Thanks, you forget there are algaes in the tank during the day, or at least I did in this case, zooxanthellae algae, coraline, and just plain film algae too. No I dose two part for my tank no calcium reactor. Thanks again your responses are excellent.

Most welks are sort of elongated with a tail on the shell if you will.

Boomer excellent information thanks a ton. I don't want to hijack the thread by any means but can you expand on the last point you made? I do run my fuge on a reverse cycle to try and counteract it but I still see my PH drop at night. What would be a reasonable drop from say 8.1? Why some days...

I would check out the FS section here ... or maybe at Manhattan Reefers, craigslist etc. At this point people are selling a fair amount of stuff so would think that is the cheapest way to go.

I don't know for sure if you need to do it but as CP lights get older they promote algae growth in the DT that you don't want....could it be the same in a fuge I am not really sure. I would think that more light is fine just harvest more as your cheato should grow more.

Corals look great the Pearlberry and A. Efllorescens in the second batch are my favorites so thanks for adding more pics. Copperband looks fat and happy ;D. Pretty interesting and frustrating for us at times that you can have such different growth in corals. Even the same coral can go from...

Re: Ricwilli's 210 build I am no expert but that looks pretty darn sturdy. Looks like you did great work for what it is worth. :)

Think that PA is requiring a card for the group buy delivery at MACNA FYI.

What should a new member or expired member do if they have placed an order with one of the venders who is requiring a membership card at pickup?

For a couple days you should be fine. Just remember to slowly acclimate them to your DT.

Thanks Mbodell that obviously explains the mechanics better then I could have. My explanation because I was both tired of arguing and tired in general failed to really get across my point. Bulbs use electricity to produce light. The inefficiencies of each bulb produce a byproduct. In MH as...

WOW...does wow stand for Wendy's Ocean World ;D Thanks for posting for two reasons; first because it is just beautiful and two because it helps answer what you can keep under T5 successfully. What a great balance you have mamma mia.

How about energy = heat.

Dude a sailfin tang belongs in a 150+ gallon tank. UPPPPGRRRADDEE PARTY!!!!! Don't turn the skimmer off obviously they are packed in that tank. Don't do a 60G tank if you like fish you need to really crank it up size wise even a 75 G is small for a sailfin and the trigger. IMHO even as small...

You are probably right but he didn't tell us tank size, fish size, ect. He did say . Just trying to point out additional possibilities.

From saltwaterfish.com Just a couple of the many articles you can find if you google T5 vs MH analysis. I am glad to help, but since I am sure you all know how to google something I figured you could find some yourself. I admit I missed your "less heat" part of the comment since the rest of...

David(malulu) has a completely different sort of wave box pretty cool check it out think he had the diagram on how to build too.

Mr X I disagree completely and I know the math is out there to back me up so am not going to do it again. My T5s are not that hot. I have seen some nice MH burns something that I have never had with my T5s. Unless you are talking a deeper then standard 24 inch tank I believe it to be preference...

Could it also be that he is the largest fish in the tank and one of the most active? Do you have surface turbulence for O2 exchange? If other fish are hurting even to a lesser degree that is a problem.

I think it is preference...shimmer vs cost and heat. Check out this all T5 tank. http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=11486.330
