Today one of my MH pendats wasnt lit when I got home. I checked all connections and everything was good, checked the ballast and it was cold. I unplugged it from my power strip and when I plugged it back in the bulb fired, started to go and withing 5second it went off. I waited 15min again to...

I really dont think it is that easy. There has been pieces missing that were clearly 1-2" long. Why I trigger would want to shove a big piece of SPS down its throat I dont really know. It isnt even eating them, most of the time I can find the pieces laying in the sand bed

I love the achiles tang probably the most out of all the tangs, but I have noticed that they are very prown to disease. I know all tangs in general love to get ick when they are stressed but in my experiences all my other tangs fight off ick very easily where as the achiles just gets full of...

I have been having this issue for some a month or so now. The only new addition to the tank is Cross Hatch trigger and I highly doubt it is that. Usually when I wake up in the morning for the past few weeks I see tons of SPS with snapped off tips and I dont just mean the very tip, ive seen whole...

no clues? do you want some more info? Do I have them placed wrong in the tank?

For the past few months I havent been able to really have much luck with caps or montis in my tank. I have a setosa montipora for 6months or so and it is growing great and has great color and polys. I had a really nice white with neon green monti that grew like a weed as well as a while and...

I was under that impression as well, but while trying some advanced features on my RKE there is a setting to dim t5 bulbs it says so i figured i would ask

Just wondering if you are able to dim t5's that are driven from an ice cap 660 ballast. anyone know?

very good info. thanks

Probably just being the night I guess, I just never noticed. I always have great polyp extension during the day but certain corals like my lokani and others that have vey tiny polys were very out in the dark and they looked so cool. Corals like my purple bonsai had huge neon green polyps at...

thanks... any more input with 31 views?

I did a water change early this morning before any of the lights came on and I noticed a bunch of my sps that during the day looks to have really tiny polyp extension had some decent poly extension. So tonight I figured I would try and get a look way after the lights have been off and the room...

So I might have the pulse set too long, and I need to shorten it? I thought being a longer pulse it would give it more time to make it all the way across

I dont have too much input as Ive only used about 3 different bulbs, but lately what I have been noticing is that a lot of people are using reeflux bulbs. When I had 150s i had 10k ushios and they were way too white for me. I then switched to 250watts and tried out the new ice cap bulbs last...
