Hello everyone, I'm saddened to say, but I will be putting this hobby on hold for a while. Between going back to school and having a new baby, I simply could not keep up. I will definitely be going back in the future, with a lot more knowledge :) What I'm dealing with now is this used tank. I...

Hello everyone, I'm saddened to say, but I will be putting this hobby on hold for a while. Between going back to school and having a new baby, I simply could not keep up. I will definitely be going back in the future, with a lot more knowledge :) What I'm dealing with now is this used tank. I...

Still thinking about it, and highly considering it. I'm due to replace the lamps in March, so I will have to be deciding soon...

The payback is what I'm looking forward too, and the easiness of the whole thing. They come with a 3 year warranty also, which is why I'm highly considering.

Ok, I guess my question is not very clear, sorry. There are these new bulbs (check previous link by Glenn). These bulbs are LED lamps that can replace the T5s. Just like LEDs, these bulbs have a long life, etc. They just came out a few weeks ago. My question is: Are these lamps any good? And...

yes thank u, I know where to find them, but I'm looking to see if they work well (or if they work at all) with the RSM 250?

:bump:anyone?

Just thought I'd start a new thread. Are there new LED lamps any good? Do they work with the RSM 250? Anyone using them?

Hey everyone! I haven't been here for quite a while, once again. I'm happy to say my tank is doing a lot better, I never gave up! It is time for me to replace my bulbs, but as I was searching, I came upon the "Euroquatics E5 Retrofit T5 LED Lamps." I searched other threads, but haven't found...

Like I said, my tank is doing a lot better, and this is what I've done: -Water changes, about 10 gallons every 5 days, trying to take out as much algae as possible. -Lights off for 2 straight days, on for 2-3 hrs then on. -Dose with MicroBacter7 by Brightwell Aquatics everyday. Hope this...

Happy to report that tank is looking much better. I turned lights off for 3 days and dosing, and it's looking good. However, I did have a casualty: my poor yellow tang :( I am determined to get this tank back on track though!!!

Hello, and thank you again for the responses, I've been able to rule out potential reasons one by one. Ultimately, phosphates is not the issue, reading was a zero when testing for phosphates. Visited my lfs and they're recommendation was to use Tech M Magnesium and MicroBacter7 to starve the...

Thanks for your responses! Here are my parameters: Salinity: 1.024 Ph: 8.6 Alk: 0-1.6 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0 Calcium: 390 My usual WCs consist of 5 gallons once a week. For a month now I've been doing 10 gallons, and the last two weeks I've done 10 gallons/week and 5 in between. For RO/DI and...

Posted this to my thread, but started a new one hoping to get more help: Hello everyone! I hope I still know how to use this. I haven't been on for over a year. I need help!!! My tank has been taken over by algae (see pictures). I don't know what to do!! I've had my tank for 3 years now...

Good idea, will do that, thanks!
