    Art, the 2 26s on my 90 are growing sps quite well, though the sps is 2/3 up the tank height and above, with softies and some lps below that level.

    Going back to t5

    I use them myself and have 2 of the 26 units about 7" above the waterline on a 90. Im getting great growth and good color. I rented a par meter a few months back and made some extremely detailed diagrams of par levels at different settings. If you like , I can post the charts along with my...

    Mean clownfish

    ^ +1 Remove her, re-arrange the rock, add the new fish, put her back in at night. She will not recognize the territory and, usually, will accept the new fish as it re-establishes. If it does not work you can supply the other fish with very tiny switchblades.

    Tap dancin' and whistlin'. Cheers guys. Just blowing off steam. I'm (Was) running a ReefKeeper Lite. I'm unsure if its the controller or the strip causing the errors, but its an older system. Was considering upgrading to the bigger leagues but will probably just get a new RKL with the coupon...

    Hows this for a &*^% week?

    Last Sunday my Reefkeeper gave up. Slew of errors, reset all, troubleshooted, etc. No dice. So been doing things manually. Coupon came from BRS, figured I'd buy a new one. Expensive but needed. Brought Jeep to my mechanic Wednesday. Cylinder head is cracked. At least $1200 repair if I don't...

    My tank thread

    Beautiful nem, guessing its a rainbow. For some reason I cant keep them, tank parameters all good, they just dont do well. Grats on it, when mine was alive it was beautiful.

    NJRC T-SHIRT ORDERS

    Unfortunately not. I was told they run as standard size T shirts (eg Haynes, Fruit of the Loom). I'm pushing the boundries of a regular Large so I'm going with XL to be safe. When I talk to the printer on Tuesday I'll verify. I may even try a few on. If they run abnormally small or large I will...
