Hey Hahn - do you have the actual PAR figures? I'd love to see the numbers rather than the percentages - how much brighter is the LB at its hot spot than the LA? Is it really brighter at all?

Being the owner of a couple of lumenbright reflectors (large and mini) and a light rail, my deciding factor over the LA's was the shape. With a square LA and a relatively enclosed space, there was a...

Glass braces and Halides

How much heat can a 1/2" tank cross-brace withstand? I have a 400 on a light mover that by necessity needs to be pretty close to the braces (maybe 4"). As long as the mover is moving, the braces...

Trouble is I'm not sure it would look that good. Personally, I am running a single 400 over my 180, but it needs a couple of T5's to give the rest of the tank some light when the mover isn't there,...

New LumenBright Reflector

I picked up a new lumen bright reflector this week, but I underestimated the size of the thing, so I now have a spare lumen bright reflector if anyone is interested. Pictures can be found here:

I just ordered one for my 180/lightrail setup (here's hoping I can find a good way of mounting it to the mover) to replace my RO2 retro reflector. I would imagine that if it is 16.5% better than the...

Frankly for my next tank I may do the same and just run a remote bed. I wanted to do jawfish in this one, but they haven't done so well and 700lbs of sand is hard to manage in a high flow tank.

What he said. I bought 700lbs of sand at less than $5 for 50lbs (so $70 give or take). Let's say I bought the caribsea oolitic reef select sand (pretty close if not identical to what comes out of a...

I bought 700lbs of it back when they started replacing it with the silica stuff, but a deep sandbed in a 180 used pretty much all of it.

OK - what the hell? This is a 180 gallon tank, I don't have that many hermits, and I see no obvious tissue damage or necrosis. So what the hell? These are all hermits that came in from ipsf a few...

Mine is under a couple of T5's and a 400W 10K par monster on a light rail. It gets low light, medium light, HIGH LIGHT, medium light, low light, so I'm not even sure how to describe it. It has...

Yes. I use a LR3.5 on a 6' tank. I have a single 400W bulb in a RO2 retrofit (deliberately to spill a little light, although I have seriously considered a lumenmax lately). I ran it for a while on...

I have raised it by ~75 in the last 7 days - "dumping 2 litres of B-ionic in the tank" was a literary flourish rather than an actual intention.

Is it the salt, or the test kit?

I've been playing with low alk/low mg/high CA in my tank for a few weeks now, and have been taking various steps to remedy the situation with some success. I figured a 20% water change wouldn't hurt...

I have 7 vantecs mounted in my hood in various places. They are about as silent as you can get, and all of them running at the same time make a fraction of the noise of a single Eheim 1250, which...

Pink Birdsnest locally

I've also been looking for some pink birdsnest (Seriatopora histrix I believe) locally. Anyone have / seen some? I have nothing to trade right now, but I will happily pay.

Stick a flat screwdriver blade in and twist, slowly working it off the pins. You will probably need to work each side out a little.
