hmmmmm.......i am not sure if you are telling the truth.......but if you are i would recommend getting a plan together and posting it here (inclding equipment, what your doing to keep fish ALIVE, and what live stock and stuff like that)
Brad
i would really recomend 4 ll ll (in that arrangement)
or 3 _ _ _ (in that arrangement)
if they are DE bulbs i would try to get them 10 inches from the surface if you have 4...and about 8 inches if you have 3
(if you go with four i would have a set of 10k and 20k in each pair.....total cost would...
hmmm does it seem to wave in the flow a little or does it seem to be extending its mantle on its own....a few more pics would maybe help decide if you have a healthy clam or not....
Brad
yea i have a 1/3 chiller but still will six of these babies it gets hoooottt.......i think i am just going to nleave it where it is and see how that works out for me........
and thanks for the compliments
Brad
alright give 1 billion dollars and you can borrow it :D
some ppl on -- were saying its to high what do you think....for 6 250w i think 20 inches above the water is fine?????
what do you think?
Brad
i don't think you have to dose anything....bad thing is they might put a root through the silicon sealant and make a leek......but they are pretty good...slow growers though
Brad
wait its inside your anenome......it shouldn't be able to eat an anenome that big....maybe its because your anenome is half dead anyway.......its going to die either way i would give your shrimp a meal while your at it :D
Brad
i don't want to fry the corals..lol....no need the 20k's will handle the blue spectrum...actually its a little blue i may change the 10k's to 6500k if i can find any in 250w DE
BRad
russian spy: try marine depot....they have the 20k's....
Kistheeze: they are computer fans so its really just a little louder than a big computer (like the buzzing noise you here)
yea its alot of light i am hopeing to get good color and growth by mixing 10k and 20k.......
and hopefully my cycle...
your still not qualfied to give advice....
inless you have a lot of experience with fish i would recommend not getting the mandarin or lepord wrasse...other than that it looks pretty good
Brad
kip..amazingly enough even with this techneque (sp) i have found them to spread to other spots .......i have anthelia that have crossed the tank some how and same with some zoos and xenia
Graham, you gotta love the wholesalers...you can always find something they forgot about and get it...
hmmm that sucks......i suggest lowering the temp. slowly and just try to get things back to normal......i am not sure if your coral is dead you have a picture?
