    Electronic Ballast or Magnetic?

    From my reading the Electronic ballast will also extend the life of the bulb. I asked the question before about lifespan and was told that my 250DE MH would have a life of about 10 months on magnetic and 16 months on electronic. If this is the case you are saving money in bulbs as well.

    Guy, How do you

    that would be difficult without taking the rock out and that rock is the base for all my rockwork. The rock is nice fiji and is loaded with holes and most of the ricordia have planted themselves in the holes. I guess if they cause problems with my acros i'll just kalk them to death.

    Guy, How do you

    I don't know. The rock they are on is on the bottom of my rock formation and i wanted to remove some to put in another tank and trade some out at the lfs. And since the tank has shifted to mostly sps i want to be able to remove them if i have to.

    Guy, How do you

    How do you remove your ricordia from the rocks. The orange one i got from you probably over a year ago has finally split. It did nothing until last month when i moved. When my tank was finally set up in the new house he split into about 6 or 7 new ones. So i was just curious as to how you...

    Need help starting a tank

    If you want coral you must consider the lighting as well. Always buy the best you can afford in the beginning or you will end up going back and wanting to change it. Your lighting can limit you on what coral you put into the tank. Other things to thing about are Protien Skimmers, Sumps...

    What would you recommend?

    Get a 150 to 250 MH DE pendant. You could keep anything with that and you can view the tank from the top.

    Problems with Perc

    I just noticed that my perc has black spots on its stomach that look like mold or fungus. I've had him for about two years now and I recently moved, at which time I lost about 80% of my acros. Everything else looks fine. I've never been one to test the water regularly just go off of what some...
