Anybody use one of these units? I was thinking about getting one but wanted to see if there were any known problems with it.

About two years ago a lfs advised me to add iodine to my tank because it was needed for sucessful xenia growth. (this is before I found all these message boards and information) I figgured the lfs knows what they are talking about and started adding iodine. Well to make a long story short I...

bang, I have been reading this because my xenia has not been looking good for the last week. I just went back and read kip's thread and I think you solved my problem. My ca and my dkh is not balanced. I have been bumping my alk up, but stupid me, I diddnt even think about my ca and alk not being...

good point bang, I just figgured mine liked the high alk,gotta go read kip's article again:thinking:

wocka, I will have to agree with Kip mine do best when my dkh is around 10-11. I might have skipped over it but have you tested dkh latley?

I really like the inwall look too, Very nice set-up.

I am using one on my 90 and it works great. Dont get the overflow box though I got one and took if off a week later.

attml, Thanks for the reply, That is the same lighting I was using on my 90gal, I just switched from ushio to coralvue 12K. I was wondering if I had enough lighting for sps, or if I needed 400w bulbs. But if that is what you are using maybe I will try some more sps's. IMO you sps guys have the...

attml great shots, are you running 400W bulbs on that tank? Also what k bulbs are you using?

I have to disagree with calvindo, there is a break in period for bulbs. I just swithched from 10K to 12K. When I first turned the 12K bulbs on they were very blue, just as blue as my actinic bulbs. But after about 20 hours or so they became a very crisp white with a hint of blue. Im not sure if...

Thanks RobChuck, I just wish I could get a good pic of it.

Thanks golfish, I appreciate the info.

Good point golfish, I was not thinking of it that way, but your right.

golfish that tank is just awesome. thanks for the info.

Its under 2 250W mh I was not sure if that was on the low side of the lighting requirements, I think it might be. My camera dosent have a manual focus so its hard for me to focus on just that coral. Thanks for the fast response guys.

those pics were taken last week this in tonight, you can kinda see (in my blurry pics) how it has started to recover, at least it seems like it so maybe I will get lucky and it will rebound.

thanks for the fast reply skirby, kinda why I took it, i figured it was doomed in his tank anyway maybe I can bring it back. (I hope)

I cant seem to get a very clear pic of it but here is another one.

sorry the pic is so blurry

Ok this is my first sps, could anybody tell me exactly what kind it is. What color I should expect, or will stay brown? And before you flame me I could not pass this coral up because it was just going to die at the lfs, plus it was only $4.
