    My Xenia, paly and GSP ain't looking right.

    The change in temp may have caused it to close up. I have kept xenia at 74 with no trtouble, but depending on how quickly the temperature dropped, it may have casued it to close up.

    What is your temperature? IME xenia doesn't do well in temps above 79-80.

    I finished it at about 11:30 last night. Read the whole book yesterday, what better way to spend a rainy day home from work.

    toilet bowl reef anyone?

    LMAO. No, that is one room that will never have a tank in it. The fumes would wreak havoc on water quality.

    toilet bowl reef anyone?

    Yup. The fish are in a seperate tank that goes around the outside of the toilet tank. The 2 waters never mix.

    Do I need silicone with a UniSeal?

    Hey Ken, Glad it worked out for you. They are super easy to work with.

    Do I need silicone with a UniSeal?

    No, put the seal in first. Make sure you drill the right size hole. It will seem a little loose, but once the pipe is in, it will tighten right up. Like I said earlier, be sure to bevel the end of the pipe and lubricate it to make it easier sliding in.

    Do I need silicone with a UniSeal?

    Once you get the uniseal in place, put a cap or ball valve on the pipe and fill it with fresh water to se if it leaks. I would use just plain tap water instead of wasting salt or RO water.

    Billyr98's Real Upgrade! 450g Starphire Custom Reef Tank!

    LIGHTING QUESTION

    No problem, Gabe. I'm not sure if you can run 6 bulbs off the 660 ballast, but I would run 2 ballasts. 2 ballasts would allow you to run your actinics seperately from your daylight bulbs. 1 ballast will fire all the bulbs at one time.

    LIGHTING QUESTION

    I would go with a 6 x 39w Tek T5 fixture. For bulbs, I would say 2 Geisman Actinic+. 2 Current USA 10K and 2 GE 65K. That should give you the ability to keep just about anything you want. I have the 4x39W on my 70 and I am keeping softies and LPS with no trouble. I tried SPS but they don't...
