Acclimating fish and coral to any light changes probably wouldn't be a bad idea. From what I have gathered, unless you perfectly replicate the lunar cycle and vary the intensity of your lunar lights, you won't see much difference in their behavior. You can say that the jury is still out on...

possibly a mating ritual...you might want to research it a bit more with google

PowerCompacts (PC's) can adequately reach a depth of about 2 ft. Anything over that then you need to get into Metal Halides (MHs's) or T5's. Everything else I agree with Jesse.

Do you test for the chemicals that you are adding? You might be overdosing if you aren't testing for them. how long has your tank been up and running?

It's really all personal tastes. A 6" taller tank isn't going to out perform a smaller tank. Not having the extra 6" isn't going to limit you on what coral you can have. It just boils down to personal tastes. The taller tank does allow you to arrange rock a bit taller but other than that no...

Not only that but it sucks to have to clean them all the time. You will get salt creep on them like none other.

I called my LFS today and they have base rock for $2.19/lb so I will be going that route. Thanks for the input everyone

I have used tap before and didn't have any major issues, though I did run carbon and phosguard 24/7. My tank did eventually collapse but I won't contribute that to the water. Damn watchman goby...i blame him mostly. My thoughts on RO water is that reef tanks have been around for ages. RO...

Watts = Current x Voltage Current = Watts/Voltage Voltage = Watts/Current Current = 110watt heater/110vac Current = 1amp

Depends on what kind of fish you get. There are some that are more prone to jumping than others. You can still get a glass cover if you are worried about it.

I just came across this site called talkingreef.com I found it in the podcast directory in i-tunes. It's a talk show 30mins-60mins long that covers different topics. I've only heard a few of them and they are very interesting. They have their mp3's on download at...

If you like IE7 then you should use the browser (that actually works) that MS ripped off. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ oh and btw, no i don't use it :D

anything for a buck i guess :shock: it's amazing that they will tell you anything to make some money
