    12K

    Depending on the bulb/ballast combination, 20k's can be pretty weak, especially 250 watters. I think you could grow just about anything under this bulb and you 'may' be able to run it without actinics, I have a friend who does just that except with a Reeflux 12k. Heck, for 30 bucks its better than buying a new Reeflux for over twice the price then deciding you dont like it.

    12K

    Its difficult to say, I think it looks better than a 14k but not as blue as a 20k. It seemed to have fairly good color seperation and looked to be pretty bright on an e ballast. What 20k bulb are you running?

    12K

    Next to new 250w 12k se bulb, purchased from thelightingdudes.com, has less than a day on it. I paid $35 will sell for $30. Looks pretty good if you like that sorta thing. Decided to stay with 10k's.
  4. I could use that esv kalk, just dont know when Ill be able to get up north, gonna be in south austin anytime soon?

  5. Looks very much like Acropora solitaryensis..

    BTA spawning

    Ive had many anemonies do that, they seem to crave a cigarette and a cold beer afterwards. Make sure to run carbon and a partical filter if you have one, I had an anemone 'event' that wiped out a 100+ head Frogspawn before I could get to it..
  7. Although it might work, it may cause problems on down the road. I would think that it would be absorbed by the rock and sandbed if you have one and slowly release back causing abnormal fish behavior. Even with large water changes youd only be diluting the oil and I suspect it would take some time to be completely gone. Ive had tremedous luck controling Ich by O2 deprivation, raising the temerature will hinder its ability to thrive, feeding well along with good water perameters will usualy help, maybe even the temporary use of a good UV sterilizer.
  8. Brett, I have a couple of 150 watt de bulbs, one Ushio 10k and a Phoenix 14k if you want to try to part things together,.
  9. Any particular flavor? I have a used Ushio 20k...

    Sandbeds

    Zero inches, sandbed only in the refugium...
  18. There seems to be a few players here, cool. I own a full blown ProTools recording studio in south Austin, anyone interested in putting a project together??? I play Yamaha drums, studios equipped with a Fender Twin, Hartke bass rig and averything else needed to make sweet music and put it on CD including an array of pro LDC and cardioid mics.... Sorry to hijack...
  19. Ive had my MP40W running for going on four months now with zereo problems. I spoke with Steve at Eco tech support about the issues that some seem to be having, his response was that there was a batch of bearings that made it into some pumps that were inferior cusing the units to fail. I suggest that if you feel youre having problems, call him and supply the units serial number so he can help resolve any issues. I woulnt trade my MP40 for all the Tunzes in the world!
  20. Thick mouse pads work great for this... Cheap too... The blue styro I believe would be too rigid.
  21. Is the controller functional?

    Feed Pump

    No sump, no return, probably try the Aqualifter... Thanks...
  23. You want to measure the effluent Ph either in the reactor or a seperate cantainer that the effluent feeds into, not the tank although you shouls also be moniroring the tank Ph as well. I feed the effluent into a small cantainer that holds the probe and the effluent tube placed inside my skimmer...
  24. I have a Tunze 3110/2 that would be perfect for that tank...
