    bio balls

    I have a 58 gallon with a 20 gallon fuge. I have my bio ball box in the fuge. I was debating doing away with the bio balls. I have a skimmer and a UV sterlizer. This would free up more room in my fuge. I think this is a good idea, just wanted some other opinions. Thank you

    water temp

    My water temp stays at 82 now that I have my fuge lit at night. It is very constant at amost exactly 82 day and night. Everything is doing great except my zenia tree. Is this temp okay. It went from 78-80 before I lit the fuge. Now it seems both sets of lights keep it constant but higher.

    sun coral

    Question for those who have a sun coral. Are they open or closed most of the time? I have heard they open just for feeding. I have a perfect little over hang for one, and like the look of the coral when open. I just dont think I want one if it is closed all the other times. Thank you

    vho lights

    I just got in a 36' vho light bulb and 24' vho light bulb. I put them with other normal output florescent lights from my lfs. When I put them in they do not look as bright as my other lights. Is this because they are blue, or is this because my ballast is not strong enough?
