Just wondering, where can you even get an Aqua Connect bulb right now? The only ones that I have seen are on aquaristics, and they have to be pre-ordered...

Exactly my question Reefer. So house, your saying that the lighting spectrum for the lower kelvin rating bulbs is really what you need for good growth?

In order to get better growth and color for sps, is the amount of par in a bulb, or it's kelvin rating more important? My dilemma is that I really like the color of a 20k bulb, but I don't want to sacrifice the par that I could get with a 14k or 10k bulb. This is what I have come up with: I...

Well, not exactly what I was looking for. More of a fixture w/ ballast ,glass, and everything except the bulb. Thanks though. :)

Hi guys, I am looking for a sleek 150 watt metal halide pendant. It can be used, just not scratched up and what not. I don't need a bulb with it, so if anyone has something, shoot me a pm or an email. Thanks!!

Ok, I changed the photoperiod. :division: Thanks Chief! Haha, your right Cibo!

LOL. So 6 hours is what I should shoot for? I'll just go and plug in some numbers on the aquacontroller.

Refractometer.

Hey Russ! I'm following your thread on nano-reef also. Your tank is awesome, and if I had a taller tank, I would have copied your aquascaping idea. :D I'm only planning on really easy sps such as monti digis, maybe a monti cap, and probably a small birdsnest frag. I got a 10k in...

Sting, thanks a bunch! I don't really think the fission was worth 30 bucks to be honest. Deepwater, I'd really like to see the tank when I get home at night, so is 8 or 9 hours ok, or is that still pushing it? The temp is pretty managable. Before, I was able to keep it between 78 and 80 even...

Thanks Tony! The returns are all locline bought from savko.com Here is the website where you can buy directly from them. http://modularhose.com/ Deepwater, thanks for the compliments! I didn't think that the photoperiod on the halide would cause any issues, but I will reduce it now that...

Photoperiod: 10:45 am - First actinic on 11:15 am - Second actinic on 11:45 am - Halide on 10:45 pm - Halide off 11:00 pm - Second actinic off 11:15 pm - First actinic off First Actinic Both Actinics Both Actinics + Halide There are still a couple microbubbles as you can see, but...

Hey guys, I thought that I would go ahead and post some pictures of my newly set up reef. Here are some specs: -Custom 11" cube w/ external overflow, and Closed loop w/black base -70w halide w/ 10k Ushio + dual 18w actinics -Aquacontroller jr. w/ DC8, lab grade PH probe, and backlit LCD -Ebo...

Oops...I guess I didn't hear Tullio properly. According to what my brother heard, a 3 watt LED is comparable to 20 watts of halide. Still...that's pretty damn good.
