I will plan on meeting you at Shane's at 10. I will bring your ballast w/me.

how do you figure out your lighting needs?
GKarshens replied to underwatermonsters's topic in Reef Keeping
Good point. I forgot to mention the Actinics -
That does look similar to the destructive pattern they are leaving on my corals.

I am by no means a lighting expert, but I also have a 125 (6'). I am using 3 250w SE MH bulbs. I am growing soft, LPS and SPS. I find the hardest part about keeping all 3 is getting enough flow for the SPS without blowing away the others. -
I could help Sunday morning, but I have to be home by 2.

These were used for less than 2 months. They work fine but I don't have enough Actinic supplementation to get the color I wanted. So I switched to the 12ks. $20 each.

Thanks for chiming in guys. The more we all harp on people about dipping AND examining everything we put into our tanks the better off everyone will be.

Sounds like pods. They are good.

Mushrooms or zoos are a good beginner coral. You might still have a little bit of a cycle depending on how long the live rock had been in the store. I would give it a couple of days and do a water test before adding anything else. Welcome to the club! and the obsession!

As many of you know I have had a problem with these Nudibranchs. I am ordering an Ornate Wrasse to try and control them. I thought I would post some pics so that anyone that doesn't know what to look for will see them. Make sure to check all frags and rock you get from anyone! Here are the eggs: And here are the actual Nudis:

Georgia Aquarium: Keepers of the Deep
GKarshens replied to Polkster13's topic in Off Topic Discussion
They were both great. I noticed that the Hawaii aquarium said they only ship their frags to other public aquariums. I wonder why. -
Anyone? Please. She needs a good home.

It is a red fuzzy algae that I have seen grow in Cheato. I hear it is difficult to get rid of.
-
Could also be cotton candy algae. Cheato should not go sexual.

One of our sponsors is top-off.com. I have one of their float switch setups and it is great. Super easy to setup and works perfectly. I use an Aqua Lifter pump to pump from my reservoir to my sump. They are about $12.

Welcome to the club!

I have a male and a female. The male is very fat and the female is very skinny. She is constantly hunting the rocks and in good health, she just needs a tank with more pods. I would be willing to give her to a good home and if you have a frag to spare that would be great. It would have to be at least a tank with over a 100lbs of rock and no other pod eaters (fairy wrasses, sand sifting gobies, other mandarins)
-
I currently have about 30x turnover in my tank. I know some people have even a lot more than that if they don't have sand.
-
That depends on what type of corals you are wanting to keep. SPS need much more flow than LPS or softies.

Thanks Jason and Ashley! Here are some pics:

How about $200?

Congrats!

They are on sheets of paper for easy install. Each sheet is 1.15 sqft and I have 32 of them. $250 OBO
