Doesnt really appear to be worms although I should look closer cause it is possible. Seems like and awful lot of bristle worms. Will post a pic as soon as I can

Can we please not start a tap H20 debate here. I am just curious if the tiny fuzzies (that look like hair) on the LR that is curing is already the beginning of a hair algae outbreak. I will try and post a pic this week but any info on the subject will help (Other than do not use tap water!!!)...

Thanks killer. Not the answer I was looking for.

I have a newly cycled tank which has barely any wattage on it for at most 2.5 hrs per day (nothing in it but rock and worms). On the established LR that I have there is good corraline growth but it seems that on the live rock that was ordered from SWF there are tiny hairs on the rock. I dont...

When you buy one of these units from awi do they come with filters installed or do you have to purchase this separetly. How easy or handy is the float valve?

I am from Baltimore, We are famous for Crabs. The greatest ever.

I have heard great things about both units. IT is a tough call without a doubt. Maybe I will flip a coin. Heads or Tails?

I do understand that the tank will not be lit to my satifscation but the way it is setup it is difficult to get three setup (i could and may in the future but they still would be spaced properly). So for now, I will get to and hang them directly over the piles of rock.

I should be able to get them far enough away from the surface of the tank but they may be close to the walls. Is that okay? Thanks

^bump Anyone know the best way to keep a pendant cool other than point a fan at it

Will the HI-S remove too many checmicals or is it technical better to be purer.

I think having a blue tint would look kind of neat. However, I could do some re-arranging in the future and get some PC actinics. I also like the option of the pendants cause I can always add another one. tough calls all around One question. What is the best way to keep them cool. How...

Can anyone recommend a solid RODI unit. I was looking into getting the Maxxima Hi-S (50GPD). Is this a good unit. Are there additional things that need to be purchased when buying a RODI like filters etc. or do they come with the units.

The tank is 180 Gallon but it is built into the wall. Only so much of the tank is exposed from the back on one side and on the other there is a little access panel that I could fit a pendant in. Im really just trying to get started and I will move forward with the lighting as i go. To start I...

I understand all too well about actninc bulbs and how nice it would be to have them. But currently, with my setup and the back of the tank which is very limited in space (after months of research feel the best way is to hang two 400W pendants(i mean many hours and just about every situation)) I...

I was thinking of getting 2 400W MH pendants. If I did this I would not hav eany dawn/dusk effect. What if I were to get blueish colored 12000k bulbs . Would this create a nice asthetic look.

Overanalyzer -- It is a pendant how can I possibly have a fan blowing in and out. Not sure where I would put a fan? Thoughts? Also, do I nede actinics or can I simply get a blueish MH 200W bulb. This would make my life a lot easier

Fishman - I usually got to the House of Tropicals in Glen Burnie since I work in Annapolis and live in Baltimore, it is on the way home. The Aquarium Center out Liberty road is awesome though. HUUGGEE. Great selection but a little pricy. Any answers to the pendant ?

^Bump

The pendant i was referring to was more of a hooded pendadnt with a fan and actinics. What if I were to do this: Buy 2 400W MH pendants (Should I get a more blueish color lamp for asthetics since I will not be able to run actninics with this). One site is running a sale: 400W MH Pendant w/...
