Do you have pics?

So I assume there are no silent MH fixtures :(

Aguaticlife just came out with an led fixture with legs. You can also link up to 4 fixture together. Only problem is they are brand new and are only 1/2 watt led's. Not much info on them yet.

Looking to go with a 3 x 150 watt HQI /T5 combo fixture for my 72 x 18 upgrade. Now I know whats quiet to one person might be loud to someone else but I'm interested to know if there are any fixtures out there that are pretty much silent. I'm pretty sensitive to noise, especially when it comes...

It went well. I actually raised the Magnesium as high as 2000. Bryopsis was gone within a week and all my livestock (soft corals, snails, fish, shrimp) are all fine. I did notice that my dwarf cerith snails were not as active during the whole process but everything else acted normal. I dont...

I feed very little every other day and I have been doing weekly water changes. GFO is Granular Ferric Oxide (phosphate remover). Supposedly if you raise you mag levels to 1600 or higher (mainly with kent tech m) it may kill off the bryopsis. I'm at 2000 now and its not going away.

Just noticed about a week ago that I have a few spots of what seems to be bryopsis. It looks like it came in on a frag I purchased about a week ago. I only have a few strands on a couple different rocks. It doesn't seem to be growing all that fast. Unfortunately I cant take the rocks out because...

Its fiji dry rock from BRS. Just as an update, looks like it was a combination of cyano and coralline. I added phosban to the system and in under 48 hrs., all the cyano cleared up.

I actually tried to use a toothbrush today to scrape off some of it and siphon it out. To be honest, not much if any came off the rocks so I'm definitely not convinced its cyano. Very odd. Thanks for the input everyone. :D

It definitely doesnt blow off with a powerhead or turkey baster. I pretty much have to scrape it with my nail to get it off. It does however come off a lot easier then coraline. If its cyano I guess I need to figure out whats causing it. Definitely grows way too fast to be coralline. I have...

I'm really confused about this growth I'm having on my live rock. I keep thinking its just coralline algae but I have never seen it grow so fast. It also is starting to get on the larger pieces of substrate I have. The rock is BRS fiji dry rock. Never had Cyano before and I just don't...

Thanks. Where can I find these lighting screens?

I just recently bought two Ricordea frags and I have them in my 90 gallon tank. I currently have 4 x 54watts of T5HO lighting and they seem to be doing great. I just found a great deal on a 48” SunPod 2x150W HQI Fixture by Current USA. Will I have a problem as far as shocking the heck out of...

Recently started a new 90 gallon tank. Been setting it up for over a month now and while doing this I started to cycle a 20 gallon tank. I used 2 pieces of shrimp and the cycle has been finished for about a week now. I was planning on adding sand and dry rock to my 90 tonight. If I add...

Just a quick question. About to setup my new 90 gallon Aqueon drilled tank that has a 1" bulkhead and a 3/4" bulkhead. Planning on doing a herbie style and was wondering if the 3/4" drain would be sufficient enough for the back up drain? Originally wanted to go with a perfecto tank because they...
