Adding 2 more 250w MH
Posted: April 29th, 2008, 9:01pm CDT by Wizard
Hope someone can shed some light on this for me...... sorry that was unnecesary. I have 2 250w 14k BLV's running on a 2m tank about 50cm above the water. i have the the fittings and ballasts in the lighting hood for another 2 mhs. i raised the hood to its current height in preperation for the extra 2 250w mhs. my only concern is that i almost lost a few lps ( false brains, candy cane ) and one or two other colonies when i upgraded from 2 150 ventures to the 250w blvs. there seems to be enough light and everyone is quite happy so the extra lighting is more for asthetics than anything else. would putting 20k blvs (would look awesome) cause less stress ie light shock than say putting another 2 14k blvs. -

Product Review: Lighting for Reef Aquaria: Tips on Taking Light Measurements
Posted: April 29th, 2008, 11:43am CDT by Warr7207
This is a really interesting article concerning lighting.
QUOTE:
"Although we generally think of corals as originating from brightly lighted natural reefs and naturally assume corals need lots of light, the truth is that most corals require relatively little in order to thrive. For example, the 'Fox' coral (Nemezophyllia sp.) does quite well in low light. Thriving specimens have been noted in as little light as 35 µMol·m²·sec! On the other hand, an Acropora specimen (commonly called the 'Purple Monster') displayed magnificent coloration in the highest light intensity I have ever measured in an aquarium - almost 900 µMol·m²·sec (later research reveal that this coral photo-saturates at 300-400 µMol·m²·sec. I was wasting a lot of light and money!). Most corals will grow quite well in light intensities of 200-300 µMol·m²·sec."

My one cleaner shrimp has developed some black markings on his body. Doesn't seem to affect him at all though. What could this be? -
130L Tank, need more flow - your advice?
Posted: April 29th, 2008, 9:45am CDT by matt165
130L, need more flow in it. was thinking possibly 2 x Tunze 6025's?
Don't want anything too big as it will stand out a lot in a nano.
What else would you advise? -
Fragging ricordia just as hardy as other mushies?
Posted: April 29th, 2008, 9:09am CDT by matt165
I've easily fragged mushrooms in the past. Now I want to frag my ricordia, just a bit scared as he was expensive! ;) Is a ricordia as tough as most other mushies?
