    50/50 bulb or 10k

    i think i figured out my problem. My actinic bulb after a short while doesnt shine blue, it shines white. i am guessing it has gone bad. I am going to call oceanic and see if they will warranty it because i am still in the manufacturers warranty period. if not, i will just buy it, but i figure...

    i wouldnt remove them all at once. i would do maybe 15% to 25% per week. they do their job with holding the good bacteria. if you remove it all at once, you may get a small spike causing a small cycle. to me it isnt worth the risk. If you can afford it, the intank media rack is the best...

    50/50 bulb or 10k

    Currently in my tank i have 3 bulbs, 2 10k and 1 actinic. The colors in my tank look amazing when i have the single actinic on, but when i put on my 2 10k's, it is so bright, that things tend to drab out a bit (for lack of a better word) it is getting close to the time i should replace my...

    14g Biocube questions

    with the stock hood, i dont think you can control the fans through the blue lights. i am fairly sure they are powered by the white light. i think your times are good. you are doing the twilight hours which is great. i only have my lights on for 7 or 8 hours per day because i dont have timers...
