You should see their face when you ask for 3 clams to feed your pet octopus. :D B

£80 comes to nearly $160....From what I can see from other sites selling t5-HO 24" retro setups you're getting a pretty good deal with this fixture. In fact you're getting it for nearly half what they're going for on ebay. What type of green algae are you trying to grow? As far as I know...

It depends on how much it is, and if arcadia is a well known/respected brand in the UK. I've never heard of them, but then I'd never heard of the company that makes your substrate either. If you decide to get one of these go with the t-5 high output model of course, and I'd go with the 4...

I've noticed that you describe your lighting as m/v. Is this mercury vapor? Is this analagous to metal halide? The reason I ask is mercury vapor in the states isn't the same thing as metal halide, and MV can't be used effectively as an aquarium light, at least not for coral growth. The...

What size length/wattage are your lamps? Mike and I were discussing t-5's awhile back. I believe the ones in your tank are the normal t-5 variety, not the HO ones, which most folks doing marine tanks use. However the HO version only comes in longer bulbs. Mike was getting good results with...

I like the way you think. :mrgreen: B

Why can't you just replace one of the bulbs with a blue/actinic t-5? B

Supposedly the icecap fans are more durable as they're specifically made for this application. They're really pricy though. I bought six 3" fans, 2 converters, and wiring connectors for about $60. Here's a link to the icecap ones....They have the temp probe which is nice...

Yep...I've got several others that are similar, but may not quite qualify as trip-hop. Genre boundaries seem somewhat fluid, and arbitrary to me. There's probably some distinction that I'm ignorant of . Others that I think are close. Lamb Wild Strawberries Portishead Moloko B

I just used the lime juice that comes in the little plastic squeezy limes from the grocery store. I already had it for adding to my tecates. :wink: B

LMAO!!!! I just haven't had time to shoot much the last few nights. I'm hoping to remedy that this evening. Ummm.. No clasical though. Trance, or trip-hop most likely. B

Lets see....I got them at Planet Fish. The pair was $35. Yes they came out of a display tank. They originally weren't in a display tank, but my nano wasn't really ready for them, since I didn't have the auto top off system in place yet. By the time that I got the top off set up, they were in...

Re: Okay, the little thing must die... Medical supply, or in our case a friend that works in vet hospital. SM got hers from her vet as well. B

That's pretty cool. Nice to get a bit of recognition when you help them to design a great setup like that. B

Heres a few crappy pics of my two new additions to the work nano. I didn't have time after installing the new auto-top off and acclimating them to bother getting good shots, but I'm sure I'll get some in the future. When I saw the nearly identical mis-bars on this pair I had to have them...

Sounds good...Pics?

Interesting. I haven't seen it at any of the LFS here in town, and I haven't looked into ordering substrate online. I looked at the pics and it says arragonite on it, so it's probably good stuff. B

I haven't heard of underworld. I would make sure that it's pure arragonite. Some of the companies don't use pure arragonite sand/crushed coral, which means that you're starting your tank off by putting silicates in your tank, which can lead to diatom/algae issues later. On the live sand...

Here's a very cheap 175w MH setup that would work great for that tank, and you could actually try propagating some SPS. http://www.maast.org/index.php?name=PNp ... pic&t=9177
