    Will Aquatinics T5 support SPS/clams?

    The aquactinics would be better IMO of the T5's since you are looking at keeping clams because the reflectors focus more light to the bottom. The Teks are really good too but I think the aquactinics are a little bit better. Look at the bottom of this thread on rc, there is a comparison of the...

    Anyone used these lights?

    I agree that it seems too good to be true. What kind of ballast does it use? That is reeeeaaally cheap compared to every other T5 fixture. The reflectors seem pretty solid but it is hard to tell from a picture.

    question about "pods"

    You most likely have alot of munnid isopods. Just google image munnid isopod and see if these are the ones you have. I am pretty sure that they are not parasitic like some other isopods. Not all pods are "good". Generally people see isopods as harmful but there are a couple of benificial ones.

    Anemone introduction to DT

    Oh I forgot, just make sure that you keep a close eye on it because it will most definitely move until it finds a good place that it likes. Don't hesitate to intervene if it is putting itself or other corals in a dangerous situation.

    Anemone introduction to DT

    I would temp acclimate and then drip for 2hrs. If your water quality is good it will stay open. Make sure your specific gravity is close to ocean value because most anemone will not tolerate a low specific gravity. What kind of anemone?

    I have seen them for around $199 on the apogee website but that is not very cheap imo. You might be able to get a good discount if you do a group buy.

    what color spectrums best feed corals?

    I believe that 6500k is usually the peak region for par. 10k is pretty close but not as high. Theoretically 6500k will grow algae quicker because it is more red which is mainly what plants use. I would not recommend the 6500k because it has more uva and uvb radiation. The actinic will not do...

    Tang in a 65G

    Because they know that it is not the right thing to do but they do it anyways. It is just selfish. I think to some degree we are all selfish so you should just ask yourself how selfish are you and what are your limits. I don't understand why you need everyone else to give their opinions on...

    Tang in a 65G

    +1. I don't think it has anything to do with people being flexible or inflexible to new ways. I just think that selflessness is an important concept in life.
