Hi Al, thanks for the reply. I bought a commercial unit mainly due to not having an electronically minded bone in my body :) I think I have two further requirements. One to add some visible light during the day (any links to the fixtures you refer to?). The second is to add some actinic/blue...

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed response. I did research quite a lot about how much lighting to replace my MH's with based on the size of my tank and the corals I do keep and would keep in the future. My question is around visible light and brightness rather than...

That's awesome guys, thanks for the quick ID. I have to be honest, it had me completely stumped, I was reading biology journals on line and all-sorts to try and find it. Should've known to just ask Mack! Thanks again!

As you can see, the soft corals on the left and right have a focused white point of light and the rest is dim. Since installing, there seems to be a green and red cyano outbreak which I've not suffered from in some time, I'm assuming these are low-light loving algaes? Thanks again Lewis

Hi, I've just replaced my arcadia 2*250w metal halides + 2 T5's with: 4 TMC Aquaray 1000HD (2* Reef white, 2*Marine white) and 2 * Reef white Aquaray 600 strips. Not impressed so far is probably an understatement. My metal halides gave a broad spread of yellow to white light with the T5's...

Really weird huh? No idea what it eats although I was going to give him some cyclops or artemia and some nori to see which it has a go at first. Pretty fast though and disappears for days before coming back. Seems diurnal but who really knows. I've only seen the video so far, if I see it in the...

A friend of mine has a fluval edge nano tank which pretty much has a fish and some liverock with a couple of small corals. Nothing new has been added since I gave him some xenia months ago. He now has this: YouTube - ‪What the hell is this??‬‏ Not something I've ever seen before. Any...

You know my mrs too?:ignore:

It'll clear or settle. Equally, it's early in the tank life - just do a few water changes (or two big ones). I wouldn't overly worry at all. :welcomera

Haven't you only just got a Betta a couple of days ago? I'd be waiting a while and then seriously considering whther you can cater for the animals you're contemplating.. Just my 2p/cents (woo internationally compliant)

I have one, depends why you want it I guess?!

April fools day is only until midday, after which - the person who has played the prank is "the fool". I'm going by the board times ;) My understanding is that the US doesn't play by the proper rules and the jokes last all day (?), pah! :)

might be a little late.. this thread is from last year
