    What is this

    I think we need a camera with a macro lens for folks to take "what is this" pics.

    How do i prevent an overflow?

    If you can't fix the suction problem, you can get a power strip/box that has a starter on it, so the button has to be held down to turn it on. It won't go on automatically after the power feed to it is turned off.

    opinions please

    I disagree. The emitted light is the same. When advising a reefer that starts out saying he has limited $ but wants to go into LEDs, these are a great option.

    led light opinion

    Looks like a good value. I'd just add that based on the specs with 12k and blue actinic coloring, it's a light that will tend towards a blue look so if you like that it'd work. It seems to have a lot of power so in that regards two seems like enough, but it depends on the spread of the light -...

    Power Head Suggestion for 30G Cube

    At minimum in terms of value and performance do the jebao wp-25, which can be had for about $70 shipped. The MPs are pretty sleek, if your budget is not a consideration than that's a good option.

    opinions please

    In terms of the "lighting" - the components that make the light producing system are only (1) wiring, (2) the led chips which are pretty much bridgelux in the Asian generics, (3) transformer or a couple of them to step down the voltage, and (4) heat sink. It's pretty simple, and the same...

    Shrimp in skimmer?

    They will do that, get into small places with good flow. It's their inclination. You'll need to obstruct the path into it.

    Purple tang

    Just curious, how long did this behavior go on, or how long did you let it go on. Most time in my experience it goes on for a day or up to a week, and then subsides and everything is fine. Another thing you can do is tape a picture of a large trigger to the side of the tank. I do and have...

    I would get them if I needed three. I've very recentlyseen them a few dollars cheaper even, the dimmables shipped in the US for $95 each. I just bought 2 non-dimmables of those same type 120w housed units for $60 each. I have them over a 90 gallon. Of course you can pay more. But light is...

    How to make your tank natural looking

    IME the darker the background the flatter the front to back dimension looks, so I go for light blue now.
