I have 4 strains (5?) of hydno. 3 of them are shades of green. One is green & brown, one is very bright green and the third is a lighter green. You may have the green/brown colony v. the bright green colony? A picture might help.

Cmon, gang, there are almost no pictures submitted this month so it is a good chance to get in the contest!

I haven't met a store yet that would take back an ailing fish...

You need a way to drive your PH down to roughly 7.0 (for ARM media). Now there are other ways to accomplish this, but CO2 is the typical means.

Marco will cherry pick, send you photographs of what he's chosen, laid out the way you describe to fit your tank dimensions. If there's a rock you don't like in the photo he'll replace that rock with another one and give it another go. Marco rock is very light (dry) and is reported to be quite...

As for putting it in your living room, Billy added columns for support under his big tank, if I'm not mistaken. You want to make sure that you're perpendicular to the joists as well, spreading the weight across many.

I love Marco Rock. The figi rock he has is the coolest shapliest stuff I've ever seen. So much so that I've purchased enough to completely rescape my 180. I'm going to replace all of my existing rock once it finishes cycling. I'm really looking forward to it.

Yes, if the PAR value of the new bulb (different for each type of bulb on each ballast) is greater than the par for the old bulb. You could have a 250w bulb that has more par than some of the 400w bulbs or you could have a bulb that has less par than a 175w bulb. Depends on the brand, Kelvin...

I use a 70-200 for taking pictures of flag football, which is 1/2 the width of the standard football field and about 40 yards shorter. I'll even add a 1.4 or 2.0 to that for a little extra reach. Is a soccer field smaller?

Is the "brace" plastic trim or is it a glass divider? If it is just plastic trim then it is largely cosmetic and used for holding the glass (I'd worry less about this). If it is glass I'd be inclined to try to reconstruct or replace it.

Where are you? There's bound to be someone nearby, and I'm sure we're not alone in that we have MANY extra tanks around the house.

If you want to use it for soccer games you're going to want a fast sharp xx-200 or xx-300, which ever you can afford the best of. The 18-55 will be good for shooting indoors, large gatherings, etc. Rather than buy a kit cam, I'd get a body and the best lens you can afford that will cover your...

Those bulbs must have an incredible PAR value (loosely translated to amount of useable light), or the old bulbs not much at all. Going from a low par bulb to a HIGH par value bulb can put the corals into light shock. Instead of instant transfer the corals would have been better served to be...

Go with a 265, if it will fit, Mike. In no time the 210 is going to feel really small! These are all stock sizes for most companies. They wouldn't mass produce them if they thought there was a propensity for failure. I think you'll find more people that have had catastrophic house fires from...

30" wide, starfire glass on 3 sides. 24" tall. I don't consider a 180 a big tank. It doesn't feel much bigger than my 120.

Ditto... Welcome to NJRC, Austin!

You have my most heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your mom. Your family is in my prayers. Your energy is well channeled. The progress pics on the tank look fantastic. That skimmer is HUGE!

I'm there. What's to wrestle? Who are we staying with?

I can't wait to watch the progression. Also interested in the planned change over. The starfire should make your already amazing pictures jump right off of the page! Good luck with it!

Beautiful, as always, Jorge! Great colors.
