Johnny, The hood is rated at 9watt capacity per bulb/ballast, so if you stick in two bulbs that are 13 watts it might not fire up, or will possibly burn out. I remember someone talking about that before. The best bet is to get correct rated balast for the bulb wattage. Otherwise you are...

I disabled it and used the guts of the light to create my refugium light in my back filtration. Mike

Can you give me more info on your undergravel heater? How is it being regulated temp wise? Where did you pick it up? Thanks, Mike

Need some help picking up a heater for this tank. During the day I know I'll be fine with the lights giving off heat. But how about in the night? I saw this mini heater at Dr. Fosters: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... =2004+2020 Can anyone steer me in the right direction, I...

Hey Reefers, I've started a documentary on my pico just like I did for my 12 gallon DX cube. I'm going to be running this tank in my office at work. I just couldn't resist when I finally found a pico tank that fits my Coralife hood. The aquarium is glass and I believe it's smaller than...

Sorry to hear about your candy canes. I have owned many candy cane corals in my time and have had good results. They can take a lot of abuse, such as bumping them and having them fall to the sand bed etc. I noticed that as I brought my candy canes to the surface of the tank closer to the...

Sorry about the sand bed reefers, but I just bought 6 small nassirius sails and dropped them in. It is going to take a little more time. If I clean the sand bed, the next day the diatoms are there. My live sand is cycling, everything else is cycled. So I thought I'd share the live rock...

Rbaby, I'd like to know are those macro pics tanken with a Canon S500 ???? If so, can you give me the settings !!!!!!!!!!! I have a Canon S500 and cannot even come close to those pics, I need to know those settings !!!!!!!! Thanks, mike

I thought I'd share two more pics. I purchased some red macro algae that my LFS fragged for me. Also got two sets of button polyps, one is pink variety and the other is orange skirt. Enjoy... Mike

Just voted again, we are at 41..... Mike

You can certainly place many types of LPS corals without a doubt. These include plates, frog spawns, hammers, candy canes, just make sure you get small frags since they expand and will sting each other. With SPS you should have just a little more light, maybe up to 92 watts and you should...

Holy Guacamole, Thats a bumping tank,,, talk about long,,, love this reef,,, hope to have something like this when I own a home... My condo is just too small,,, can only have nanos :) Mike

Yo Dragon, I'm very impressed with you documenting the 6 gallon cube. There is hardly anyone out there with a 6 gallon cube that has shared pics. I think it's very important to let everyone know that you are working with a cycled reef tank. So I'm glad you stated that in your post...

Dave, Does the current usa 36 watt fit your tank? How about if we purchase the stilts for it? Here are the dimensions of the light: the one i saw: (36 watts) 12"L x 7.25W x 2.5" H Mike

Dave, Will this light by current USA work on your tank? the one i saw: (36 watts) 12"L x 7.25W x 2.5" H I saw that the one you have is the 18 watt and it's 13 inchs as opposed to this one, can you shed some light my way? There are even some stilts you can purchase to raise it...

Are you getting the yellow pair of gobies or the green stripped pair? Mike

Hi Mikhail, Thanks for the kind words, and just to let you know, I would normally not offer Conan to anyone. The reason I would offer Conan, is that Icysor is really big on this board. What do I mean by that? Simple he's kinda of like our resident Doctor on the site. If we ever have a...

Talk about rare fish.... Mike

Incysor, I read your response to the Yellow gumdrop. And will agree that they are tough fish to keep, regarding the eating. I lost my first one to ick, my fault and the second one I have is super hardy, took him over 2 months before he started eating flakes. He had depleted the...

Hey DJ, Actually you made me laugh that you remember that my wife does the ziplock technique. She did that for me today, again, becuase my temps were 84.9 when she got home from work. She said, you are lucky I came home early and since she always feeds my fish she saw the temps high and...
