    Upgrading Lights to T5HO

    Nice! I have a 90 gallon corner with 1 250 watt 15,000 K metal halide. Have a 1/6 HP chiller and maintain a temp of 76. I just have LPS and softies now but want to try SPS. I hear that 6,500 K give the best growth but you have a lot of yellow so have to add back in the blue with power...

    Upgrading Lights to T5HO

    What wattage are your metal halides? What spectrum are you using? I too love what I have with the metal halides. Hate the heat but love the results!

    Upgrading Lights to T5HO

    My understanding is that LED light is very "pin point" for a lack of a better term. The light directs straight down and doesn't have as wide an "arc, cone spread?" as other lights.

    Upgrading Lights to T5HO

    Are they really getting good results with LEDs and SPS corals? Tech seems really new to me. Are they getting good growth rates with LEDs? Does anyone have good research resources to look at? Lot's of questions but love the idea of LED's but want to make informed choice to go with them.

    Ok, Here's a good one to make some of you snicker I'm sure. I've been on here for a while and still can't figure out how to up date my profile! I go to my profile page but there seems to be no way to update it like where I live or what tanks I have. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

    Hello, New member here

    Oh your not going to be happy with that marineland thing for long. Lol I had one for a while and soon upgraded to a small canister filter. Like I said fish only can take the nitrates fine. Kind of rule of thumb is a 10% water change once a week. Sometimes I do that sometimes I don't with...

    Hello, New member here

    Don't really see a need to do a water change unless the nitrates are high. I'm assuming you are going to do some sort of reef tank with the live rock. You will want your nitrates to be below 20 ppm. If it is a fish only tank they can be a little high with no worries. Always keep your nitrite...

    Hello, New member here

    make sure to check your nitrite and nitrate levels also. ammonia should go down and nitrites rise then nitrites go down and nitrates rise. when the nitrites reach zero you should be good to go! make sure to add animals slowly ( amount not speed lol) and keep an eye on the ammonia and nitrite...

    cleaning

    Clean it how? Plecos (sucker fish) will help eat algae but your still going to have to scrub, gravel wash and do your water changes on a regular basis

    activated carbon?

    There are some that say that activated carbon can be one of the causes of head and lateral line disease. I use it on my coral system with no problems. I feel over all that it helps but if I saw any HLLD start it would be the first thing I pull off.
