reefgeek or premium aquatics. Reefgeek is a hair cheaper, but PA is a club sponsor.

Ric, No way that's my tank. There's no algae in it. :) That tank's light setup is: 2 x 24W Blue Plus T5 HO Fluorescent by ATI 1 x 24W Super Actinic T5 HO Fluorescent by UV Lighting 1 x 24W Fiji Purple T5 HO Fluorescent by Korallen Zucht You can swap out the Super actinic and Fiji Purple with...

lol ^^^^^ See ;D

New acan frag new rics x2 duncans happiness I'm starting to get worried about three zoa colonies. In particular my jokers haven't fully opened yet.

Nah, I was actually talking about running the ATI Blue+ bulbs. The PAR and color are really tough to beat. I would swap out a deepwater for a twilight (460nm) on your all Icecap setup and run with either 2 Actinic (420nm) or 2 Twilights. Without having seen the bulbs I'm not sure which pair I...

LR prices can vary greatly from where you get it and the quality of the rock. Getting it from a fellow reefer is normally a more cost effective way to go at <$4 a pound. Give be a week or so and I should have some cheato for you and a kenya tree frag.

You should be fine running the Icecap bulbs. I don't have any personnel experience with the bulbs though if you are using them for mainly actinic reasons I would consider running Blue+ Deepwater or midwater (Deepwater has more blue to it of the two but both will pop colors the actinics miss)...

It can, but it does depend on what mode you run it on from what I understand. Reef Crest during the day and lagoon at night seems popular though

I'd remove the sponge with the chemipure/carbon filter floss in there already.

Icecap's bulbs are made by UVL, but the big difference is that the icecap bulbs are supposed to be beefed up for over driving them with their ballasts. Icecap to UVL btw... Reefcrest = Aquasun Midwater = Actinic White Deepwater = 75/25 Twilight = 454

ynotme's frags are nice. Depending on your fixture, well individual reflectors, SPS should do well in the top half of the tank. I would look at getting a favia or LPS showpiece myself.

Do you have another bulb you can try firing? I'm leaning towards ballast or wiring. Also, you may want to PM the icecap folks or start a thread in their sponsor section to get their input as well.

The 6" clip on fans work well for that. Yes. If you are looking to cool the T5 bulbs you'll want either a push-pull setup or to have the fans blow on the bulb ends as opposed to the middle of the bulb. [/grim]

You could get a rubbermaid container to house all of your coral and rock during the build as well. Everything but the tang come to think of it.

Assuming it's a DE fixture you will have to change to bulb's socket as well.

For SPS I would say yes though some softies might not like the flow if it's a mixed reef.

What size tank is this on? What is the overflow rated for? What brand skimmer? Skimmer location? You could try a stockman standpipe or a gurglebuster setup, but I'd like some more details first please.

I found two of my missing rics and the bleached one is recovering nicely. :happy: new zoas raffle candy canes doing great zoas after fragging. I think I could have fragged some more. frogspawn mini frag rack

My sleeves are HUGE now that I'm losing weight.

Logistics solved in less than an hour. It's a Christmas in July miracle!
