    My new LED light kit

    I got them from my LFS, but he doesn't normally carry them. He got them from a friend who bought them at costco, and I've also seen them online at different lighting stores and on ebay. If you search for a Cyron 6 pack LED light kit I'm sure you can find them easily online. Heres one on ebay...

    My new LED light kit

    I've decided to only run 2 of the 4 light bars tonight and I'm getting about the same effect, just a little less light which I'm sure is better for the corals. I think I'm gonna keep it that way from now on. Unfortunately my camera doesn't capture the colors I can see right now with the setting...

    My new LED light kit

    Heres a pic of the light bars that I fit into the hood, and then the controller. When I said I could kind of control the wattage, it's because I can run anywhere from 1-4 light bars at a time. Right now I'm using all 4 in the hood (the top one got cut off in the pic) although the back 2 light...

    My new LED light kit

    I got this Cyron LED kit for $50 and am going to use it as a lunar light in the blue color, but I thought it would be cool to show what the tank looked like in the other colors too. It also came with 2 extra LED bars that I didn't want to put in the hood so I stuck them behind the stand to...

    AquaC Remora Skimmer Question

    Thank you for the link, don't know why I never thought to search for that..I had been cleaning it out as they described, just not as often as they say to. I just cleaned it all out and I'll try to do it every other day or so now. Thanks again!

    AquaC Remora Skimmer Question

    I've had an AquaC Remora HOB skimmer for 2-3 months now and everyday I used to dump about an 1 1/2 inches of water out of the collection chamber on top but for the last week now it hasn't picked up anything in the top chamber at all. I'm still feeding like I normally do and the pump and...

    Dying Starfish?

    I kinda thought he might of been starving because I feel like he was a little bigger when I got him. Right before I left out of town, I noticed another one of his legs were starting to rot away so I put him on a rock in an awkward position to see if he would move and he didn't move at all for...

    Dying Starfish?

    Well I'm getting ready to leave town for the night and I don't want this guy to die while I'm out so I guess I'll be taking him back to the lfs before I leave. Thanks for the info.

    Dying Starfish?

    I've had this starfish for about a year and a half and today I found him like this. He's been living with all the same crabs, fish and other animals with no one attacking him that I've seen. I don't know how he hurt his leg but I'm wondering if he will recover or should I get rid of him before...

    Nano Rehab Project

    Well I finally got the tank yesterday. I'm bummed that I was in such a rush to get it all cleaned out because I completely forgot to take some "before" pictures to show how nasty that thing was. I had to scrap the old sand bed, there was just way too much crap in it. After adding the new...

    Sick Fish?

    Well I just wanted to update this and say that over the past 2 weeks I've been soaking the frozen mysis in GVH fish food soak and the goby seems to have fully recovered. I'm also mixing in some flake food every once and a while but the fish seem to mainly like the mysis soaked in the garlic...

    Nano Rehab Project

    Thanks for all the advice, I still haven't picked up the tank yet but should probably be getting it this weekend. I'll keep the sand and rock and just clean everything up real nice and see where I can get.

    Nano Rehab Project

    I have a friend (who was actually the one who got me started with this hobby about 2 years ago), who has a 12 gallon nano thats he's going to give me. The tank has completely taken a dump over the past six months and he let everything in it die and has not done anything about it. The pumps are...

    Sick Fish?

    I have never had a fish with this problem in the past 2 years I've had this aquarium, but from what I've read on this forum I believe this fish might have ick? A few days ago I noticed the top fin looked like it had a small hole in it, then today I noticed the bottom one had it as well. Started...

    API Saltwater&Reef Test Chart

    I definitely agree with Amphiprion, but if you need to do any tests in the mean time these will give you a rough idea of where your perameters are at, but I wouldn't rely 100% on these shades because holding the original cards up to the screen and comparing them to the pic they were very...
