Thanks Tom and Nick. There really is no great "rare" corals in my tank. Most of the corals that I have are from members on this site. The colors are a result of a wicked powerful skimmer and the right photoperiod + nutrient level.

rich's tank = kick ass, i need some teachings from you one day.

btw rich i got a real VHO ballast but it doesnt seem to make much diffrence with the VHO ballast.

Hey Rich,
Whatd u end up doing w/ those mag pumps?
I got a mag 9.5 running my return and youve got me trippin' Im scared, I feel like I make believe I see sh!t...

I have a miyagi colony that STN from the bottom up very slowly, I ended up taking it and moving it to more flow and its been good, but then my Gomezi's been losing skin for having flow directed at it, it wasnt that delicate before :bigeyes2:

Andres, its a cursed. I think you have been touch, lol. Time to do some dirty work on your pump.. Replace the screws and start feeling safe for a while, at least

I know it was you, hex you back!
Lol....I actually had a nightmare about it...honest. I feel like a weirdo having intense dreams about my aquarium.

I think the aqurium is mind controlling you :sgrin: :sgrin: Did you place the reef tank in your room? That could have explained it. I think its trying to tell you something..lol

 

[jackson6745]

Dave, how many VHO's are you running?

Andres you should get that colony out of your tank and into somone else's for a short while. I have my mag pump in my closet, I'll end up using it for a bait pump for fishing.

 

[spykes]

rich i am running two VHOs

 

[jackson6745]

Maybe consider changing your halide if you're not happy with the color of you tank.

 

[spykes]

i changed it to a older 10K hamilton, i like the color of that so far, but it's so old i dont know if i would like it, the coralvue reeflux kinda died on me yesterday, hamilton and ushio are my next choices.

 

[jackson6745]

The Ushio is a good trusted bulb

 

[spykes]

arent they the same as hamilton?

 

[jackson6745]

not the same but both 10k's are good bulbs.

what happen to the reeflux? I was looking forward to that bulb in the future.

 

[spykes]

didnt turn on yesterday and today, the ballast was just charging up not igniting

 

[ctxmonitor]

but it did work with another bulb? But I heard you like the bulb so far, right? You using it on a IC ballast? Did both of them went out or just one?
