I am looking for an inexpensive online supplier. My Hamilton Ballast just went down. I need to replace the ballast but cant find any reasonably priced in my hometown. Model - 71A5880 Advance - M-80 250 Watt Ballast Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

i will check the alk tonight. i gather that yall dont think the 250w 6500k Iwasaki and changing my 250watt 10000k HQI bulb to the new 20000k HQI bulb is a good move. i dont want to mislead you. i am having growth from my monitipora caps and the other acros. i just dont have amazing growth. i...

thanks for your input thus far. after further consideration, i think i have settled on adding a 250w 6500k Iwasaki and changing my 250watt 10000k HQI bulb to the new 20000k HQI bulb. The heat from a 400watt bulb maybe create additional problems that i want to avoid. now i have to figure out...

havent tested cal / alk but after adding the reactor my tank has exploded with coraline. so much coraline that i have to scrap the front glass to keep it clean and after not scrapping the side glasses they have been totally covered. i resently gave in and scrapped the side glasses to see how...

i am also considering adding a 400w 6500k Iwasaki and changing my 250watt 10000k HQI bulb to the new 20000k HQI bulb. The reported high blue of the 20000k HQI should mix nicely to correct the reported yellow in the iwasaki 6500k. does this combination offer the best results?

all parameters are within acceptable limits: no detectable nitrates, nitrites ph 8.3 temp 82

At present I have a 250 watt HQI on my 90 gallon corner unit. I also have a dual chamber calcium reactor, however I am only experiencing moderate growth with my SPS. I have 4 different montipora caps (green, green purple rim, red, orange) with a few other acros. These monitporas are rumored to...

Who makes 250 watt 20,000°K Double Ended (HQI) bulbs? Maybe I havent looked hard enough but I cant seem to find anyone carrying them. I have seen 150 / 400 watt versions but not the 250 watt.

My Reef Creations Nano Reactor = 160 + Shipping. Korallin Reactor - friend will sell me his used version for 200. Geo Reactor - stop counting pennies and get this one? 225 + shipping? This reactor will run a 90 Corner hard coral tank. I would like to focus on Monti Cap.

esmithiii, thank you for the info. I now have hope that my specimen will recover. I also believe that my specimen is a montipora rather than a acropora as sold to me. It is amazing how your frag looked almost exactly like mine looks now. How long did u take to move it to a higher light...

No further whitening is noted. The areas that are white are not bleached. The tissue has died completely. The Coral has stabalized and seems to be doing fine now. Further note: I do dose Kalk with Ro replacement water.

pH - 8.4 on one test kit / 8.3 on another test kit alk - no test Ca - test is inaccurate NH4 - 0ppm mg/l NO2 - 0ppm mg/l NO3 - 0ppm mg/l

Yes, 250watt MH Very low lighting. I think vho or very very old MH bulbs. It was in the sellout tank. They just them in that day so I thought, after the fact, that i should not have acclimated it more slowly. I was also thinking the same thing myself. I will frag the whitened tip off and...

This what the frag looks like today. When I got it 5 days ago it had no whiting. The LFS recommended that I place it at the highest point in the tank. I placed it as suggested only about 1 inch low the water level. Two days later the frag started to whiten. I then thought to move it to a lower...
