I think the 12K Sun Burst bulbs are the best of both worlds. There is a huge difference between the 10K reef grow bulbs and the 12K SunBursts. I'm running one of each until my second Sunburst arrives in the mail, and the color difference is amazing. I have some Prolifera (like calurpa with 3/8"...

I'm with MudPlayerX. Got Pepermint Shrimp?

We're talking about a Damsel about the size of a quarter. I didn't worry about it much, initially, because I have a large cleanup crew, and I thought the crabs would make short order of it. I now have about 200 pounds of live rock in my tank, and there are nooks and crannies all over the place...

Hi Michael. I can't tell what/how much the growth is. What should I be looking at? I'm a duck too, by the way. Three times over :yes:

I have a new 400 watt 10K on one side of my tank, and a 12K on the other. I think the 10K side looks all washed out and bleached; the 12K side looks great, so I'm thinking 12K or 14K would be best, though I have not seen the 20Ks.

Pooch, think hard about the color bulb you order too. I ended up with a !)K on one side and a 12K on the other. There is a BIG difference. I think the 10K bulb makes the colors look all bleached and washed out. If I had my druthers, I'd get a pair of 12Ks or 14Ks. (I have not seen the 20K bulbs.)

I bought from them too, I think. I just got the pcakage yesterday and, with the exception of a broken bulb, the system looks great - just as pictured. I have e-mailed them about the broken bulb, but I have not yet heard back, so I don't know how it will work out. Here's another thing to...

Could preserved have created the problem? I aks because it's a medium-large tank, and one or two small dead things normally would not even register on the chemical tests.

Thank you, Ophiura. My interpretation was nothing more than a guess based on observation and "scuttlebutt" - and obviously incomplete. You're right, everything in that section you posted seems like common sense and good manners. I'm not quite sure about what constitutes "subversive", but I'm...

I've spent then last ten minutes looking for the forum rules. I can't remember reading an agreement when I registered...but I know there are rules. I know you can not post links to any discount aquarium stores, and I think you get banned for saying anything critical about saltwaterfish.com, but...

I rode the crotch-rocket-type bike for about 15 years, ending about ten years ago. I'm grateful and I survierd it. I rode motocross as a kid and into my mid-twenties, so I thought I knew how to ride. I rode wheelie-riding horsepower for years thinking that I knew what I was doing. Years later I...

Hi gang. My ammonia just went through the roof. I think the cause is 1) A dying fish my wife saw but didn't remove - now it's carcas is lost in the rocks AND, possibly, 1/2 kirill which was placed for a coral banded, but may not have been found. (You know, you put the food in front of the coral...

LOL means laugh out loud? :notsure: I thought maybe it was the written equivalent of "um" or some other non-communicative filler. Some folks use it with the frequency of punctuation - or even more. It doesn't make much sense to me LOL but I'll try to get the hang of it LOL and blend in with the...

Thank you for the helpful pointers and good advice. I'm going to try to buy an acrylic tank this week.

Thanks folks. Masala, I was told that acrylic was more expensive in the standard sizes I am looking at. When you say "big" are you talking about the 300-500-800 gallon tanks, or does my size range fit that definition? It's interesting to know what one particular person likes, or what "most...

So the only advantages of glass are the scratch resistance and lower cost? Is that right? And acrylic offers lighter weight, better insulation, clearer viewing and better color, and easier plumbing and midification? I must be missing something - or we wouldn't be seeing so many folks...
