    Mint red Acan

    I have won a couple from them, and AquaticAuctions ship their fare well. About acans: They are a pretty easy corals to keep, given that your tank has enough food in the water column. They are hardy by nature and would do fine a wide variity of light conditions. I feed the tank phyto once a...

    any LED Brainiacs here?

    Pacific sun over sunbright perhaps ... the former uses 1 watt cree over 1watt 5mm LEDs. Sunbrite had a very bad first generation lamp. On the other hand this IS Pacific sun's 1st generation :P ... Rafal should have pacific sun 120W modules on hos tank by mid Nov.

    My 90G ...

    Sorry to break your heart Paul, but I already got the following stand. However I am thinking of cutting my existing stand in half and making a hood. There is hope for me trying out carpentry yet ;D. Its a sedona that I got for for $175 from Sunnny(moroereef). Two thumbs up for a great guy who...

    Tatooed fish

    Seriously gross ... Some one should try that on the guys who did this. Tattoo happy faces on their torso and inject pink dye in their lips to make them look like they are wearing lipstick permanently. Why isnt this illegal again ??

    My 90G ...

    .... I absolutely hear you guys, my girlfriend actually heard you even before you spoke ;D .... I had to be on the receiving end of a long tirade regarding how I will destroy the living room and whatever peace there is left in her life if I gave into my immature fantasies and played with tools...

    My 90G ...

    I didnt see any water in the overflow section and am assuming that wasnt it. I badly wish that it was just worn off silicone and not a crack in the glass. Is there a way to tell? Also if silicone does wear off once, what is stopping ot from wearing off again ? From any tank ? I dont think I...

    My 90G ...

    Thanks for the inputs jerzky and rf-bf. The current stand provides a hollow base for the aqurium. I was wondering if I could buy a piece like the following, cut it in 3 to provide a sturdy platform on top of the stand...

    Miracle grow plant light

    Dont be sorry vangvace. Really appreciate the input. ..btw the link to the LED seller did not work. :P Even if it is concentrated, at $200-$300 a pop, you could get 2 of these and still be at par with T5 VHO initial costs. I believe Pacific Sun also uses 1w cree lamps. Their par values were...

    My 90G ...

    I am not off to a good start. My tank seems to have a small leak in one of the corners and the back panel of my stand seems to have come off loose. Does my tale end right here? :'( :'( Urgent advise required. Here's the leak. I am thinking of siliconing the entire base. Is it worth the effort...

    actinic. why?

    The fact that it actually does actually help in coral colours/fluorescence is highly debatable. It does make your tank and the corals within differently coloured for sure. I use 3 blue bulbs (ATI BLue Plus) to supplement my 6500K MH which I use for growth. If you use a bluer primary light, you...

    Ever turn off your pumps?

    ... you know what will really set the mood (of the inhabitants) ... if you dose seagull poop. Heaven knows what sort of nutrients that will export and what flora/fauna it will grow ;D But you should go the whole nine yards then. Build a wooden structure that will allow enough light through its...
