Hello there,
I have decided to create a small website with some information ( not disclosing at this time ). I am looking for some responsible, dedicated people to write small articles about certain corals and the such. Each article will then be turned in ( image and grammar pending ) and...
I don't positively agree. The photo is a little small, but from what I can make out it looks like
- could be very wrong though and the little thing in the bottom right hand corner is a flatworm possibly but could just be some other thing. Some flatworms are not orange in color but...
I don't think the lighting here is a problem. You can utilize many options not unlike the viper. I think your biggest problem ( unless the sps are hardy, unlike torts and others ) your biggest problem will be water stability. I kid you not, the change in ph or alk along with temperature in a...
I know most of you spend way to much time here. However, even spending this much time online on this one site gives me the chills. What are the chances I would log in and have 3 sevens? Odd.. Thought I would share
okay! I got a new radium in the tank now ( radium 150 hqi de, same as before but was time for a change ) Going to go only 7 months till next change next time not 9. Here are some new photos. Keep in mind that all my frags were booger or 2 heads,maybe 3 when they started not so long ago. Hope you...
I think you can tell from what I wrote that there was no YELLING indicated any place other then by using caps. I know that net lingo indicates yelling with CAPS, but then how do you enhance what you are saying ( bold it? ) I figured unbolded caps would indicate ( A POINT ) if it came across the...
what is that for? You buying an elephant now? ;)
I have been looking for awhile to have ( 2 ) 4 foot x 4 foot tables made so that I can put my new tanks on them down here. Have to be the same height of 26" tall so they can bump up to one another and that stand looks pretty amazing. Is that a...
Not all of us live in an area where the water is good enough.. NOT KNOWING YOUR TDS out of your faucet is well... foolish and I don't mean any disrespect to you pan. Using tap water is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. You don't care if you leech iron or phosphates or other crap into...
Hello there,
1. Check out my thread in my signature.. read it.
2. Lose the Bio-wheel, that is what the rocks are for.
3. Turkey baster your rockes every other day.
4. Use filterfloss in the overflow to capture debris and change each week when you do your water change
5. Do your water changes...
Hello JR!
FTS is a no go.. Can't take it with my camera anymore under the new lighting. As you will see with the next couple photos I put up today.. they are eh at best. Just can't use my camera under this new lighting very well without a manual white balance option. In any case, nice to see...
Hello there,
I have been thinking about the idea of building a new tank and stand.. Talked with WoodWhisperer and some others about the best stand for the weight and design. Also talked with a couple folks on getting my new tank built, but have not heard back from them. I was wondering if NJRC...
Hello All,
Long time.. Congrats to Pnoys new frag! Wow.. Beautiful.
Decided to take apart the chiller this weekend and clean the hoses from the tank to the pump, to the chiller and back to the tank.. About a 6 foot return trip... Wanna talk algae! How about 6 feet of it a 1/2 inch in...
I would stick with a nano pod or something in that area.. Many mods you can do before you even decide to fill it up. Check out my thread ( in my sig ) The other place that you were looking for I assume ( you know what happens there ) :D is http://www.nanotuners.com/
Good luck and keep us posted...
Well.. It has been a few weeks and I just want to throw up a couple photos that show how corals can change when you use t5 lighting vs PCs. Now these photos were not enhanced in any way other then bringing out the color a bit. I assure you this is what it looks like under the t5's and mostly...
Hello there,
Hey BOB... I agree that aquascaping is completely up to the owner.. However, I don't like when people tell me something looks good in my tank when it actually does not. That just irks me to no end. Now no one can TELL you if it looks good cause no one knows your taste. On the...
Hey BIT :D
Upgrade was completed and I think it went pretty well.. Looks professional :D Converting to T5's for you will be a breeze.. If you are really interested let me know as I will put together a parts list for you and we can wire it up in one afternoon ( parts pending, aka, screws...
The fixture is 9 inches from the top of the tank,, the bulbs are current 24" to the bottom of the tank ( that means from the bottom of the tank to the actual light bulb is 24" ) The t5's are individual reflectors at 24 watts a piece ( geismann blue + and pure actinic )
OK , well the new lights are in .. Was a nice custom job if I do say so myself.. ;) I have raised the fixture to 24 inches to bottom of tank from bulbs and the tank is only 15 inches deep, so I think the distance from the fixture to the tank and then the water getting in the way should keep the...
