Why not rinse before putting it in the reactor then you just have to rinse a little, and is cheaper to rinse in freshwater than saltwater, chemi pure is a good product but the GFO makes it really dirty, i rinse mine for about 5 min under running water and later put it in RO/DI water for a few...

Hope it come back, mine felt the other day and i didn't have the time to look for it, and it was about 4 days upside down between some rocks, and when i took it out and put it back to were it was it open in just a few minutes, is one of the nicest corals i have seen.

From other reefers, local and in other places.

Maybe your LFS don't have the conditions for the coral and you do, i get a few ricordea for free from a LFS because they were almost bleached, i told then and they just give then to me, they were gonna lose the money anyway. PS: none of the LFS around here have enought light even for mushrooms.

I have no idea how they look, i have never seen one in person, it seen like i'll have to let it grow a little bit more to see what it is.

Hi I just purchase my first corals, i bought the rock with the ricordea, but i don't know what is this, it looks like a coral it even have mouth that open and close, but i haven't found the name, help with this please:

I purchase mine from this guys: PureWaterClub.com

What thickness is the glass, most of the time bottom trim is just to match upper trim, upper trim is the one that really work bracing the tank, if your glass thickness is 3/8" you should be fine, but if it was designed like that i would replace it for peace of mind, cause 240g of water in your...

This is and interesting link: Aquarium Fish Tank Build Aquariums

It can be done, but i think is to risky.

I think so, but that's the kind of fixture you need, just do a search on amazon a get the one you like the most of those.

You need something like this: Amazon.com: Prime CL050506 Reflector Clamp Lamp with 6-Feet 18/2 SPT-2 Cord, 8.5-Inch: Home Improvement

I think you'll be better with a clamp reflector and a CFL or a CFL flood light (most of then come with the reflector), i don't think that little lamp will last long in a SW environment.

I think i'm gonna start the retrofit, and now that this is the case, what are some good not so expensive ballasts?? preferably that can handle 2,3 or 4 bulbs.

Right now money is kind of an issue, so i'm planning on getting a mid price light fixture, later i'll disarm it, and retrofit my canopy with some upgrades like better reflectors and better bulbs when the time come. But i might do a retro fit from the beginning, that's why i'm asking, cause i'm...

I think i didn't explain myself right, LED's are to expensive yet, i'll put then, but i'll build it slowly that way the expense is in time and not all in front, but in the given time i need to give at least decent light. I will get a 6 bulb 48" fixture or a 4 bulb 60" fixture, if i get the 48"...

i'll build a canopy, i can add more when i need it for those corals and clams or i can put more light just in the area i'll put then, Problem is power bill is high here, so cutting consumption is a must.

Hi I'm planning my first SW tank, it will be a mixed reef, but i'm not planning on keeping difficult corals mosly low light and some med light higher in the tank. The tank will be 60x20x22 and i'll use T5, what would you chose 4x60" T5 320W or 6x48" T5 324W if i get 48" i'l fix then 3 set to...

That's and odyssea fixture, but the last one from your links seen to have individual reflectors instead of 1 for 2 bulbs like the odyssea, i think this is a plus for the light output.

Are any of those better than the odyssea??, cause they all seen like same cheap chinese fixture with different housing. Except for the last one, that seen nice.
