    Decision made. From front to back... ATI Blue+ Geissman Super Actinic ATI Aquablue Special (full spectrum, more white) ATI Blue+ Thanks for the info folks. Also snagged some new RODI filters and, egads!, a Hanna Alk checker (yes, I'm starting to actually monitor, Im sure this is where it all...

    T5 Hybrid suggestions

    Thanks for that Diana. Based on the profile of the Coral+ I think its out, will most likely go with 3 blue+ and 1 actinic.

    Lazy(wo)man's way of pod raising

    I filled a 2.5g tank 1/3 of the way with 1.021 water about 6-8 weeks ago. I poured a bottle of Reef Nutrition pods in. I added a bit of spirulina powder which I had about as a smoothie additive (enough to turn the water light green). I left the tank on a table. No lights aside from when the room...

    T5 Hybrid suggestions

    Sponge, I'm using the Hydras to supply some decent UV atm and its working well MrX, hadn't considered the true actinic, after 30 mins research, its definitely in the mix, cheers Mark, I have the coral+ as a possible. Its hard to run pairs as I do want to cover a number of spectrums on only 4...

    T5 Hybrid suggestions

    Running 3 Hydra 26HDs over a 100g tank (4'x2'x2'ish) in a 36" ATI hybrid mount (4 bulb). Recently ran a blue+, coral+, purple+, and a UV, as my first go. OK growth, decent coloring, but low flourescence and minimal pop. Now its time to change bulbs. Was thinking... Blue+, Blue+, Purple+, Blue+...

    RO Buddy - Time to Replace Membrane

    Joe, Ran the RO buddy for a few years. It sounds like the membrane. Whenever I replaced it production was back up.

    Group order suggestions.

    I'm doing my annual semi-annual change out of my T5 lamps and my RODI filters. Thought it might be a valid suggestion for a recurring group order to save us all a bunch on shipping. Maybe even do a few versions, North, Central, South? I'll hold off ordering for a week to see how this idea is...

    Kalkwasser dosing specifics - share please

    Hey all, hope the holiday went well :) So, I'm dosing right now and its all pure guesswork. I'm hoping to get some insight. Currently my Alk is low, as is my CA (but not as low). Not going to share numbers just yet, mainly as I havent measured in a week or so. But, regardless of the ignorance...

    15g standard tank

    Thanks much. The 15s seem hard to find, I might just go to a normal 20.

    Chameleon cage

    I was curious as per what this was. I put it in a search engine and I think I broke the internet.

    Chameleon cage

    Hallow, 25 may be a bit on the smallish size for a chameleon in the long run, a 2' base or better is preferred with an 18" or better height. Thanks though. R&R, may be out that way this Saturday oddly enough, will check it out (along with a few breweries that day), thanks. Sponge, very...

    Looking for an exo-terra or similar, glass preferred for heat and humidity retention.

    HIGH COLOR FRAGS -- AquariumCareCenter.com Web Update

    Was up there today for a small pice of rock, ended up bringing home a few small frags as well. Still some great deals going on after last weekend. If my tank were back up to par I'd have been overloaded on my way out. If the sale I saw today is remaining on over next weekend it's a worthwhile...
