Can anyone give me some input on the chemical process that is occuring at the molecular level, when a current is applied to a metal cathode in salt water and calcium carbonate is deposited.
I'd like to model and possible build a device that would accelerate the speed at which corals grow. By...
Thanks for all the compliments guys. To me its only OK. I want better.
DRZL Yup its just a plain old purple Montipora digi. It does grow fast though. It has pretty much taken over that rock.
The bulbs are 10K XM's, and just two 40W actinics flourecents.
And of course frags are avail.
The...
Thats a great article, thanks.
To me it looks like the chart reads appx.
NH4
2cm 30-40 microM
3cm 60-70 microM
5cm 100 microM
PO4
2cm 4 microM
3cm 10 microM
Am I reading that right? I'll assume M stands for Mole?
Also realatively what effect does for instance at the 2cm level do those...
All in all there really no perfect answer. In my opinon if I were doing a soft coral only tank I would deinately go with a DSB. I just love the ecosysytem that it creates. Don't be scared of Hard corals. As long as you have the proper equipment its not that bad. Allthough it is a decent amount...
solbby, I can understand your fear of going against the great Bomber. DSB is a dirty dirty word with the guy.
I like like my 4-6" DSB and I'm having a real hard time not just doing it again. But like Jackson, I just can't get the water clean enough for my SPS to explode all be it his are doing...
Plain it is then, thanks. I was hoping for the reflective effect of the white starboard anyway. I have seen pictures of Bombers tank(reef central) and the strange yet cool growth of the corals because of the extra light hitting them from the bottom too.
I'm going to try to get it closer to the...
So if I understand what your saying Cali_reef, you regret doing the faux sandbed look?
Jackson how close to the inside edges of the glass did you get with the starboard? And are you going to silicone it down?
