The water should fall straight down over the foam though. My ASM, which is roughly the same design is usually adjusted to just higher than the sump and it's ok. The higher up it goes the slower the...

I added one to our large coral display and it's been a model citizen so far. No signs of looking to jump but as it is an open top tank I have my fingers crossed. People love this fish.

FW right? You want to turn over you tank's total volume 5 times an hour so plan for more like 200 - 300 GPH after head loss is accounted for. This would take a pump rated for about 600 GPH, a RIO...

You shouldn't use this experience to decide on using QT in the future. IME it is one of the best things you can do to manage new livestock and I really don't understand why more people don't do it....

Based on size aand shape Scolymia vitiensis seems the most likely candidate. You would expect Australomussa to have more than one center in a specimen that size but I did see one about 6 months ago...

It was supposed to hit market more than a year ago and I haven't seen or heard of any yet. TAAM / Commodity Axis is totally messed up these days.

You certainly get more PPFD out of an HQI ballast but that doesn't always hold true for standard magnetic, especially with 10k bulbs.



PPFD varies considerably as well in some cases.

Sort of true. Most magnetic ballasts have a pretty awful efficiency factor and will end up drawing as much as 20% more power than they are rated at in normal use.

Oh good lord, I was thinking grams when I wrote that, don't I look silly.

I still think even mg sounds pretty exaggerated though.

First off your units have to be WAY off, 250mg is more than half a pound. IMO it calls in to question everything else you have to say there.

As a matter of fact the US just did a study similar to...

I think your conclusion might be a bit hasty. Of course it could be that you have a specific species that exhibits this behavior too.

Optimum T5HO Bulb Temp?

I can't remember what the best running temp for T5HO bulbs is. I sort of think 95 but that seems low.

It used to be on Ice Cap's site but I can't find it. Anyone know?

I agree fully with what Albert posted.

The film was bad. They took the one maybe a bit compelling story of the Japanese girl and mangled it with heavy handed clever stunts. I know she's deaf,...

This is so completely wrong.

First, if you buy a Sectrapure unit then then initial little trip to the store to buy new pre filters doesn't have to happen. Also consider that those nice little...

Switch hot and wire the neutral straight through. Neutral and ground are different though, makes life easier to keep them separate in your mind.

Try another ballast, electronic ones will give you the most blue colour but it can vary a lot with 2 different magnetics as well.

Taking pump specs at face value I have 68x in the softie tank and 46x in the LPS tank, both are BB. Actual flow I estimate at about 75% of those numbers.

You just can't have too much flow.
