I had gotten an rbta a few months ago and it started off doing very well. It was colorful and accepted any foods. I then added a maroon clown to host it after the rbta was in for about a month or so. It was a very quick partnership and everyone seemed happy for a couple of weeks. Then the rbta...

I am actually drawing up designs to build my own right now. Anyone know anything about LED series and how to determine if the driver that I have will work, I am afraid that I am putting out too many amps with it.

I want to put new lights on my 29 gal. I just have a fowlr tank now and want to start keeping corals. I was looking at getting a 4 bulb 24 inch t5 that puts out 96 watts. good choice? Just looking at some cheap odysseas for now to get started, any ideas on other budget oriented lights?

I figured out what it was and it is nothing cool, looked at it from a different angle and you can completely ignore this post.

Best I can get it is the white fan looking thing in the middle of the pic. It is in a shadowed area on my rock. let me know if you need something better or more description and I can try

I don't know if I can zoom in far enough, it is very small but I will try.

I was looking in my tank tonight like a spend a lot of time doing everynight and noticed something completely different about some of my rock. One of my live rock chunks has had a few little bright red hunks on it since I have gotten it. They have never changed in like three months and don't...

the fifty worked great on my ten gallon tank as originally designed and would be even better for it with this setup

would that be a better setup with the 50 gallon model running on a 29 gallon tank than the original way that they were designed?

okay thanks for the info, I will wait a little while and make sure everything is going good in the new tank before going to get one.

it definitely was not a molt. it was a dead shrimp. I liked him cause he picked up all the food that my fish let fall to the bottom.

suggestions for a replacement, he did a good job of keeping the sand clean in the tank. Anything that does a better job than him?

yep dead shrimp, already flushed him.

I washed it, really well. I didn't want to leave them in the old tank because as I siphoned the sand out it made the water super cloudy and full of junk. I am hoping that I don't get much of a cycle.

put him in a zip lock bag with old tank water, put him in the new tank in the bag, slowly added some new tank water in every few minutes, waited about 45 minutes, made sure the temps were the same, and then scooped him out and put him in.
