    Lighting and corals!!!

    Euphylia (frogspawn, hammer, torch) do not require that intense light. I think both of you would be able to keep specimens of either. I don't think that MH lights are necesarry for these corals, but it would be a good upgrade overall. I have both a frogspawn and a branching hammer that are...

    Who has the biggest?

    I think the aquarium at the Atlantis Hotel on Paradise Island in the Bahamas takes the cake. For those of you who have seen it in person then you will definately agree. AND I heard that IT IS the largest aquarium in the world! It is 11 million gallons and contains 50,000 animal from over 200...

    Critters in refuge question..

    Refugiums are a place for things to grow (copepods, amphipods, ect.) free from predation. For this reason we usually don't put any hermits or any type of critters in there, maybe only a couple snails to keep the algae under control.

    Another way to look at calcium, alk and pH

    Broomer, that is the craziest analogy I have ever heard someone come up with for ANYTHING, but in some strange way it all makes sense. I looks like you really put a lot of time into that. Thanks :)

    hot ballast

    BigMac, I don't know what kind of E-ballast you have, but my Icecap couldn't run cooler. I even used the heat sink that you get with the Iecap on my magnetic ballast that runs the lghts over my refugium. That really help the magnetic stay cool. Go to your hardware store and see if they sell...

    reeflooker, the deepest I have ever dove is 121ft on air at the Hudson Grotto which is a gigantic sink hole. At that deapth it was freezing and even with two lights I could barely read my computer. That is pretty much the deepest you can dive around here. The deepest I have been in the Gulf...

    MH for acros/montis

    I think I would go with 2 175s for your setup. If you place one on each side of your tank it would give you a better distribution of light throughout your tank. I have one 175w in the center of my 55g and it produces a real bright area in the center of the tank. I hope to add another 175 in...

    new tank

    What do you mean as far as "power filter:? Are you talking about a wet/dry or similar filter? I think most will agree with fshhub that the best filtration starts with a lot of live rock and a good amount of live sand. Most people will tell you that 1.5-2 lbs of LR per gallon of water is...

    RyeBread how the heck did you manage to stretch your nipples to 8ga? It hurt going from 14 to 12. Yours must be deep like mine for you to have been able to get that big.
