The hardware

I did exactly that Saturday morning. Thanks for the info.

OK. During lunch I put my brain at mid level and my ricordia on the dsb, per a reputable source. However, I'm going to keep my eyes on the brain to see how he does and if I have too, move him down. Thanks for info.

I have a 72bow, so 2ft it correct. My current lighting consist of: 2 x 250watt 12K MH 2 x 65watt PC Act 2 x 65watt PC 10K, which I mayt switch out for actinics I'm not sure how they had them at the wholesalers, I believe VHOs and the ricordia under MH.

We got hook up and found a local saltwater wholesaler who has opened his doors to the public. I went last night with some friends and picked up a couple new corals. 1. closed brain coral-red with neon green inserts 2. 2 ricordia-1 pink/blue/purple and 1 blue/green/orange, both have neon...

So you would recommend replacing the daylights with 2 more actinics even though my MHs are 12k?

Well, I've finally installed my MH's and man are they bright. Here's my question. With all the lights I have, how should I run them. Lights: 2 x 250W 12K MH 2 x 65W Actinics 2 x 65W Daylight They are all installed and operational. My original thougth was to run them as follows, Actinics...

I've noticed that there are times when some of my caluerpa branches do look white, but I thought was just growth. All my fish and corals are doing great. My water is perfect. Can you give a little more detail? Thanks.

I have a 16watt light on my ECO and my caluerpa has grown like crazy. The problem is that I don't know what it's suppose to look like when it's about to sexual. Any clues?

I acclimated my sebae for just over two hours. However, by morning he had moved into one of the caves. He seems ok. I hand feed some krill yesterday and he took them with no problem. I really wish he'd move out of there. Any ideas or is this normal?

Here's my situation. I have 72bow with roughly 180lbs of LR. The problem is that I can't turn my little giant 4 up all the way. So, I'm not moving tons on water on the surface. I'm already using 3 Maxi Jet 900's, but the way I have them placed, one is in the center behind all the rock...

How many PHs would you use for a 72 gallon tank with 180lbs of LR?

Sounds good. Thanks.

I just received my new MH from Inreef.com. I purchased a complete retrofit keep with two 250W 12K coralvue bulb and 2 electronic ballast. I'm currently using CSL 4x65 hood. I'm planning on using all the lights on my 72box. My question is, with all the new light, should I move some of my...

OK. How about this. Actinics from 9am-9pm 2x65 daylight from 10am-8pm MH from 11am-7:30pm What do you think? BTW: I saw some of you pics on another post. Very nice.

Excellent. It's going to fun building a nice canopy for all those lights, but I'm going to hate tearing apart my CSL hood. Seen any nice canopys? And, how would you run the light, after I acclimate the MH? Right now I have my actinics coming on at 9am running till 11pm and my daylights...

I've recently purchased two 250watt 12K MH coralvue kits for my 72bow, which currently has CSL 4x65. One of my very "Knowledgeable" LFS, (I mean that serious) suggested that I run all my lights and not just the MH. That's over 10.5 watts per gallon. Is that too much?

I just order two retro kit,. 2 x 250 12K. Now I need to learn how to build a canopy for the lights. Any ideas? How about running two 12K and no actinic. Does anyone have experience with that?

Jamal-188, why did you wish you would have gone with the 20K? David suggested I go with two 12K. That most people where doing that and removing there actinics. What are your thoughts?

Excellent. I spoke with David from Coralvue a couple of hours ago. I'm going to give them a long look. Thanks.

Which ballast are you using with them and why did you decide to go with them?

How about when you have other fish in the main tank but only one has ich? Should you only treat the one?

Not to get off track, because I really think tigger needs input, but I was wondering how you would feed a starfish? Do you simply put the piece of krill in his path or do you put it underneath the starfish? Good luck tigger. I'm QT'ing one of my clown fish today. Ich sucks.

I'm shopping around for MH equipment and someone suggested CoralVue. So, I was wondering if any had any experiense with their products. If so, please let me know. Ice Cap vs coralvue?

Awesome. Thanks. I'm not even going to wait till this weekend. I'll go to my LFS and get the SW needed and try to do it tonight or tomorrow, the latest.
