    Do URI Actinic Whites look pink?

    I just got a new VHO retro for my tank and was wondering if my actinic white bulb should look pink? I have never had VHO's before, so I don't know what they should look like. Will these bulbs "burn in" like halides or will they stay the same color? They are running on an ice cap 660 with two...

    How much is too much?

    Is there ever too much flow? I know that too much from powerheads can be bad because of their narrow stream, but what about from other sources. For instance in my tank right now I have a Seio M620 (620 GPH) and a return system from my sump that has two RIO 1400's (-4 ft, 243 GPH). It is a 30 gal...

    how do I glue a frag?

    I just bought a monti frag and am wanting to attach it to a rock at the bottom of my tank. I would prefer to not have to dig the rock out to dry the piece. Can I just put the super glue on the frag and stick it under water? Will this work? Thanks for any help, AJ
