If you have an external over flow look at that. It took me a whiele to find it but my external over flow line down to my refugium was leaking just a very little. It was collecting on the bottom tank trim. Hope this helps. I also had a previous tank burst in my house and would not take even...

sorry, read it wrong. agree that your good with what ya got

actinic would be a good idea in my opinion. 10k are a little on the yellow side for me, the actinics addd amazing color. PLUS with actinic you could do a dusk to dawn effect using some timers. I use 14K with actinic during the middle of the day. LEDS are also nice if your up late at night...

I recently purchased a perfect looking 3" to 31/2" chevron tang. After the first day he had a nipped fin. Now he has a bite mark in the flesh that looks like a small chunk or maybe claw marks, one on the side foward of his tail fin and on his face between his side. He is still eating like a...

I dont have a test kit for Mg or phosphates but everything else you listed is exactly where I keep everything. I guess its just wait and see. Very new at SPS, trying to explain and justify to the boss lady why my "$40 rock with a bumpy stick or sticks glued to it" is turning white . Thanks...

If your talking about the marina that is near the coast guard base or next to McaArthur Causeway I would say "NO WAY". Not sure how long long you lived there but I remember it not being very clean water. Boat and people polluting, Oh and the huge sewage pipe that broke in 2001 or 2002 near the...

I am not sure what species. It is yellow with greenish colored tips if that helps. I moved my powerhead so its not blowing directly on it. Can and will the white ever come back to normal. Is to much light coming from shipment to under MH or could the mh be to much. It is about 12" below...

I have a Acropora frag that is turning white starting at the base. What could be causing this and is it possible to save? It is at the top of the tank under dual 175 watt MH, in direct current of a seio 820 power head. I got it tues at my LFS store in their shipment before it was unpacked...

I bought pepermint shrimp. They ate it in 2 days and are now part of the family. I have not seen any sense then. I thought this was a good remedy unless I missed something like it growing back???

Alright kzoo, I have the same camera. Awesome pics. Give me some tips! What mode are you shooting in? Do you leave everything on or turn of some powerheads?

I have virtually the same setup. 2 175 watt 14k and the same pc setup. I hooked mine up on Sat. I am doing 4 hours a day, starting about 1 hour after my PC's kick on. I am doing that until this Sat. Then over the next 1-1.5 weeks will increase that to 6 hours a day and then up 8 hours in...

Awesome, makes good sense. Thanks for your help!

I went with 14k mh bulbs and love the color. The color combo with the 10k/actinic PC's along with the halides is also really nice. I thought 8-10" was the norm for hanging MH over the tank? Just not sure if I am gaining anything with keeping the pc's, with the exception of 260 watts wich adds...

I finnaly added a dual 175 watt halide retro set up to my 75 gallon. I still have 260 watt coralife pcs. I am currently acclimating my tank to the new lighting over the next couple of weeks. My questions are; Would there be any benifit of keeping the pc's on the tank or would they be fine...
