    Which Ballast Is Best?

    in Reef Keeping

    Posted

    I have CoralVue and IceCap are definitely brighter. I have the two side-by-side with the same bulbs and there is a definitely difference. As far as the dimmable one, that one will only work the dimmable part with a certain controller, one that I had heard of before and not any of the well known ones (like profilux, reefkeeper, autonautica, etc.). When I get a few hundred to spare I plan on buying another icecap and just keep the coralvue as a spare for back-up.

    Painting pvc

    Krylon Fusion is used to paint PVC. However, I still would not paint ANY PVC (i.e immersed in salt water)that would come in to contact with salt water, much less "inside" the tank.

    Mitch,

    Just saw your post. Thanks for the offer but it wasn't anything major.

    To Mike, Bill B, and Derry, the order arrived tonight. PM me or give me a call about arranging pickup. I will be around tomorrow and for the most part this weekend.

    Are the colors that vibrant in the tank? Where did you get them? I recently got two yuma's that are deep blue with orange polyps. They are the first two yumas (although I have lots of ric's) I have ever had. I really like the yuma's and want to get more.

    Challenges of a Large Tank

    I would agree with offroaddodge. More of everything $$ wise, and of course WCs take a little longer because of the increased volume. A little more glass cleaning simply because there is more glass. Other than that, most everything for me is about the same with my 200 as it was with my 90.

    coral regrowing? what is it?

    Glad to hear the palys are behaving themselves. Yes, I have a lot of those little brittle stars. I'm curious about the worm now, especially if it wasn't a bristle worm.

    That's why this is such a good hobby, there is something for almost everyone.

    Keep us updated on the SPS and how it grows.

    Yes, as Gabriel said it will eventually grow branches. In fact if it does grow (as its looking like it will) I would appreciate a frag some day. The one I broke off was having issues when I broke it off the rock, and its still iffy, if it will ever come fully back. Sometimes it seems best to start over from a new frag.

    BTW, how are the blue palys doing?
