For me I like a shallow. I have two 30” deep tank and it’s hard to keep them clean. Frag tanks for growing corals is great. It’s very easy to clean and you can move frags/corals around a lot easier. Different fish use different part of the tank. Some fish goby/hawk fish like the bottom of the...

It’s by wi-fi. For the new lights it’s a little better. But the kessil app or the spectral controller is a Better way to configure and make changes to you lights.

It will default to on or off depending on what you have selected for the outlet. There will be no ramp up or ramp down. The lights would be set to whatever spectrum/intensity you have on the lights locally.

What’s incorrect?? I have both and I have used both. If the apex is down your lights is down.if you use the kessil controller it will run your lights independent. When I 1st setup my apex that’s how I did it. I setup my lights and I wanted to save the $100 on the kessil controller so I got a...

For all the kessils for any light really. It’s better to use a separate controller like the kessil rather than using the apex. If the apex dies your light will turn off. The radion lights are no longer apex ready. They want you to use their controller. If you only run one light the it...

I use the kessil controller. If your apex goes down you won’t have lights over your corals if you allow apex to control the kessil lights

On paper that is true in practice it’s a different story. You will lose siphon and get air in the tubes. Every time you lose power you can over flow your tank. It’s adds another point of failure. Over flow are also louder when you don’t drill the tank.

Drilling is the best practice. It’s not hard to drill a tank. They have guides and videos online. If you don’t want to drill then the next best thing is to take the tank to a LFS that drill tanks. I know ACC use to do it and ocean gallery also drill tanks. You can call for pricing.

Adding more lite from a lite bar will just add more light everywhere. I think those led bars look horrible and t5 over a tank without a hood looks really bad. You don’t need to spend more money on anything. All you have to do is turn up the primes you already own. A increase of 10-20 par is not...

Why don’t you just run prime 32 at 100%? You can move them higher until you get the numbers you want.

Hello I can take the Walt Disney frag and the unknown torch. Do you still have it ? I am in Edison So I can meet you there. 7323062516

That looks really good

You could use the plug in your car. You just need to power the return pump and Maybe a wave maker. Good luck

I ran most of these lights over different frag tanks In the same system. I was very surprised how well those lights worked. Spectrum and par where very similar. in my opinion the ocean revive is a very good light. it actually is the best of the black box lights. The ocean revive don’t really...

It’s the low tds in the water. Some places in NYC you get a tds of 40 or less with no filter. NYC has some of the best free water in the world. When I was a kid we use to drink right out of the hydrant no filter.

H and h in NYC has the best bagel in the planet.

I have used vinegar it works. I mix it with the kalk and it makes it a stronger kalk solution. It allows me to dose 3 teaspons of kalk to my gallon of water. I was doing 50ml of vinegar per gallon of my alk dosing container that’s 7 gallon. vinegar is really cheap and I already have it in the...

The problems with clowns is quality of life for the other fish in the tank. when they breed they mess it up for all the other fish. i have a 50 Gallon tank I use as a nem tank. I have a bunch of anemones and in that tank I have two clowns and one tang that they allow to live in the tank And...

Clowns fish are not nice. At the end you will end up with just a pair. A yellow tang if you can find it is a also a great solution. Yellow Kole tang or tominni tang eat a lot of algae.

+1 on the lawn mower those are also good small fish that eat a lot of different algae. The lawn mower maybe ugly but they have a ton of personality.
