mine on 24/7 also. THe reason people sayto run them opposite of the DT is it will help keep your ph up after the lights go out in the DT. Either way is fine. As far as growth goes I think it will grow faster with lights on all the time but really it depends on what you have in the water...

I have had one for over a year now. I used to spot feed it but one day it dissapeared. After a while I feared it to be dead. But the other day I upgraded to my 180 and removed all the rock out of my 55 and there he was as happy as could be. But He is about 3'' now so he might not have long to live.

There crap. Cheap fixtures off the bay. The bulbs suck and have herd of them catching on fire.

Are you sure you are talking nitrites and not nitrates? IMO if you nitrites are 5.0 your fish should already be dead. And if there not I would have to agree with Joe and thats your top priority. If you are talking nitrates I would not worry about it and go after the ICH first.

lol a lawn maower is a cool fish but not a fix all for alge. Keeping nutrents in check and old fashond manual removible is key there good luck

sweet choices start about 10-12 then the nem and acro will thank you

let me get back to you after I get off work I think I have some legs at home that are not being used. If I can find them you can have them.

no no the attinic run the ati and keep it low. I am talking the mh hang it over the tank of you can about 12 - 18 and you will be fine. You might have to raise or lower it depending on the corals and stuff you want to keep. But that is a good starting point.

Well the 150 is on the high side for the depth of the tank. But it will be fine just keep it up. And the attnic wont make a difference at all.

also just a thought try to see if you can trade the 150 for a 70 that would be better for the tank. But a 150 will work

the attinic will not be a problem at all. Just keep the hailide up kinda high. And move it down if you need to

well I dont know how much alge you got but yes diatoms should go away and the lights you got will be fine for coraline alge and some corals. The bio wheel filter I do not recomend but is fine. However it can and most likely will cause nitrates down the road. I would go sump but thats just my...

I would not pay that for them but it is a nice lookin fish.

sounds like it is a fairly nwe tank with diatom alge. It is common in new tanks and will go away on its own. I call it part of your cycle but the ulgy part of your cycle.

dude I have a drum set sitting about 5ft away from my tank. And my brother has a full stack for his guitar. Trust me it bothers the nieghborhood alot more than my tank. I think at first it will scare them but evrything will adapt to there enviroment.

it can happen. When I first got mine I dont care is I put a shark in there he would attack. Now he seems a little more calm but come feeding time dont get in his way.

I am not saying no. But damsils are just mean fish and dont get along with nothing. But I have 2 chromis and a blue damsil with no real problems but I got the chromis first and after.

actually a 150 should be fine. Even with the attinic. But you will have to have the mh up I would say about 12-18'' off the water. Not sure how deep a 20 gal is but I have 2 X 250 mh and 2X54 t5 attinic over my 55 with no issues. Also have a fan blowing at the light to lower heat issues and you...

devil fish dont get along with anything. If you put the chromis in rearrange the rock work a little and get chromis bigger than satins little helper already in your tank
