Thanks everyone. It was a bad bulb. Only three days old and it stopped working. I put the only other bulb I had extra on and it is working again. So now I have both super actinic. My tank is really blue! Got some more bulbs on order.

I installed a DIY Hood with an Icecap 440 and 2 URI 24 inch VHO bulbs this weekend. It was working fine until this morning. Now both bulbs come on very dim for about a second and then go out every time I plug it in. I use water proof encaps. I have taken out both bulbs and reseated them. No...

I have a 30 gallon tank which I would like to add a sump. I have a lifereef overflow which is rated at 700 gph. (The CPR O/Fs seem to problematic) If I only run 300-350 gph through it will I have noise or air bubble problems? I am going to use a mag5 for a return pump. Not sure that I want to...

Seems like I read that they are good to have in a DSB. Others say they are a no no. I was just wondering what other people's expierence has been?

Nice stand. I am going to try to build one this weekend for a 125. Wish me luck!

Thanks for everyone's input. I am taking them out! Althought I do agree with the fact that there is more than one way to do a reef and nature over time has a way of self balancing. I looked at my LFS reef display which is very beautiful and they have a wetdry with bioballs, protien skimmer and...

I use a precision marine CV626. They make some very good stuff and all high quality.

Update: He is totally clear this morning as well as my other fish. Perhaps it was something else? Maybe something just irritated his skin? Anyway I am going to sit tight and wait an see if anything reoccurs. Thanks for everyone’s help!

Thanks for everyone's Input. One more question. How much time do I have. I am in the process of setting up another tank (125). I would like to get that done so I could move all my live rock and inverts into that before I start the Hypo treatment in the current tank. Could I wait a week? Or is...

I have a white spotted toby. Friday he was covered with salt like spots including on his eyes. Now all the spots are gone except for one 1 or 2 very small ones on his left eye. He is eating and acting fine as are my other fish. Can ick go away on its own? Or should I start treatment anyway?
