Nw I dont know what to believe. I *thought* I had read that on a Scripps site, but know I cant find the data. What you were told by that guy sounds good because that is the same way UCSB does it too. As far as the various tests, because I dont use synthetic salts nor have I personally...

Sweet! Too bad they didnt last long. Good treat for your other inhabitants though! Jesse

Becuase unfortunatly those are the sizes they make them it. A 24" Fixture works great on a 20L though. Thats what I have on mine. Jesse

I think Conciencious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner is a good all-around book. It is my textbook in my Marine Aquarium class I am in right now. Jesse

Yes, we definitely have a great assortment of colors out here! It's not that IO isnt good or anything... every salt has it's sttrengths and weaknesses. It's just that IO is looked at by some to be a great salt for FO or FOWLR tanks and a better choice for reef tanks would be Reef Crystals...

CAn you get me a pic of your sump please... it shouldnt be too hard. Jesse

Happy early B-day Kidnano! Happy b-day Jay! :birthday: Jesse

Hope you dont mind... I deleted your double post. Your tank looks awesome! Keep an eye on that tulip anemone in the pic with the xenia... they can spread and get outta control! HAve you considered making your sandbed deeper? It would serve a couple purposes... it would create an area or...

OC Aquatics on huntington beach will be one of the best places to get frags. A couple guys from n-r.com took over the store not too long ago and they are just about done revamping it. They are already a great place but will be even better soon. They have 3-4 large frag tanks, great specimens...

SOrry, I meant $0.65/gallon! lol Synthetic just means that it is made in a lab. Dont get me wrong, I used catalina water for a long time with no ill effects. I just started using the Scripps water a month or so back and am seeing some good results. Jesse

I answered in your other thread. :-) Jesse

the nanocube stand is 1 1/2" narrower and 3" deeper that the aquapod. You could cut and paint a piece of plywood to fit the size of your aquapod and screw it to the top of the nanocube stand. Jesse

Scripps all the way. IO hasnt done to well in recent evaluations and Catalina water is drawn from Long Beach harbor from what I understand. Scripps has scientifically devolped a specialized synthetic salt mixed with RO/DI water. I get my Scripps water from Window to the Sea in Tustin for...

Welcome back John. Wish we knew what happened. Jesse

Yep. The only thing with the Nova is the lack of individual reflectors... without those, T5s are less effective. Sunlight Supply makes a Tek fixture that is a fully assembled and ready to hang or you can get legs that allow you to sit it on top of the tank. You will save monye of replacing...

Yeah, the thing is the size of a tennis ball. The magnetic mount is almost worth the $60 price tag too. You can mount it ANYWHERE and direct it ANYWHERE. I am still trying to find a way to incorporate it into my system. My LFS has one in a 29g and it is silent and really pushes some water...

I would go for T5Hos. I had the 150 watt on my 20L and it is super intense in the center and the intensity drops drastically towards the ends. The T5's will distribute thier intensity very well over the whole length of the tank. Try to keep an eye out. People occasionally sell their...

It's johnanddawn, but somehow or another his account has been deleted. We are working on getting him back up.... hopefully sooner than later! Jesse

Just a powerhead and it cant be used on a controller. One would probably do for a 20L frag tank. Jesse

YOu would need the 150 watter. THe 70 watters are just very inefficient and the PAR is low. Plus you will have a HUGE selection of lamps compared to the 70 watter. Jesse
