Sounds good. Just curious, though, why did you go with two 50 watt jagers as opposed to one 100 watt?

yeh, exactly. I plan on the pc's coming on about 2 to 3 hours before the MH, then having the MH coming on for about 4 to 5 hours, then turning off and finally the pcs turning off about 3 hours later. As far as the corals that are in my tank right now, they havent been under mh's, just the...

Sounds good...keep in mind, though, that an easy mistake to make in a nano is starting off with too much rock, thus not allowing room for new corals that usually come with a small piece of rock attached. It is best to start out with, say, 5 to 6 pounds of small pieces of live rock, and over...

Sounds good. And as far as helping my tankmates adjust to this new light, how would I go about that? I planned on only running this bulbs for 4 to 5 hours a day, is that okay?

I know that this is an old post, but I think I found a good answer for this problem at peteducation.com, a site ran by vets. Take is for what it is worth. "To provide zooxanthellae with the proper wavelengths of light for photosynthesis, different bulbs have been developed to mimic...

Looks great. Seems like you really planned it out well! Nice monti!

Just picked up a 70 watt 14,000k MH retro from Jorge @ illuming.com for $130 shipped! Super happy, it is exactly what I’ve wanted for a while. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.p ... 70370&st=0 I plan on custom making a hanging canopy with the MH in the middle, and my existing two 40...

You guys are nuts!! hahah, ehh. Good work identifying, don tknow how you do it.

Didnt get it.

Nice corals!! I would love one of those ric heads. One of my favorite! ;-) ;-)

Cant add anything to that, but welcome. I agree with Dragon on this one. And feel free to ask about anything you havent been able to find on this site. And feel free to post pics after you get started! With this site, you'll do great.

Some may know that illuming.com owner, Jorge Amador, got hit by hurricane Wilma. As a result, he is selling off all the products that he has left on nano-tank.com. Check it out!! http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.p ... 70370&st=0 I just picked up the 70 watt halide retro kit for $130...

Ive seen the sponge placement. All you have to do is put a sponge on the inside at the bottom of the outlet tube? Maybe ill do that.

I have a 2R on my 16g. Any time i disturb the tank to clean the glass or anything, it causes major bubble mist to come into the tank. Ive read online that this is caused by an imbalance in the water. But I dont think that is the case, unless i stir up the tank. Also, i regularly have a small...

Just curious...are your bulbs hanging over? Arent the 65's 24"? 10g are only 20".

...Glass...because I said so. Hah. Actually, Ive only had glass tanks. Acrylic resists cracks/breaks/leaks a little more than glass does, but obviously it scratches much easier. Acrylic comes in customized shapes/sizes, but nowadays glass is beginning to as well. I have seen someone...

Algae If it isnt spreading or being/becoming a nuissance, I would just leave it. I have tufts of a coarse green algae that are extremely slow-growing and are not at all a nuissance, plus they look pretty cool. Algae is not necessarily bad, unless they become overwhelming.

Sorry to hear it, DJ. Losses like that are hard to take.

I dont know much about geography, but is easter texas close enough? 'cause i know several people here are from houston and such.

awww, schucks. oh well, still, they are nice zoos.
