Hello, I currently own the Deep Blue Solar Extreme T5 H.O. Quad Light System. It's been running perfect for the 1.5 years that I have owned the system. Even for the past 6 months after I made a bulb replacement. Everything has been smooth and very effective. Until last week - The lighting...

Kathy - thanks so much for confirming that this is just a sunburn experience. not that I am taking it more lightly. I'll turn down the light cycle and see if I can find some netting to block some lighting. I have some netting meant to stop fish from jumping out of the tank so i can just use...

Hello everyone, (Reposting this under an emergency tag as I really need some advice on this topic from someone about lighting.) For my 55 gallon 48inch tank I purchased: 2 15K ATI Coral Plus T5HO Fluorescent Bulb and 2 Atinic ATI Blue Plus T5HO Fluorescent Bulbs. For my four bulb fitting Deep...

Hello everyone, For my 55 gallon 48inch tank I purchased: 2 15K ATI Coral Plus T5HO Fluorescent Bulb and 2 Atinic ATI Blue Plus T5HO Fluorescent Bulbs. For my four bulb fitting Deep Blue Solar Extreme T5 H.O. Quad Light System. Before this I ran the lighting unit for about 11 months before...

Hello, I have a traditional 48 inch wide 50 Gallon Tank. I'm still rocking the old school iron stand which shows the sump right below it - not the greatest look. Looking for a wooden stand. I'm not to fussy about what color wood though - as long as its sturdy. Thanks, Roy

I have two Koralia Powerheads. A 1050GPH and another that is 750GPH. They are both a bit over a year old. I noticed that the flow of the tank look "slower" a few weeks back. I pulled out the 1050 GPH and noticed that the fan stopped. I messed around with it and got it working again. Just...

Yep sounds like brown jelly disease. I read online that I can dip it in freshwater and lightly scrub it to remove the brown jelly. Seems like its a goner though from what I read. I suppose I could cut my losses and frag it / toss the rest. However from what I read it seems like the polyp...

So this slime could be rampant algae growth?

Right - so whats up with Pink slimy stuff on Duncan? Now - since I upgraded from my dual lamp to my four lamp light I've been battling algae growth (which I usually just scrape every other day). The algae growth is mostly green anyway - not pink.

stealing what food? I thought Duncan is photosynthetic?

Hello, Thanks in advance for reading my post. Unfortunately it appears that I have a dying Duncan Coral. I have 6 polyp Duncan. I came home a few nights back to find three of these polyps on one side covered in what looks like a pink slime. I pink up the coral - shook it and it all came...

first link shows it perfectly. Cool deal thanks!

Hello, Recently I've been noticing some fuzzy white looking tubes growing on my live rock. They seems to grow on the "dark side" of the rock (always underneath / in corners). Fish and inverts seem totally fine. Also found it in the sump tank. Seems to spread easily. I've picked off quite a...

Hello, Santa gave me a new set of lights I can use to have LPS corals and other cool stuff. Which means that my Dual Lamp light has been made redundant. Below you will find a bunch on info that I put together for the reader about what this product and what the replacement bulbs are. Here...
