Total of three blue strips and two white strips.

Color looks very similar to when both Mh and all six T5's were blazing. I've only chosen the height based on the existing splash guards. I checked out different heights and it seems like plenty of light even at it's current height. Since light drop off is so marked, I will likely modify the...

My electric company is going to hate me. :)

As Promised (I'm pretty stoked and optimistic about all this :)

My existing and somewhat successful lighting fixture is a Photon Plus that has two single end Mh 250 watt bulbs and six T5's. I bought it from Aquarium Specialties, one of the few suppliers that distribute it. Cost was $2K. It's a real energy hog and gets pretty hot. Hot enough to heat up my...

You still have that plate coral? :) You know the one, green fringe, orange/yellow body. I want it!

As I quickly search my tank..........geeze, I hope I'm not a culprit... :davie:

I started with LR and Cheato with a few shrooms and zoas. A couple chocolate stars still reside there, prior food source for the Harlequins. Three proud mangroves, courtesy of JAR live on. No longer any Cheato and very little live rock. Just enough for the roots of the mangroves.

Nice one for you, N.B.R Nice one for you, N.B.R Nice one for you, N.B.R Nice one for you, N.B.R :) :) :) See you at the swap.

Three ready for the swap, one for DBTC if anyone wants it. Nicely healed, big hunks.

Thanks, Gresham. I believe I have some of each. :)

Are there easy to recognize characteristics that differentiate the two types?

Hey Jess, I've got quite the garden of blastos. Some are very unusual and some are unique to my tank among our members. Is the new tank completely cycled? If you are pretty sure your tank will support them, I've got at least a couple that I would trade for blastos that I don't have. I have...

Hey Manny! :) You've been published!

Hi Victor, Welcome aboard. You are going to like it here. :)

Hey Mike, My RO system is a GE Merlin "on demand" system so I only run it when I am using it. I use a booster pump to increase the discharge rate and have the little spigot on about 12 feet of poly tubing. When I'm making 50 gal of salt mix or filling up the 10 gal ATO reservoir, I just do...

I do like many, have everything within hose distance of each other (my RO supply, tank, sink and mixed tank are within about 10 feel of each other. I do keep an air stone in the mixed tank to help prevent precipitation of solids as well as a heater keeping it around 75 deg F. My guess is that...

That's a lot of water! Let's see.............80 gallons to change every 4 weeks.......hmmm. Lot's of sea water mixing, any ideas about streamlining that operation? I use a dedicated 50 gal mixing drum and mix enough for about 3 water changes at one time. When I do my changes, I siphon off...

Hi Jonathon, My wife just had a new student add to her 1st grade class in San Mateo that only speaks Mandarin. We were very surprised that the family did not choose to add to the immersion class available in our area but the family felt it would be more expeditious to enter their child in...
