    dumb question of the day.

    theres conflicting information on wetwebmedia about this coral but it seems that it should be kept with under a shelf away from light and have good flow but not direct flow. i think what you are doing is just fine if i do say so..

    dumb question of the day.

    it sounds healthy. the Chili coral is a nocturnal feeder and prefers to hang upside down. sometimes mine does that as well. I currently have had it for a couple months and he is branching out. the best place would be under a dark shelf. most people say that if you just ignore them they will grow...

    dumb question of the day.

    i haven't seen any ill effects posted on any forums really. but who could tell any other way? you can't see whats going on in the tank at night really. I don't think that the Par/Lumen how ever you want to measure it is great enough in a single unfocused led or group of leds. Leds that they are...

    January Group Buy / General Lighting Questions

    I would think that it is more water quality problems then the lighting.. I have a brand new Nova Extreme with 10K and Pure Actinic and have a green algae and red cyano out break, a 5 gal water change had halted it in it's tracks. Now it's started to creep back so something is different in my...

    IDEAr: hob filter into overflow?

    Or if it's big enough just drill the holes and use the pump thats on it.. then if the power is out both return and to sump pump will stop, so no flow and both will restart without your intervention.. I have an emperor 400b tho like 500+gph

    Feeding Harlequin a Chocolate chip is eat mean ???

    i say its no different than fragging corals, do you think that they felt it? how about anemone's? your doing nothing different than would happen in the wild. the only "role" you are playing is providing something that they would have had to hunt on their own.
