What spectrum are the H150's on the Neptune Aquatics display tank, Blue? What's the difference between the H150 and A150 range?

Isn't Hamilton Tech naming all of their Metal Halide fixtures after North American/Caribbean locations (Cabo Sun, Cayman Sun, etc.)? Seeing as to how Kessil's A150W are already named Deep Ocean Blue, Ocean Blue, Sky Blue, and Amazon Sun, may I suggest: Sahara Gold and if there's a...

No clowns at the moment. What's CB and what challenge did you have in mind?

Water parameters are great, he's in an established reef tank with sps etc. but I can't seem to entice him to eat prepared food. Maybe he's still settling in but is constantly picking on the live rock and consuming copepods - hasn't touched any of the live coral or polyps. He ate some frozen...

Mariculture is great, *sigh* but if only True Perculas and Clarkii Clowns looked half as good as the wild caught ones. I love the ORA dottybacks and can't wait to get me some of their pellet eating mandarins and psychedelic dragonettes.

Trimmed the refugium Chaeto today, who wants a free bag of the stuff call me for pickup in SF near 18th Street & Mission. It's mostly the fine floss Chaeto with a small ball of the coarse stuff as well, grapefruit sized in a 4" X 7" plastic fish bag. No hitchhikers as far as I can tell but you...

Radiums are best run on pulse start magnetic ballasts. They also fire up on electronic ballasts but the spectral balance shifts towards blue because they are underpowered. Except for 400w Radiums all the other wattages draw more power than rated. The 150w Radium burns at 228w on a m81...

+1 might not stop the RTN tho. Slimers are easy to be had and inexpensive. Better to toss it before RTN spreads to other, more expensive corals.

What is that, A. prostrata? It's also a similar color to one of the hoeksemai morphs at Atlantis Aquarium. They have both the darker royal blue and electric blue. I used a peppermint shrimp to get rid of aiptasia. Didn't feed him at all so he eradicated all the pests, even the 25c sized...

You missed my point. I did buy it because I liked it; however, I also want the Upscales Oregon Tort. From what I have gathered, the UOT is a different shade of blue and growth form than the others. I want to know which one I have so I don't end up purchasing duplicates of the same thing...

From the BA-CFM website, the 2006 vendors were Reeffarmers, Atlantis Aquarium, Fragfarmer, Reef Ready, ACoralSource, AWExotics, Reef Tec Designs, Jen Dub, Aquatic Marines (snipersps), YourReef, Diamonds in the Reef, New Alameda Aquatics, Muse Corals by Sheen Yen, Mermaid Aquarium, Reef...

Hunter says it's an Oregon Tort but doesn't remember who gave it to him. It would be nice to know which one he has so I don't have to buy a duplicate one from Upscales in Portland. Here's an interesting history that explains the confusion over different Oregon Torts (I think Hunter's OT is #2...

Does anyone know with certainty whether Hunter's blue tort centerpiece in the display tank is an Oregon Tort or Cali Tort? I think it's under 20K, the color's metallic blue purple with some green tints on new growth from the base that's been shaded from the light. There is minimal green on...

It really depends on the phase of the moon. A full moon above Bora Bora is very bright while in comparison, a new moon is pitch black. I used to live on Moorea and once my eyes adjusted to the darkness it was easy to navigate the terrain without a flashlight if there was a full moon. Have no...

Hiya Folks, I joined BAR on the prompting of Derrick at Ocean Treasures Aquarium and Jim at Green Marine. This is the first time I have joined a hobby club, aside from sports. I have been keeping tropical fish for over 25 years, I initially started in freshwater, switched to reef, then...
