I recently purchased a MH fixture with a 150W MH and 2 x 14 w T5 actinics. I haven't installed it on my tank yet since I just got it in, but i have had thoughts that maybe a 150W MH is too much for my 18 Gal. Since the ballast is set up for 150 watts, does that mean i HAVE to use a 150 watt...

I still vote leave it, maybe if i say it in a public forum you'll listen to my vast amount of knowlege. lol.

What can I say, you trained me well.

I am almost completely certain its a wart.

Thanks guys, thats exactly what I was looking for. That sucks that his tank crashed. I guess I was away from the sight for so long that I didn't really know anything that was going on.

Does anyone remember the guy on here....probably 4 or 5 years ago with the 550 gallon reef that he had in the wall in his office? Do you remember the 6.5 ft long bristle worm he pulled out of his plenum? I am looking for pictures from that guys tank and the bristleworm. Any help?

til it stops making bubbles... mine is about 2 inches below the surface.

Is it a reef ready tank? Open top?

This morning my FD lost his crown, so I knew it was pretty much over from that point for him. Around lunch he crawled out of his tube, which I expected. I know he is going to die, no doubt there, but he's not dead yet. The question I have is: is it normal for a cleaner shrimp to eat a worm...

wow, that was in depth, thanks. I guess I should get them off the rock and down to the substrate huh, lol.

What is a feather duster tube made of? What does the duster do if it doesn't like where it is?

netting over the top of the overflow(s)

well, I know that this site sells copepods. If its a fairly mature tank, you should be able to get the crud or rubble from an established tank and it should seed yours....

Have you ever had the honor of removing a damsel or chromis from a tank? Good luck. a cocktail shrimp saves so much trouble if you are starting the cylcle. I personally never add anything to my tank that I don't want to keep....just so I don't have to go through the same junk twice.

Well crap, it doesn't look like a 75. Looks smaller or something....anyway, that's not important anymore, lol. Lets just all forget what I've said so far....makes everyones life a whole lot easier.

Originally Posted by big I see you have a 75 gallon with some reservations to linking you to this thread. Where'd you come up with that conclusion? Looks more to me like a 20L or maybe a 55gal, not anything there to really reference the size to, but not a 75, just my opinion from what I can...
