Welcome, nice to see there are others here in Iowa... :)

That's kinda what I was thinking.. I wanted to catch as much of the spectrum I could. I ordered the lights today. Thanks.. :)

I have had 12k XM 175's in before and that seemed like it was too much blue...

I have a oceanic tank, both of mine are adjusted all the way up as high as they will go.

For what it's worth, I put my 150 over the basement up against the wall and sandwiched my osb beams under the tank with 3/4 plywood to stiffen them up and added a 4x4 support column in the basement.. **Please understand that I'm not a structural engineer***:rolleyes:

Hello all, I am in the process of replacing my lights on my 150gal reef tank. Currently I have three 175w MH 10k XM bulbs, one URI 50/50 160w bulb and one corallife 160w actinic bulb lighting the tank (I would like just a little more blue). Currently I have a few LPS and soft corals, but no...

Hello, I need some advice.. I have a 150gal tank that I'm in the process of setting up. Over the last two weeks I have added all of my live rock from my old tank in Okc, I now live in Iowa. Of course, I'm having some die-off from the rock that was just moved. I bought a Turbo Flotor 1000...

me too.....

It's the same activated carbon that is used in tropical tanks. You can buy at wal-mart in the fish isle. Just get a filter media bag, fill it up with carbon, and place it in an area of water flow. :)

I was able to break a piece of the rock of with the good zoos on it, however the rock they are attached to was not that dense. I have in the past removed zoos from a rock by scraping them off with a razor blade and then super glueing them to another rock, I've had about a 90% success rate with...

Hmmm........ That makes sense..... I fragged a healthy piece of the blue zoo colony just before it melted down and that frag seems to be doing fine.... Does anyone know of any medication that would correct this problem? Yesterday I cut the piece of rock that the dying zoo's were on and moved...

Just a thought :idea: Not enough lighting? Maybe it just took this long to effect the zoo's?

No, I have been intermittently feeding DT's over the last ten months or so.. Thanks..

Oh, almost forgot.... :oops: lighting - 48" quad power compacts The zoos are sitting on the upper middle section of the tank...

Has anyone seen zoos do this before? I have had this colony for about a month now with no problems until a day or two ago.. As you can see in the picture one zoo appears to be shrinking... :( Now, if this was an isolated incident I wouldn't be too worried.. However, I lost an entire colony...

A buddy of mine put cooling fans in his canopy to keep the heat from building up under the lights....

No, the "wild" coralline just happened over the last four months.. I had a major cayno outbreak and after that I got the PO4 down to .1 ppm or so and the coralline just took off.. :o Lately I have just been keeping up with the water changes and adding Reef Builder as necessary... Beginner's...

72 Gal Bowfront almost a year old The bubble doesn't like it when I work in the tank... ;)

Hello, I noticed a new creature in my refugium yesterday... I believe that it is some sort of nudibranch, but I just don't know which one... Does anyone have any thoughts? :) Thanks.. Bill

I have used it many times with no problems... :)

I have heard that the serpent stars are not really fish eaters, but i'm not sure... How big is he?
