I have the 4 bulb version over my 40 breeder. Ecoxotic makes a stunner strip that I have seen in person that will just stick to your current light. I think the stunner strips run for $30 or so plus the ac Adapter. If you wanted to add some PAR levels to your tank you could go with their Panorama...

Hey everyone! Hopeing to get some advice on a ballast for a 70W viper. I recently came into a free 14G Biocube without a lid that came with a working k2 Viper but the ballast needs to be replaced. Since they don't make these units anymore I can't find anywhere where I can buy a factory ballast...

No color change on the heads, although the white is close to the actual polyp.

Hey guys I have had this hammer frag since early this past summer. Since then it grew a second head and I thought it was doing well. I have it under a 4bulb T5 3 Actinic and one 10K. The polyps themselves are just as dark green and colorful as ever but the base has started to turn bright white...

I have a 40 Breeder tank that it's coming around that time to replace the 39W T5 Bulbs in one of my fixtures. I currently have 2 AcuaticLife fixtures hooked together for a combo of 4 bulbs. I have 2 10K and 2 Actinic bulbs and the lighting looks ok on my tank. I would like to get that deeper...

Thanks! I Bought that flat rock from my LFS when they took down a display tank.

Just thought I would post some pictures on how my 40 Breeder is doing. Finally got the hang of my DSLR a bit so my pictures I thought were worth sharing. The only critters that are not visible is my cleaner shrimp and Flame Angel. They both like to hide as soon as they see a camera. I have the...

Thanks for the vinegar idea guys. I will have to look into whether the plastic is food grade. It's this trash can if it helps any. I assume I can find the food grade statement on the label...

I wanted to ask what would be best to clean out the Brute 32 Gallon trash can I picked up from lowes today? I know to not obviously use any soaps but I wanted to make sure to get rid of any chemical residue from the store.

Tank is still going well. Added allot to my clean up crew and added some mushrooms and Ricordia. Also added a Bicolor Blenny and a Flame Angel.

Tank has finished cycling. Added a small clean up crew and moved my 3 Gallon critters to the new tank. Also added a pair of small Chromis as well.

From what I understand its not necessarily a poison but depending on how it dies could affect your tank. If it just dies you could get an ammonia spike but if its sucked up into a power head it can chop up all of the stinging cells and send it all around your tank harming anything susceptible.

Got my new light into today and all I have to say is wow. Tank looks a heck of allot better. Not sure if it was the Coralife bulbs or the new Aquaticlife bulbs that came with this unit but it looks a heck of allot better.

Yep, I was just a little optimistic that it was moving along quicker than I thought because of the diatoms and slime algea. I was curious on how I should move my 3gallon lr/ls to the tank. As of right now I have 2 shrimp and loads of hermits and snails in my tank along with an assortment of...

Week 2 Water test results. Ammonia: 0.25 PPM Nitrite:0 Nitrate:0 PH.8.5 I have allot of Diatoms and some Red Slime on my rocks an sand at this point.

I have always been a fan of Blennies my self. My favorite would have to be the BiColor, friendly and always perching on rock work.

Looks almost like sea monkeys to me but definitely some kind of shrimp. I am unaware of any bad shrimp like this so I would think it would be free food for your fish. But wait and see for more opinions.

Absolutely, I understand. I would imagine that the Aquatic Life T5 unit is going to give me better light than what I had in my Bio cube and I was able to keep Frogspawn Duncans just fine. If anything I will keep the LPS close to the top as possible until I get my second unit. This new unit also...

Just ordered the above lights which can be expanded up to 6 bulbs. I think I will stick with 2 for this summer and by a second unit which would bring me to 156W which should be enough for anything but SPS correct? Thanks for the help!

I started the return process for my current fixture. I am looking at the: AquaticLife T5 HO Dual Lamp Light Fixtures Do you have any other suggestions?
