Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Jim were the 15k xm? I found them very dim to my taste. If you like the blue , like i do, and the reeflux 12 k aren't doin it try the pheonix 14's. I found them to be very blue and yet still bright. Pics are great by the way!
I run 2- 10k reeflux and 2- 12k reeflux both 250w se and supplement with 2- 6' vho actinic. I would like a bit more blue and might look into some led down the road. 20k bulbs do have a nice color to them but keep in mind they aren't very bright , they weren't bright enough for me anyway. Maybe...
I was missing a damsel for months till I found him in a overflow. It was like a whole different tank in there, fish, crab, snails, mini dusters, lol it was funny
Your not suppose to tumble it so it breaks down. Just the top of media might move a bit. Nothing violent. I believe there is a foam filter in most reactors to catch debris like that
