see, i am trying to add this new single t5 bulb system to my existing system, and i need to know which bulb ballast combo to my 130 w coralife pc twin u-tube style lighing system

alright, i have been reading on all of the lighting sections for a little while and it is all a little confusing. basically i have a 55 gal with the 130 w pc from coralife and i am wondering if i could add a 36'' t5 to my tank. i have room for it in my canopy and i am wondering if this wiil...

hey guys my bi color just died and he looked like he was pretty healthy, and he was swimming normal and feeding pretty good. he did have cloudy eye, but it looked like it had cleared up on its own. is this what killed it. i'm sad as now i only have 4 chromis in there now.

Well I Removed The Rock, And Did A 10% Water Change Last Night. Now, This Morning One Of My Chromis Died. This Is So Frustrating, I Don't Know What I Should Do

So What Youre Saying Is That The Dead Rock Might Not Have Had Anthing To Do With It, And That It Was All Sg. The Sg In The Tank That The Carals Are In Now Was At 1.018, But I Am Bringing It Up Slowly. When I Went To Put The Corals Into The New Thank The Sg Was 1.021-22

ooooohhhh i get it

according to the ***** alkalinity and ph test kit, the alk is at th enormal to high range. so from what i have been reading, the calcium should be ok
