    LED lighting solution

    From what I've seen, it would cost a minimum of $260 or $270 to get two chinese fixtures to cover that tank. And then name mfrs would be double triple and more.

    Light Intensity Question

    In either case it doesn't work that way, light isn't cumulative. If 30% is below what the subject needs to be productive, than it doesn't matter if you run 30% for 24 hours straight - it won't accumulate over the longer time span to the benefit of the coral. There will be a par value that is...

    Light Intensity Question

    IMO no, the important variable is the intensity of the light. It has to reach a "certain" intensity before it becomes efficient for the zoo.

    LED lighting solution

    I've been thinking over LEDs for a while now and have come up with something that I'm gonna try for my first use of them on a display tank. For me, I try to do everything as inexpensive as possible. I've been doing saltwater for a long time and view it as a marathon rather than a sprint, as...

    Quality Power Strips

    Everything in this hobby can be so costly that on many things I try and go cheap route, so I do the $2 strips. They key is to not overload the draw per their rating. The burned out ones you see are from overload. That's something that can be avoided just by being intelligent.

    King Brothers

    I prefer threaded on the valves, because we occasionally make plumbing changes. Those are great prices on gate valves but I can't find free shipping on them.

    New tank with Fuge questions

    You can put in as much sand as you like functionally and aesthetically. There are different schools of thought but no right or wrong answer. I never used miracle mud so can't speak to that. I'm aware that you get the 10 pound bucket the first time and then a few times a year you add the less...

    C Balance 2 part dosing. Who uses it?

    Yeah it has the elements so you wouldn't have to separately dose iodine mag or strontium. It's about $20 for each bottle, 1.2 pounds, so $40 for the set. That would get you through a couple of years. You can buy them in smaller bottles. The "Reef Builder" is the carbonate for alkalinity and...
