Heat is a major concern, is the heat generated in an aquarium from MH bulbs radiant from the bulbs or is it transmitted into the water though the light? I was thinking it's mostly radiant, if so, on the dual 400 route, I could use a UV shield, and "seal" the lights in the hood, from the water...

After roughly a 4 year hiatus, my wife has given me her blessing on starting reefing again. As long as I keep it under control, meaning small. :wink: After sorting through everything I had saved I have decided to use an Oceanic 58 that I held on to. I still have two 400W Blueline E-Ballasts...

Len, I read on usplastics website that the grey PVC should be painted white to prevent breakdown from UV light. Being on the top of the tank, are you sheilding the pipe, or are you using a UV sheild? N

R U open yet? If no when? Scott

Sand, rock, shrooms, polyps, low light softies and inverts (and still might want to invest in a small PC setup), and maybee a shrimp or hermit. I would not all any fish to something that small. Scott

Yeah, It's pretty beefy. I should be able to keep stuff on all levels of the tank. I've got all the plumbing in my basement. 150G sump, and a 50G refugium. 4* the water volume in the basement keeps the water temp at 78, thats without any fans in the canopy. I hope it works out well. Now I just...

No supplimental, which bulbs would be better for SPS/Clam, Ushio 10K's or Radium 20K's? How blue are the radiums? How white are the Ushio's? I'm using 10K Blueline now (very blue), want to switch for something better. Thanks

I'm going to do that tonight. However the unit I have cannot handle the pressure needed to shut off the R/O via the selenoid. I'll just half to keep an eye on it. I just cant figure out why cyno is taking over everything. My frogspawn only opens up half way now. I'm going to drain my RO resivor...

I have never had a major problem with cyno....untill now. I used to use a water purifier DI unit. Recently I switched to a Kent RO unit, but no DI. I also started adding Kents 2 part calcium additive. Would either one of these cause a MAJOR cyno problem? Tank params: Temp 79 Ammonia 0...

What is the the thing pictured with regulators, that looks like a fire sprinkler?

Is this a pretty good set up for carribean diving, cost and equipment wise? Link Under complete packages the "Mares Syncro Axis Package" for $720.00 [ March 15, 2002: Message edited by: NasotheHutt ]</p>

reefatic - What shop(s) do you visit in the area? Mouse - Are ear infections common? When snorkeling I sometimes dive to the bottom (10 to 15 feet) The pressure on my head gets worse the deeper I get. Does this happed with SCUBA? Or is it because I'm holding my breath?

Thanks guys. What exactally does the octopus do? Mouse - If your regulator dosent work above 30m, what do you use to get down that far? How deep does the average person in the southeast US usually dive? How long can you dive on a single 3000psi tank? Any good books, or magazines? Thanks...
