Each group of 4 bulbs has a seperate plug so they can be put on seperate timers. It also has moonlight LED's on another plug should you want the moonlight effect.

Here you can see the little LED's running down the centre

Best way to remove coralline algae of glass

Posted: February 17th, 2012, 1:58pm CST by flamming angel

Hey reefers

My buddy recently purchased a tank, but there is so much of coralline algae on the glass that has been dried up. He has tried scraping it of and soaked it with alot of vinegar but no luck. Any suggestions on what he can use?

Skimmers and their rating as of 2012

Posted: February 17th, 2012, 11:21am CST by leslie hempel
Guys i have seen alot of confusion wrt the newer skimmers coming into the market which have conservitive ratings and thus seem inadequate for a system when specifications are concerned,

Eg: a Vertex Alpha 170 is rated for 850lt but we know it can pull substansially more much vs a OCTX200 rated for around 900lt

I wonder how we could form a standard by which a skimmer can be rated, there is alot of speculation with very little fact to back it up.

I would assume the criteria to review woule be but not limited to:
- Operating depth (internal models)
- Pump and airdraw capacity
- sps rating vs softies rating (i like this measurement factor as it gives a greater scope for a skimmer for varying applications/budgets)
I dont want to get too scientific but im trying to simplyfy the whole skimmer purchase for newbies and advanced reefers alike,

It seems the rule of thumb of advising double the capacity skimmer in relation to your system capacity can make a skimmer purchase a seeminly nightmarish outlay amount to anyone in the market.

comments and participation welcome...

1x Magnifica Nennie: R ??? Make me an offer please. I have no idea.

As some may know i bought a mature tank a month ago and this baby makes me nervous as i am relatively new to marine. It turns out he is not so difficult to keep happy but i dont want my tank to revolve around a single specimen.
It is eating well and has not detached from its LR since i have had it.
