    VHO ballast support T5 HO

    I have a VHO ballast with 4 wires coming out which support two 110 vho bulbs. I want to switch to using only two 54 watt T5's. Since each wire set can handle 110 watt VHO, can a set handle two 54 wat T5's? It seems as if it should be okay? I've neever done this before, do you just connect the...

    Had to try it . Vertex Skimmer

    I heard these were built with a thicker acrylic compared to other skimmers? Can anyone vouch for this? I always going with an Ocotpus extreme now this skimmer caught my attention. Can anyone chime in about comparing both skimmers?

    Which MH 250w Bulbs...

    If you still have your ballast and it can fire up a PFO/HQI bulb get SE radium 20k bulbs. You stated you want a crisp white bulb and thats what Radiums deliver. In my opinion its one of the best all around bulbs.

    My reef started a fire

    How did your tank dump saltwater onto the male end? Usually there should be a loop unless water literally poured on the male connection? Just trying to understand what happened so I can correct anything on my tank. Thanks Oh glad you caught it too!

    Could this have been the problem for my breaker trip?

    I noticed I had a huge dilemma for my tank room which stores my sump, frag tank, refugium. My 15 amp breaker kept tripping last night? I even stayed awake till 4am trying to figure it out, and even slept near the tank to hear if the water from the over flow stopped. You invest this much I...

    Need your input Large tank owners with seperate sumps.

    Thats a little pricey for just maybe a once a year outage that last longest for 3-6 hours if even that. Longest I've seen in northern CA was 5 hours, unless someone take out a electrical post. Thanks for the info

    Need your input Large tank owners with seperate sumps.

    How did you hook up your generator to turn on when a power outage occurs or a breaker is tripped up? I always thought it was manuelly done with a generator?

    Need your input Large tank owners with seperate sumps.

    I'm in northern CA and room temp without the heater is 64 degree's. I have a 50% sps tank and can't risk it. I skimp in in using my heater unless we have to, inorder to compensate on my electrcity bill due to the halides running. I just want a better setup if possible if something did happen. Thanks

    Need your input Large tank owners with seperate sumps.

    I was trying to figure this out and what others are doing. I have my display tank in my living room with the sump refugium in the garage. Like with everyones setup I have everything in the sump heaters, probes, skimmer, top off etc.... My breaker went off in the garage for no apparent reason...

    Mature Tank !!

    1 year. The only reason why I say that is based on corals (which is generally a good indicator). Around my one year mark my sps were having great polyp extension and growth. Nothing changed as far as lighting or water parameters. Just time...

    problem with my zooanthids.

    Sometimes they just want to be closed. I had a colony stay closed for a week for no apparent reason. Then one day they all opened up. So when that happens I look around at my other colonies make sure their okay and shrug it off.
