    Any LPS corals tolerate high light?

    I have the same color acans on the top and in the middle and the color of both is the same.

    Any LPS corals tolerate high light?

    Agree with all the above. I wouldn't put them that high at first. Start low and move up a little each week.

    Whats wrong with my PAR?

    I have a Kessil 360w over a 38 gal tank that is 14by 22 and the corals I have are looking good. At top is a frog spawn, acan, candycane,and pictina. Lower down are 2 more acans, and a number of chalices. At the bottom is a Duncan, and some open brains. The Kessil's are 9 in. from the water and...

    Whats wrong with my PAR?

    Good. Keep a close eye on them for awhile, to make sure they are adjusting well. Good luck.

    Your right Denzil. This needs 2 Kessil's.

    Whats wrong with my PAR?

    I wouldn't worry about the PAR reading. Everything I've read they are not accurate for LED lights and even other lights. I talked to the Kessil people and they said the PAR readings for their lights do not equate to how much the Kessil is actually putting out. Like you at first I was...

    Hydor koralia DC pump

    I have used the 1400' 1500' 1000, and some smaller ones. I don't know if they are DC pumps. All worked very well,but you might what to look into the Jebao RW pumps. I have the rw8 and rw15 and just ordered another rw15. They are a better pump as far as a wider flow pattern and you can set the speed.

    Jebao rw15 pump

    Just moved my rw8 to my 65gal. to how it would work. The aquarium is a red sea max 250. I never liked the two inlet pumps because they just blast the water at the front of the tank which doesn't provide very good water movement. I called the company and they said I could turn off the larger...

    [Aug 2, 2014] Behind the Scenes Tour of the Steinhart Aquarium (San Francisco, CA)

    I can take myself and 4 others. Everyone can meet at my house. Since I don't know a lot about this web site maybe Geneva or Devon can arrange things. Let know.

    [Aug 2, 2014] Behind the Scenes Tour of the Steinhart Aquarium (San Francisco, CA)

    Sign me up. I like the car pool idea. I live in Oakland so Geneva you come by my house. It's on the way. Off of hyw13 near hyw. 24 Like me know how to PM you.

    Jebao rw15 pump

    I think your right. The rw8 would probably have be set in the 7-10 setting depending on how water movement your corals require. I think you will see that using the rw15 you will get plenty of movement using just the 1-3 setting. At least that has been my experience using both the rw 8 and 15.

    Diver's Paradise: Take Two!

    I have 7 euphyllias in two of my tanks and I basically only feed the smallest one in my 38 gal. The others are in the 150'gal and they are growing at a reasonable rate. In fact I may frag some this fall. I have them at all levels and it doesn't seem to matter to them( bottom, mid, and top). For...

    Corals losing color. Can't figure out why.

    I guess we just read different articles, and you might be right. However, I'm not talking about how different corals react to light intensity. What I'm saying is that according to Kessil they tried to make their light spectrum to fit the needs of corals no matter the combination of blue/white...

    Diver's Paradise: Take Two!

    I think we all learn the hard way when we start out. I also bought everything that moved, a lot of soft corals, which spread every where. Probably too much enthusiasm and this hobby is very addictive.

    Diver's Paradise: Take Two!

    Very nice. I can tell you put a lot thought into the overall design. Much better than just putting in every coral available.

    Corals losing color. Can't figure out why.

    You don't need to use all blue. Call kessil in Richmond if you need more information. Like I said earlier Kessil has made the light spectrum to work at all blue/ white combinations. At least that is what we were told on our tour of their facility. I think you might be causing yourself more grief...

    Jebao rw15 pump

    Yes they are powerful. Just get an email today saying the rw4 is now available. 70 some dollars. This would probably be best for your size tank. At 10 percent is the water OK ?

    Corals losing color. Can't figure out why.

    If you want to borrow my wattage meter your welcome to come over and get it. I live in Oakland. You certainly need more than 20 percent blue and zero white. Don't worry about how much blue and white you have. John at Kessil told us that they made the spectrum at any setting to be sufficent to...

    Corals losing color. Can't figure out why.

    I need to clarify my previous post. What I should have made clear is that the wattage is for each light.
