I have a 90 gallon tank in my bedroom with 6x54w t5 lighting. The biggest problem for me is that my skimmer is not totally silent (an ap600(, but the noise is not too bad. I definitely like having...

My cylindrica does occasionally seem to shed a layer of skin. I would disagree about it being finicky though - I bought a medium sized piece of LR and put it in my tank during the cycle, and a few...

The pic is a bad pic - the tissue is fine on the undamaged part of the coral, and is a lot darker and more purple.

I have had the coral around a month now, and I am not using an ULNS.

Question Which bulb combination?

Hi,

Calibrating a refractometer

Thanks,

Flobajob.

Is there a standard amount the rhs10atc refractometers are out by? If there is then can you just make an adjustment for that amount it is out, without having to prepare any solution?

The Seio may seem cheap, but it uses a lot (3x) more electricity. In the long run the Tunze will probably work out cheaper.
