    New TWIN ARC BULBS

    I sometimes questions if people have ever laid the spectral plot of a good 10k bulb over top of a good 20k bulb. Try it sometime. The peaks in the lower wavelengths are very similar. 20k bulbs won't nec. give your corals better color, they appear better under 20k because they aren't saturated in...

    New TWIN ARC BULBS

    Coral categorization Family >> Genus >> species

    Keep in mind species identification, especially in Acropora is a flawed process in the hobby. Although I appreciate people trying to id corals out of curiosity to the species, in most cases the species identification is a stab in the dark and most phylogentic characters will change due to...

    acclimating snails shipped dry?

    +1 Snails, zoas even sps can by shipped this way. It makes acclimating easy, and supposedly a higher survival rate. I had never heard of rinsing with fresh water though...

    Avoid Aquacon.com at ALL cost!!

    I have to say they have a notoriously bad rep on the online community already regarding customer service. I have never planned on spending a dime there. Plenty of other places that go outta their way to make sure the customer is happy that are just as inexpensive as aquacon.
