well i have the same tank 29 gallon and right now i have a 32 watt smart lamp 10k/actinic and soft corals are having no problem with it and that's just 1watt per gallon but i am going to be putting on 2x55 watt 10k/actinic bulbs and taking the 32 watt out to go into my 12 gallon eclipse. Now im...

Ya probably lost him this happened to me like i said usually if they actually come all the way out they die but they can drop off their head and grow a new one no problem. And as far as reproducing i dont think it has anything to do with splitting cause i have the buggers just grow on my tank...

thank you for the info your right though the guy only knew what the paper told him said they need to be 6' 8' bulbs I said that id never ehard of the bulb legnth mattering just wattage etc.. heh he had no idea so I figured id ask here 1st since you guys actually know what your talking about

hmm i went to home depot today and they said there ballasts were for like 6' bulbs etc and wouldnt work for what i wanted to use them for is this the case or can I use the ballasts they have they were pretty cheap but then id have to buy the connectors to hold the lights im wondering if it's...

Those are good and shouldnt alarm you if you get fish in the tank wont see them as much since fish pick the little buggers off of the glass etc. I am referrig to the things on the glass btw not the weed anenomies you got growing.

Well I have had this happen 2x and both with different outcomes first time head dropped off and worm came out but went back in disappeared for a while and grew new head. Second time dropped head off and came out of tube and died so could go either way i guess hopefully it goes well.

You can buy ballasts at lowes/home depot that will run pc bulbs for reef application? Let me know the info on them what to look for I go to home depot all the time ill have to check that out.

That's wierd that's where I am ordering from A H supply :)

Do you think 2 55wat pc bulbs on a 30 gallon reef tank would be enough for hard corals clams etc.. and do you think 120.47 for the ballasts and bulbs reflectors etc is a good price there the retrofit type. Bulbs 10k combo bulbs with the atinic on them too.

i got some from the fabric store am gonna try to frag 1 of the xenia cause I talked to lfs and they will do trades or store credit for them :)

oops forget the gossip part that's from this onlie game i play to talk you type gossip heh

The superglue gel dosent hold it tried 3x it falls off every time strange.

Well i am looking for a 48" hood but the link you show to check the price new is invalid. Wouldnt know how much to offer how much was it new and what is "resonable" to you.

I want to set up more tanks too for coral frags just the lighting holding me back that's the expensive part heh. That's why my 75 gallon is still j just fish need to scrape up cash for the iwaksi 6500k metal halide bulbs for it.

Ok I took the tiny mushroom off the rock and got some super glue gel and did as you said . I affixed it to a new rock and placed it in medium current low in the tank so we'll see what happens. I really should try to propagate some of these guys but until i get my new lights a 30 gallon doesn't...

Hmm now iv never fragged anything so im very wary of doing it id hate to kill any of my corals. Is there a certain spot to cut the stem from the head etc.. And superglue? I would think that would be bad for the tank can it even work underwater?

I have some blue striped mushrooms and started with 1. It has split into 3 but the 1 in the middle is covered by the other 2 so it gets no light and hasn't really grown. I was wondering how i would remove it from where it is and move it to a clear spot so it has a chance without hurting it. It...

loganizzi you live in naperville i just moved to bensenville from there i still go there to shop at pet land there by sams club there pretty good for saltwater.

OFS I have used ebay to purchase my online corals so far to date. And for dry goods I have used www.fostersmith.com

Hello all I look forward to getting/giving info from this forum and hopefully learning new tricks and tips since iv been pretty much doing it by trial and error to this point ;) everything is ok now though so I'm gonna start setting up a new 75 gallon reef since i was abnle to handle a 30 gallon...

re xenia I keep my water at 74-79 tops in my reef my xenia grows and has split a few times i started with 1 and now have 3. Iv always heard not to have water at 80 or above for saltwater but if it works keep doing it right :).
