Hello I have Derssa in a 45 gallon, was in a 29 gallon- this is also my coral tank, my clam is close to 8-9 inches,started at 5 -6 nearly two years...
I have had the same problem- cal/mag has always been the root problem. I have never figured out what is actualy perfect-rather, just what is...
^^ LOL nuff said ;D Moses has spoken.
Read what you wrote and think about it. Compare it to what you already know concerning your sun. No the sun has no lense but the Earth does. Since...
No anger here. None at all. And yes, there is one correct light source- it's called the SUN. Think/learn about this- then you'll understand where...
Sorry but I have to disagree, that is radiant heat energy- not the same thing as lumen output. Careful how you respond. BTW, yet again you ignore...
Not true this is what PAR is all about, that is like saying the sun provides more light at 40 degrees then at 60 degrees- is this also true? I...
What is so funny? You need 240 watts of LED to cover @ 20 inches of depth, so lets say you use a 250 watt MH instead of a 400 due to lesser tank...
BTW- 2 MH bulbs per year at 65 bucks each (xm 20k's), that is $135.00 a year (w/shipping). On a good ballast set up, electrical cost in my area is...

LOL well why would any one want 400 wats of cree LED power for a fish or coral tank? That would be the same as six 1000 watt MH/'s by...
LED is a great lighting alternative for fish and low light coral only tanks at the present time, however, they do not (1 to most 2 watt values even...
No BS straight Bline for the carpet- I had no time to react- cept trying to pry him out of the kung fu grip that the 20 inch carpet has. He is all...
yea I know what ya mean. ;D If you are gonna do a "fish" only tank then by all means use the LED light you have choosen. However, for corals...
My carpet doesn't seem to require near the lighting that the RBT/BT's do. However, the less light you feed it the more agressive it will become- by...
Hello and welcome to the SW addiction!!! First off, dont believe everything you read concerning lighting. Consider what you want to keep for...
missionsix- yep, exactly my point in my posting, sometimes you think you know your tank- then suddenly mother nature steps in and slaps ya down....
That is a good price- but what bulbs are included, and what type of switching? 3 way - 2 way , or just on/off. I have an Odyssey PC fixture on my...
