Sup guys, I'm looking for experienced opinions on this. I have a 90 gallon with 2-150 Hqi and 2-130 Dual actinics with my SPS mounted high in the tank. I'm getting steady growth but i allways ask myself, what if I had 250s? I see that plenty of people grow SPS with T-5s, & VHO. And they seem...

Guy's what happened to the forum? Am I loosing it? ??? Erik

Sup all? I have a green Turbinera frag that I purchased from pacific east in July. It was doing fine and growing well up to two weeks ago when I remounted my torch about 5-6 inches below it. Some of the polyps retracted on the side near the torch and the holes have a brown film covering them...

Guys, I recently upgraded my 10K bulbs to 14K on my Current outer orbit fixture. I love the color that the current 14K bulbs produce, but I have been experiencing some "off color" issues at start up once in a wile. Whats happening is that sometimes when the ballast turns the bulbs on, one may...

Guy's I found my pipe fish dead this morning. My tongue coral was sucking on it's body when I found it. Two weeks ago the same coral had a green chromis half way in it's body. Do I need to get rid of this thing, or is it this a coincidence? The only other copod eating fish in the tank is a 6...

Hi Guys. Three Weeks ago I started to loose the skin/polyps on an Orange Digi and had to get rid of it. The skin just started to separate from the skeleton! Now today I was looking for growth on the base of my green acro, and I saw the same thing! What's happening? Help! Erik

OK, stupid question guy's. What type of algae do lawnmowers eat besides hair? My boy was a monster a few Mos. ago, but now he looks like he's just hanging on... He was a bully a few Mos ago... No more hair algae I guess ;D But I feel bad for the poor little guy. I have some very coarse brown...

Hey guys, I have a couple of caps that were given to me that are brownish in color. They are growing and adhering to the rock that I glued them to and are sprouting new pollips out of the growth on the bottom. They seem a little pale, do you think that I should lower them? They're under 2...

Where do I find these things (mainly the Red)? Might be a stupid question... but they say use the freshest available... 10 g of Red Algae (Palmaria palmata; Bisck uses Julian Sprung's brand) and/or 10 g of Spirulina, 10 g of Nori (spirulina is what Bisck prefers) Erik

Fellow Reefers, I need some education on the above topic. What are the differences in performance between these two bulbs? I have 130 Watt PC dual Actinics, and the newer release of my system has 2-54w T-5s, what's the big difference? I've herd from a local retailer that the t-5 have more...

Hey guys. I've been noticing a slow growth on a couple of my rocks that seem to some type of algae that looks gold when growing. When formed it almost looks like a Monti cap. Any idea what this is? It's almost amber in color. Erik

OK, after visiting Jrods house a couple of weeks ago, then dropping by camz28's house yesterday, I ask myself one question... Why didn't you get the good ol' metal halides in 250w??!!! But Noooo... I had to go "space age, and go for looks and design", and get the sleek looking Current outer...

Hello again fellow reefers. Who can shed light on this subject? I'm referring to the many tiny snails that suddenly appeared in our refugiums, then our main tanks, and how they came about. Are they harmful? They seem to eat algae like turbo/astria snails they just don't have a shell. "Seek...

Hey guys. My tank has been running since Nov 5th, I turned the lights on a week before Christmas, & went through my Algae blooms too. Now I have no more algae, except for the haze that we clean off of our glass every 24-48 Hrs. My coralline Algae has been spreading nicely since the initial die...
