You porcelin crab is sweet. How long have you had him?

Saving is for the noobs. Sell body parts etc to pay for it.

I had one that buddied with my clown also. They seem to find a friend.

Worldwide rising ocean temps causes it. The problem with the warmer water is it has: Less oxygen and less nutrients. So things go hungry.

DIY stand? Plenty of people have done it.

No worries hope it works like a charm for a good time to come. :)

The 12,000 - 14,000K range is a nice balance of blue and white and tends to give a more crisp white without being to slanted towards a yellowy colour at the lower end of the spectrum (8,000-10.000K area) and not being to blue at the higher end of the spectrum and not giving off enough PAR for...

Place the floss directly in the path of the incoming water from your tank. This way any large pieces of debris will be caught and will be cleaned away when you wash the floss each week, this way they can't get into places where its hard for you to get rid of them, so they can't sit and decay and...

True that. I need to replace 3 of my T5s at the moment and it's only been around nine months.

My only thing there is calcium might be just a little high but if it's stable at 500 it should be fine.

Thanks KeV and thanks for not hijacking my thread with a rave about LEDs. If you lived in Aus I send you a frag of that Monti. I fixed up my light bleed issue by constructing a light 'chamber' of sorts out of toilet paper rolls and attaching it to the light. Works like a charm. Very, very...

They can be if detrius and other junk is allowed to build up in them and decay. A well cleaned one should be ok.

Nice pic Mike. :laugh:

Go for something around 12,000 - 14,000K. A lot of people seem to like this colour temperature and it provides good PAR.

A reflector is great it roughly doubles the amount of light into your tank meaning more PAR for your corals.
