was just thinking, it would be 1) cheapper 2) low watt usage 3) less heat. I was looking at the K rating and the lumens emmited by these and it is within what is used in the MH bulbs. now the UV exposure, that's something I haven't consider. Like the MH bulbs, these are used for street lighting...

Have anyone here tried to use HID Bulbs that is used for automotive headlights? I plan to get a 10000k HID bulb. This I understand has a very high lumens rating and a very low watt usage,(35 watts). what do you guys think?

very helpful! thanks

thanks for the info, its the blue colored Crocea Clam , actually it died last night, maybe not enough light? I use 1 10K flourecent with 1 20k flourecent and another t-5 10k light with a total watts of 60w. tank height is around 12 inches only. I was thinking of supplementing it with Brine...

this same thing happened to me when I was starting to cycle out my new tank. I had to turn off the powerhead that brings the water to the aquarium, my aquarium started to smell like pee the following morning. I turned the flow back on, poured alot of the sera ammovec biostarter stuff. After 3...

thanks! but I notice air bubbles in the filter as time pass is that the byproduct of the nitrate bacteria converting it to gas?

I got an internal filter that has a foam sponge inside. its great because it filters small particles out of the water. After around a month, the yellow foam turns to gray / brown bec. of the stuff collected. Is this a "nitrate factory?" I noticed that airpockets appears inside the foam( I assume...
