Thanks all, and my soon to be, fellow reefer buddy thanks you also.

A friend of mine is setting up a 175 bowfront reef and wants to be able to put any type of coral in it eventually. the tank is 28 1/2" high. Will 3 - 250 watt HQI MH's accented with 2- 160 watt superactinic vho's be sufficient? Also, are the double ended HQI's as good as the standard single...

Anyone have an ID on this???

Me too!

Took a better picture of him today. He is a little shy, but is grazing constantly on the LR when I stand back a bit and watch.

Could someone tell me if this is a true linkia or not? If not, what is this six legged little guy?

Thanks for the info Carole!

This is my new reef addition, a black sailfin blennie. I know he is reef and invert safe. anyone have any other info on them?

How about an E.T.S.S. sea dragon? I Have heard many good things about them locally.

When trying to stabilize your Alk. and Ca using B-Ionic, it is OK to just use one of the two parts to try to get your parameters in line. Yes, part one does raise the Alk. Your Ca is close to what you want also 420-450 is good. You can stop dosing part one for a few days until your Ca goes up...

Makes sense to me. Thanks once again.

Bang Guy, Just had another question about using the lux meter. At what distance from the individual bulb do you hold the meter? Thanks, Frank

Originally posted by iluvfish I have some dark red algae growing on my LR. It's not slimy to touch - is it cyano? Can you have this color algae and it be okay? As kip stated, if it doesn't blow off or wipe off easy, it's probably a type of coralline. I have some on lower light sections of...

Still have them. First thing next week then?

Try a product called ROWAphos. Works great with no ill effects, unlike some other products out there.

Wow, nice zoos! Those pink ones will look good in there too!:D Awesome tank Kickster !!

My pagoda did this on 2 occassions. Once, when it flipped upside down onto the sandbed, it didn't open for 2 weeks. I though it was a goner. Another time it flipped and was touching my torch coral. It even seemed to lose some color and show some bare skeleton in a few spots.Again, didn't open...

Fish don't really have lighting preferences that I know of, but corals do well with blue light. The amount of blue and white light that you mix is your own taste in looks. Here is my old 46 gallon reef tank w/ 440 watts of VHO ( 220 white actinic and 220 super actinic) - 4 - 36" bulbs...

One other consideration is that PC 's run much hotter than VHO's in my experience. My preference is an even mix of super actinic and white actinic(12K). If you want a little less blue, then go w/ aqua suns(10k) intead of white actinics. I would definitely go with Ice Cap ballasts and URI...
