  1. If you hang a 250w about 10" about a 20" tank I think your LPS should be fine with a bluer spectrum. You'd probably even get much better colors.
  2. Congrats Mark!!!!!! I love the name!!!
  3. WOW! Since you replaced those SPS bulbs, the colors in your tank are looking awesome!!! That Bird's Nest is huge o_o
  4. Hah don't worry I get jokes all the time!
  5. I'm in my 4th (I think) week of dosing. I started out with .1ml/25g, and slowly increased to my current dosage of 1.2 ml/25g. I'm using 80 Proof, 40% Ethanol DISTILLED Vodka. I used it after I already had established rock, and was battling some NO3 that my corals weren't taking a liking to. The parents understood and I let my Dad read this article: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-08/nftt/index.php That is by far the best article on the subject. Read it at least 2 times through!
  6. Happy birthday Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. I'm doing the Vodka dosing method in the tank right now and I've seen an improvement in growth and color. Not to mention 0 NO3 and PO4!
  8. Any new pictures or additions, Dale?! I'm dying to see it in person!
  9. I'll be able to get the gist of what it looks like in person!
  10. Would you happen to have a picture of the 'Nem, Lamont? Might be interested in picking it up! Thanks!
  11. Whoa! I can't believe they survived out of water that long!

    I smell a winner!
  13. SO PRETTY! I can't wait to see it with all the SPS in it!
  14. Thats who I made the reference to in my 1st post You gotta love Dale's tank (and new tank)!!!
  15. It doesn't seem likely that a tank of 5 years would crash because of stronger lighting. One of the tanks here in Austin (also a member here) that I find to be the best has been using 400w MHs for 5 years+ and have actually had to tear down because he got TOO MUCH growth and the tank was doing so well he couldn't keep up. Luckily he started back and his tank is still my favorite.
  16. I think thats where he got his frag from. I'm confused!
  17. Clint already has it... I want it... I'm gonna get you Mark!
  18. Looking good! I love LEDs and want to get some for myself!
  19. Sorry to hear about your father. I hope he makes a speedy recovery!
  20. Sweet! What color eyes does it have?
  21. Hopefully it is just temporary, though! And thanks!
  22. Sad to see you have to tear down! If you could get a picture of the Orange Chalice I'd love to see it. -Brooks
