    DIY LED project for aquapod 24g

    I don't think anyone has done a build thread on that. I was thinking about it too, I think the best thing would be 24 - 1 watt leds, instead of less of the high power ones because of the narrow beam you get from them. The other problem would be they will be very close to the water and not have...

    Glass anemones

    Big Trouble...Tank about to break!! Help Quick!!!

    When you get a new tank, I would think about an acrylic tank. I personally would not get a glass tank over 100 gallons, because I know way too many people who have had large glass tanks fail. Just my opinion, good luck.

    Green water, help please.

    More info on your system will help. What tank do you have? What kind of tank filtration? What kind of lighting? You say it's newly set up, how long and what is your current bioload?

    RBTA and GBTA in the same tank

    I am going to move the grouper and the eel to the 150, that's going to be an aggressive tank. I was thinking of putting 2 BTA's, one either side of the 33. At almost 4 feet apart, I was thinking I might be able to get away 2 pairs of percs.

    RBTA and GBTA in the same tank

    Thanks guys. I am going to move them to a 33 long eventually. I have a juvie V Tail Grouper and a Snowflake Eel in that tank now, until I get my 150 cycled, thats gonna be an aggressive tank. What are your thoughts on keeping 2 pairs of Clownfish in a 33 long?

    RBTA and GBTA in the same tank

    Is t OK to put a RBTA and a GBTA in the same tank? I have the RBTA in a 20 tall with a 130 watt PC light (10,000k and actinic) and a 15x15x4.5 inch hob fuge, with a built in venturi skimmer, a deep sand bed and a mix of chateo and caulerpa. I have read the RBTA needs a footprint of 12 in. by 12...
