Sorry bout that.....can spare a piece of mine if you wanna try again. I have a bit of brown with the white centers that I could spare if yours doesnt recover. Can just break off a piece...I'm sure it will grow back.

I have 2 large kenya trees(and a few small ones that I cant get to to get rid of) and enough star polyps that I have to cut them back or am gonna be over run with them very soon. My Kenyas are around 9-10 inches tall and the star polyps I have 3 different colours with the brown ones being the...

Ever since my first tank I have used one. I had a bad power strip on my 1st tank and had enough stray voltage running through the tank to start a car. After that I always used one....you never know if a pump or a heater will leak current into your tank and I always though it never hurt...

Same here....cant see a reason to waste it.....I ziplock it in its original package and just try to break off a piece when I need it.

I've always used the frozen....never knew it came in a wafer form.

Each brand of ballast fires the bulb differently perhaps? When I swapped out the last of the old ballasts this morning and lit up my tank it was much brighter and a bit more of a blue tinge came out of the bulbs. I had thought there was a brightness/colour difference when I had 2 stock ballasts...

Took out the last 2 old internal ballasts and sockets this morning.....replaced with all new ballasts and sockets I got at Icecap. Lit up when I tested it outside....am waiting for them to come on for the day to make sure its a go and they all stay lit

well the same socket went out again so it is either the ballast or the socket. Guess I know what I am doing tomorrow after work.

swapped the middle bulb with the end bulb....will see what happens next

not yet....unit is still hot and the t-5's are still lit. Gotta get a helper to get it off the tank (wife when she is in a good mood)(everything's internal) So it weighs a ton and at 6ft long I dont wanna lift it myself

Its weird.....makes no noise....no flickering....just all of a sudden the bulb goes out Other bulbs are fine

this bulb is still lit with the stock fixture ballast.....havent had time to swap em all out yet for the icecaps

Only if its the bulb....have an extra ballast in my trunk :P

Have a 150 bulb in my 6 ft fixture that wont stay lit.....fires up and fully illuminates and then it goes out after about 10 mins. Before I rip the fixture apart should I be thinking its a ballast issue or a bulb issue....has done it 2x today already. Bulbs are new ans ballasts are a few years...

I have their Phytogreen-m, phytocrom, zooplanktos-s and their phytogold-s. Got these from one of our sponsors when purchasing a bunch of corals from them. Havent had a chance to sit down and read the labels and try them out yet....actually I forgot I had them till I saw this thread and the...

I use Salifert for everything but PH Dont recall who the ph is but it was a cheapie

My mother in law plays and got my wife hooked on it too. I am staying away from that one

Looked more like a stretch hex to me. Anyway to figure out system volume I use this site. It works great for most sizes and has a ton of shape options http://reef.diesyst.com/volcalc/volcalc.html

Tangs are good.... eating like pigs and happy as can be. I didnt remember the tank being a rectangle more of a angled end but not a bowfront either. Am thinking more like a flatback hex (it was caddy cornered so maybe that is what is throwing me off.
