    Coral question

    They extend feeder tentacles at night, but stay the same size. Those do look shrunken. Too much flow maybe?

    I don't think candy canes or trumpets really "open up".

    Candy coral frags to trade-northern IL

    I have several frags of this coral to sell or trade. It's done very well in the upper half of my 125 under VHO only. I really would like to avoid shipping, so I hope I can find some locals who are interested. E-mail is Jerlis100@insightbb.com

    Acrylic tank/fuge northern IL

    I bought 2 of these and decided to only use one. Bottom and 3 sides are blue, top and front is one piece of bent acrylic. They were part of the display at a local pet store. It is pre-drilled and includes the return bulkhead (you will need a supply bulkhead). Dimensions are 24LX10 7/8 tallX14w...

    UV Sterilizer?

    VHO bulbs & algae

    When I bought my Icecap ballasts, I was told the bulbs would be good for a year, that's why I change them yearly. If in reality, they start to decline after 9 months, that's what I'll do. It was never a question of spending the money on bulbs, just if they needed it. I guess I'll go on a 9...

    VHO bulbs & algae

    The bulbs still work, but the spectrum changes. That's the theory anyway. The same goes for UV bulbs for reptiles and plant bulbs for houseplants. Weather or not this has anything to do with algae is what I'd like to find out. I think the water change issue may be the culprit though.

    VHO bulbs & algae

    My top-off is RO/DI, (Kent Maxxima). I only feed twice a week, frozen cubes of mysis, dapnia etc. Water changes could be the problem. I used to do 10 gallons weekly, now it's more like every other week to every 3 weeks. I need to get back on my old schedule.

    VHO bulbs & algae

    I seem to remember reading that old bulbs can cause algea outbreaks. I have 640 watts of VHO on Icecap ballasts over a 2 year old 125 gallon tank . My bulbs are 10 months old and I plan to get new ones at 12 months. Is it possible the age of the bulbs is partly responsible for a few patches of...
