Hi. I have a question regarding an effective lighting method. I have a 48'' nova extreme light. For those that are not familiar with this light, it has four power cords. 1 for the fan, 1 for the lunar lights, 1 for the white lights and 1 for the actenics. I just bought a digital Coralife...

Hmmm.... The ones I have seen at the lfs are actually fairly good size. When their fans are open they were about 2 inches in diameter. Am I possibly confusing what I may have with another type of species compared to what I have seen in the store?

When I set my tank up back in November, I started with 40 pounds of lr. Recently I have noticed tiny feather dusters sticking their little fans out. There are more than I can actually count at any given time, or they could be moving when I am not looking because 2 or 3 times a week I see a new...

Yes, this is a SW tank. Just curious, how will crushed coral alter the ph and hardness of the system? What is in the coral to cause that?

I have a bunch of crushed coral from my old tank setup and I was wondering if it work for extra bio. If it will I would like to put some in my bio cartridges of my filter. TIA

Awesome!!! The one showed in link http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/picture_pages/faq_bristle.html is exactly what it is.

I just found one also. Dont have access to a pic at the moment, but can get one later if the description is not enough. It is 1.5 inches long, both tips are orange and the middle is grayish. It looks like it has hair down its back.

An APC SmartUps 3000 should give me a few days.

Number two is exactly what I chose. The other options did not work, plus it made it too bright. I hooked up #2 and it is fine, but with only one bulb, I would like it just a tad dimmer but running the one bulb is not to bad. This is a 55 gal, and I dont know what I am going to do yet. Going to...

I just got my moonlights in. They are technically for a computer, which are cold cathode. I am wonder what type of DC power supply people have used that works best. The specs for the lights are: 12V inverter Output of inverter 680v current draw 5.0mA with a brightness of 28,000-30,000cd/m2 I...

I will leave it then, I dont mind it being there as long as it does not cause problems. I wish I was able to see more than a 2 inch portion of the tentacle so I could be certain what it is. I am suprised it survived the cycle as well. Actually it is still in the process. I skipped the ammonia...

I understand that about the ups. I have had a my heater hooked up to a little 300 ups and when the heater kicked on, the alarm on the ups would go off. I am now thinking a 2200 ups, which is a spare at work and not being used ;). However, I think what killed the fish was the temp, not the...

Last week I purchased 40 lbs of LR. All has been quiet until a few minutes ago. I am getting the tank going again after a long hiatus, so in essence its a new tank. I just happened to be messing around the tank and I noticed a tentacle sticking out of one of the new rocks I had bought. It was...

As I may have mentioned in another of my recent posts, I had a catastrophe. An ice storm a few years ago wiped out all the electric in my town, for most people they were without electric for atleast 2 weeks. Needless to say the people with tanks pretty much lost everything, I lost everything...

After I got my tank established, a 4 inch Black Volitan took care of THEM for me. :)
