I think the 6500 will be slightly more yellow then the 10K but depends on the 10K in question I think. It does have great par and you will get good growth with it. With 2 blue spectrum, 1 purple spectrum, and the Fiji which is red/purple I don't think the tank will be yellow at all.

Good job how about a pic or two. Looks like being a daddy again is the same ... long nights no sleep.

Very nice Greg....what is in the tank...since it is a pretty "cool" idea why don't you start a tank thread.

I love underwater pics, thanks for sharing. They are pretty darn good for a little murkey.

Sounds good...now take your time adding things....you need to let the tank mature and build up your live rock so that the bacteria can handle the increased bio load.

Cool I wasn't sure what you had done. By all means give one a try. I think they have a great personality too.

That is the chihuahua of BTA ;D .... tank looks great those are cool ricordia.

Don't forget the problem algae can use up the nutrients in your system so when you test you won't see any problem. Blow your rocks off with a turkey baster if you don't do it when doing your water change. You don't have the sponge or bio balls in there still do you? I actually have an AP...

Think the blenny is the best but I guess the next would be some of the small angels they eat a little algae but how much is hard to say.

Strange are you sure they are not camel back?

Well as far as the live rock goes I don't know exactly the problem...you have organics it seems creating ammonia ..I would guess it is in the rocks. Don't blow the sand around but if you have decomposing matter in the rocks it may look like sand ..sorta....when you baste the rocks. Keep water...

It could be that your rocks were not correctly cured or you had a major die off....get a RO/DI..will hate me now but thank me eventually. Dr Tims is for salt water?  Just askin...you are doing the right thing with the water changes but get the turkey baster will blow a lot of junk into the...

Mine moved to the back and split...cannot see either very well of course at least they are not carving a path of destruction either.

Welcome back. :) Some questions...where did you get the live rock and how did it come to you? I would strongly suggest getting a turkey baster and blowind the rock with it ... will knock free some crud when you do the water change? If you have not added try adding some biro spira or however you...

I don't think the shrimp had anything to do with the bulbs...more likely a bad molt.  Iodine can help with that. Sorry should be responsible and say that if you dose you should test too. I am lax with this as I don't dose as much as suggested and have a lot of macro algae and skim which...

Totally normal at first introduction and at night.

I got three new fish .... 4 line wrasse and a pair of shark nosed gobbies. I was torn about buying any new fish but decided to go ahead. Sure enough I add three and my bicolor pseudocromis disappears....(I doubt he jumped or anyone killed the mean little bugger) and one of the gobbies jumped...

I cannot help you with the specifics sorry nobody answered. I have a starry blenny and it doesn't bother my cleaner goby(at least not that I saw)

What if anything is removable? You can use the holes for your return pump or pumps or some sort of media chamber using two holes and the pump one. Just a thought. If you did that then the skimmer could go on the right but you wouldn't have the baffles to get rid of any microbubbles.
