They grow a lot faster when you not looking at them :)

Upgrade the under cabinet light to hydra 26hd's you will be all set :)

Make sense to light a 180 property with LED's can be costly. Is the 20k too blue. Corals supposed to use the blue end of the spectrum more though.

Hmm, interesting. I wonder if the glass top I have currently can block UVA. Are you all happy with the growth and color under MH?

Mike I am running the fixture made by reefbrite which comes with the LED's. It's a 14k bulb but I am getting use to the whiter color. The fixture is only 175W. But the tank is a frag tank and only 17 inch deep. The tank is in the basement so heat is not a problem. Only running the Metal Halide...

Only a few days but the clam and BTA really likes it. Jury is still out for the Sps. Anyone still running metal halides?

Maybe reduce the amount of white? Coral browning also can be caused by too much nutrient in the water.

Paul - you seem to be dosing a lot of NOPOX. My maintenance dose is only 2ml/day. What are your levels now?

Karen I assume you're not keeping SPS in that 180 of yours :)

Filefish is going to Karen.

Multicolor James will have first dip. The yellow belly is available. Only looking for mp40qd, female blue star leopard wrasse and high end sps for trade right now.

This is my basement tank. It's a softies type of tank. I am making that tank more like a frag tank so most of the rocks will be removed. The angels like rock caves and will not do very well in a frag tank setting.

Does not pick. I have softies, zoas, acans, montis and a derasa clam. Very cool fish I am thinking about keeping it :)

If nitrate is already less than 1 ppm no need to dose. What is your phosphate level at?

Going in a different direction so have a few fish for sale. Serious inquiries only please pm phone number for pictures. All fish are healthy and plumb. 1. orange spotted filefish. I have had this fish for about a year. A medium-sized female. Eats flakes (only one kind and will include), hikari...

Jeremy if we know the answer to your question we'd all have the most beautiful tanks. However many tank are not even well established after one year and those do have some success have problems quite frequently, sometimes even tank crashes! As you mentioned our tanks are ecosystems. These...

You will probably get a lot of answers. I have limited experience having used only two different ones. And I am partial to the skimz currently running on my tank. Maybe I just haven't used a better one yet. One thing I would say is a separate water level adjustment is very useful. This feature...

Paul, amazing work!

When I had a young tank years ago I always wondered why some corals didn't do well while the parameters were spot on. Now I seldom see this problem. Some animals are more sensitive to water chemistry or the biological balance than others. If your tank is only a few months old it's safe to say it...
