Get live bacteria (Bio Spira or similar) and start the cycle. Make sure your temp is at 76 - 78 F and add two/three cheap fish. I would suggest green chromis instead of damsels. Damsels just do not die and they are a bully once the tank is established. Keep checking the water parameters every...

I am planning to sell a large red/pinkish mushroom rock that I got from Trop two months ago. The rock measures 8X8 inches. I am looking for $60. Open for trades.

Here is an update so far. I only have 2 ATI blue plus and 2 Griesmann Pure Actinics on (dawn) right now. I see a lot of pink/red. It looks like the corlaine on the back glass is suddenly VERY pink. Is this normal for these bulbs??

You are absolutely correct John. I already got the pipe and made a plastic funnel ;D :o

Thanks Rod. I only want a little amount to cover the bare bottom glass in some areas and make a think spot for my plate coral.

I am planning to add 10lb sand to my 150 gallon tank that has been running for almost a year now. Do you think it is safe to do so? I mean would 10lb (or less) new live sand cause issues with ammonia/cycle etc?

I was able to pick some up from TBAQUATICS (Brian) tis evening. I changed all of them for now. I definitely see a difference with the dusk/dawn light-up (actinic and ATI blue plus). Will se how it looks in the morning with all the bulbs turned on....

4.8 watt / gallon is way more than you need in a 10 gallon. It is only 12 inch deep and you would do just fine. However, smaller tanks are always a challenge to maintain since there is less room for error because small changes can cost you dearly.

James Yes something like that. However I am limited to 8, 3 feet bulbs in the fixture. I am also planning to add another SLIM Current USA T5 fixture with 2 4 feet bulbs. SO I will have 10 bulbs in all ;D. On a 150 G it will be good to have. Now, I know I can buy these online. Do we know of a...

Good ? Bad ? Should I be worried??

I just noticed this guy in my sump. Not sure what it is. Can someone ID him for me ???

Thanks for the replies. I cannot put 8 bulbs one after another. I have a 8 bulb fixture (3 feet bulbs). The are in 2X4 formation. How can I arrange that???

I am thinking about this after losing the power yesterday for 5 hours. http://www.buy.com/prod/tripp-lite-powerverter-aps-750w-inverter-charger-12v-dc-120v-ac-120v/q/loc/101/10398157.html This plus a $70 battery (from walmart) can run a computer, monitor and printer for 5 hours. That said, it...

+1 on Lost Symbol. I read it in Nov on the plane to Hawaii ;D

Hello everyone. My bulbs that came with my T5 light fixture (Aquaticlife HO T5) are 6 months old and it is time to look for replacements. I currently run (4) 39W, 36 in. T5 HO Bulbs with 420/460nm output (4) 39W, 36 in. T5 HO Bulbs with 700+nm output I was thinking about the following two...

Which Vodka are you dosing ;D

Magafloat and Reef Gadget as well. You cab get both at OG II.

The mushrooms are good starter coral. They are hardy and forgiving. If your tank is cycled and the parameters are OK, you can try the shrooms. I would wait a month or two though after the tank is cycled. Add a few fish first and then get the corals. Good luck.

Hey there I have a sump/fuge combo and now I have Chaeto in it (Thanks to James and Greg). I started the fuge with miracle mud in it. I have been wondering what can I put in the fuge other than macro algae. What is recommended? I have a couple of snails and peppermint shrimp there already...

Black spot disease aka black ich. Fresh water dip may help.
