Sorry Mott, I tried to take a look at his results for you with the link you provided to make up for derailing the thread but I didn't see any Reeflux bulbs listed. The XM 175W 10000K SE 1 with the Icecap 175W Electronic ballast has a PPFD of 70 The Hamilton 175W 14000K SE 1 with the Icecap...

Yep, absolutely.

No, the only reason I did this purchase is because of past dealings with this person. Everything has always been as good or better then it sounded. Based on that I feel comfortable thinking it will contain the type of stuff he said it would contain. I would not have purchased from somebody else...

I would/DID. :) I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. I figure I can probably find a use for most of it somewhere or sometime so why not? Granted I wouldn't buy this from anyone but the guy selling this stuff has a good reputation and always seems to give good deals on frags and stuff so I don't...

PAR does takes into consideration all bands of light that cause photosynthesis (400 to 700 nm range). It's not a measurement at any set wavelength which is why many people rely on this value. I certainly don't think it's the "perfect" rating to base a light purchase on since it doesn't weigh...

That's so cool!

I've got a Queen Trigger too along with a few other triggers. They are so cool looking. Their eyes almost glow-in-the-dark and look so intimidating. Have you guys thought about putting any rays in that tank? Something like a cortez would add some additional diversity and are cheap too! I would...

No problem. So do you think you are able to do the plumbing yourself? If not I bet you could get help from the crew here at the club. Somebody probably lives close enough to you that could give you a hand with this when you're ready. Carlo

Nice, the Alk didn't drop anymore and the Calcium is finally starting to show some movement! Now we're getting somewhere. Go a head and do the full 25% water change as soon as your ready with enough water made up and mixed well. I tried going back looking through the thread and didn't find it...

This doesn't surprise me at all but it is a concern. Just to make sure, the 7 KH is a dKH reading and not meq/L reading correct? Also, how big a water change did you do (IE 10%, 25% 40%)? If you did a large water change this would look about correct but I believe you were going to do the...

I agree with Phil. Good idea!' Carlo

Hello Jonny, I've had several small (2.5g) to medium and larger size tanks (see my sig). At present all my tanks are connected together as one large system except for a couple which are my 44g pentagon and a new JBL 24g Nano Cube (actually my kids tank). On the pentagon I've got a Sea Clone...

Calcium number too. Carlo

Why? You can use it for both. I keep my in the sump but then move it to the new water I'm mixing when ever I need it. Carlo

Pickup a hardness test available at your LFS or at HD/Lowes near the house RO systems and the softeners. You could even take a sample of your tap water to a pool store and have them check the hardness for you. This way you can see how hard the water actually is and be able to size the unit...

Think out loud so we benefit too. Carlo

Official welcome dude. Can't wait to see the pics of the setup. Carlo

Anybody ever try Yellow Tail Damsels in a Nano. I've got them in my big reef but wondering how they would do in a Nano. Nice bright blue and yellow colors and usually out swimming in the open. While still a damsel they don't seem to be no where near as aggressive as typical damsels or even some...

Unlike the pH and ORP type probes which need to be stored wet if not in use the Conductivity and Salinity Monitors don't require it. They can be stored dry. Just use it, rinse it in RO and put it away. The salinity monitor can also be used continuously in your salt make up water or sump too. Carlo

Doh, good catch. Boy that was a blast from the past. Yep meant the neon gobies. I'm glad somebody knows what they're talking about! Do I get any points for a half correct suggestion? I got Neon right. :) Carlo PS I'm following this too as well as throwing out some possibilities because my...
