    Which Salt???

    I use Oceanic and love it. I started out with Reef Crystals and had alk issues with it. Since I switched and did some fine tuning, everything has been A-OK!.

    10 gallon aga

    The only thing that would concern me with a halide over a 10 gallon tank is heat. As long as you keep it high enough off the water and have good air flow, I would say that it would be a great lighting system.

    10 gallon aga

    Should be just fine for everything. I use a 130 watt PC coralife fixture and I keep Digi just fine with great growth.

    10 gallon aga

    I took the plumbing off my AGA 15 gal tank and am using a Whisper 40 for mechanical filteration with Pura Complete and Chemi Pure in it. I also use a Maxi Jet 900 for very nice movement and surface break. Since I got rid of the sump and started using the HOB filter, my water became crystal clear...

    Lighting for a 29 gallon?

    You would be fine with the halides. Keep it high off the surface and give it really good air circulation.

    T-5 and Power Compacts

    I have a coralife 24" system. 130 watts 65 10k/ 65 antinic over a 15 gal. nano. All my digi is in the top 1/3 of the tank. They are all within 10" of the light. Is your calcium over 400? Do you use Phyto or other feeding additives for the coral? I use DTs live phyto. I also have 0 ammonia...

    T-5 and Power Compacts

    My tank has very good growth with PCs. Since the last meeting where I got a frag pack from the club, every piece has new branches each about 1/8" long. Thats about 1/4" a month on Digi. I am expecting this to be more now that the coral is out of transport shock and the color is back. Someone...

    RIP Thompson's Tang

    Ich can go dormant for 6 months or more, it is virtualy impossible to get rid of it. Best thing to do is put on a UV filter to try and keep it in check.

    T-5 and Power Compacts

    At the 10" range it doesn't really matter what bulb you use because all bulbs can penetrate that depth. Flourescent tubes have the least amount of penetration, roughly 16-18" max. PC can penetrate up to about 20-22". On a 24" or higher tank, you want Halides to penetrate. I personally would...

    Thanks for all the input everyone. I think my light is in the "just enough to keep it alive" section. I will look into the flood light maybe this weekend. I will say though, I have pods and worms going crazy in my fuge as is.

    Refugium Lighting

    Just curious as to what lighting people use over their Cheato. I am currently using the Coralife ColorMax 10 watt self ballasting PC. Makes my tank look like it has pink neons at night :-[.

    Clove Polyps, Kenya tree, and colt coral also come to mind. Just watch for fish eating what you put in!
