Cerith snails are cool looking, long spiral shell. They will eat algae and leftovers. Nerites are good algae eaters and don't get big enough to knock...
Accuglide rails might work if you can find them. They are used to support the drawers the paper sits in on certain Ricoh brand photocopiers. I am not...
Snails. You can get some that will only eat algae, some will eat leftover food and fish doody and others stirr the sandbed. I like a few hermits but...
I've been running a couple 54 watt superblue T5 helios striplight in a 3x250 watt halide fixture for several months, so far so good but I only used...
You can spread the lamp clips out a little and add the parabolic reflector for a T5 to the T6. They are comming out with a VHO version of that lamp...
I would consider going 250 watts so you can run the higher K rated lamps. Running 14K or higher lamps eliminates the need to run actinics except for...
AM has good stuff but make sure you get the ones with the remote ballasts which I think the sexy has.
I know a guy who develops lamps and he says any lamp has a measurable shift in spectrum after 6 months. He says that for ultimate performance you...
I just finally got the hood back on the tank with the 14K 250 DE watt halides. The lamps haven't burnt in yet but I went ahead and took a PAR...
As luck would have it I started my tank with the glass tops on so I didn't have any worries. By the time I pulled the lids six months later...
http://www.reeflightinginfo.arvixe.com/ You can compare different lamps on different ballasts and all kinds of fun stuff, that is in the compare 2...
I have 3 150 watt BLV 10K halides on magnetic ballasts. The BLV has the highest PAR output of any 10K 150 watt halides Sanjay Joshi has measured. The...
Now the creeps gets it. Iread you post and thought you had gotten the IC reflectors, DOH!!! I though maybe the CV fixture was put together with...
What kind of corals doyou want to have. Do you have or want a canopy or would a hanging fixture or pendants be better? Is heat an issue, if so are...
OK so you are using Ice Cap's reflectors. When you referred to "SLS" I thought you were talking Sunlight Supply's Tek reflectors. The Ice Cap's are...
Try one of Ice Cap's SLR reflectors, they will put about 20% more light in the tank at 18" below the surface than the SLS reflector, a lot easier to...
T5 isn't "better" but more usable. They can be placed in a standard canopy without having to run a chiller. The problem is that on a 125 you are...
Most of the better skimmers come from smaller companies that can't afford to do business with the big chains like petsmart and the small LFS can't...
How wide are your coralvue reflectors? (not length)
T5's are better than VHO PAR wise but nobody touches URI's actinic VHO. How long and deep front to back is your tank?
