Not sure what led's your using but to be honest most LFS will have some sort of true actinic lighting (420nm) which you have in the 50/50 tube, this is the lighting that will fluoresce the colours in the fish so really you need a single t5 dedicated to blue and one for white if all your trying...

Short answer is no its not too big to start with, irregardless what size system you go with just take it slow and you'll be fine What Kyle is trying to say is the higher the water volume the more diluted the pollutants/toxins will be buying you time to take correct action, makeing it easier to...

Jcabs would be worth looking at the MARC section of the forum see MARC

Was purely this reason that I went for cheato instead, as far as I could work out there was no great difference between the 2. From what I understand there is nothing you can do to stop it going asexual but TBH its not my strongest subject so would be good to hear from someone else that can...

Vodka is best drunk not dosed :hyper:

Try we do and it seems we get closer with every new bit of tech that comes out, the latest being plasma light def worth a look if you get a chance either on YouTube or just a net search it's impressive stuff and is where Led 's were about 5-6 years ago in terms of being developed for normal...

Ainsy don't get me wrong I'm not a fan of dosing vodka and I certainly wouldn't tell anyone to try it skimmer less, the only reason I mention it is because I'm nearing the life end of my fuge MM and lots of people advise to dose vodka or carbon to feed the MM rather than replace it, tbh though I...

Ladyj apologies I read that as dont use vodka use a skimmer instead. :blush: Ainsy not that I think vodka dosing is good but you can dose without a skimmer (admitted not advisable) but In An Eco system the miracle mud will actually benefit from the bound nitrates and phosphates in effect...

Vodka is dosed to reduce nitrates and phosphates which are big contributes to algae hence its commonly used to control algae, which is what the original post was referring to Vodka is dosed to reduce nitrates and phosphates which are big contributes to algae hence its commonly used to control...

Strictly speaking a skimmer is not going to sort your problems, it will help to extend the frequency of water changes but ultimately it won't stop algae on its own, algae need light & phosphate or silicate so to reduce algae look at Lighiting cycle feeding regime (not applicable to this...

Ok have got to ask if your talking about pachyclavularia or Xenia? Pet hate of mine that it gets called xenia when it's in fact green star polyps or pachyclavularia?

It's entirely possible to do a reef setup in a 35g (is that US gallons or imperial gallons) if your going to go down the SW route you could always add a sump or refugium to up the litres which will help. The real problem is keeping the water parameters stable, so the bigger the system the...

Both are good for RO units and spares :good:

Not entirely sure where youve been looking but see this link to RO-man

:lol: trust me to not get it! From personal experience I don't know of anything that cheap other than kent marine that's even worth contemplating!
