I struggle to understand how/why a bulb listed as 14 K, for example, can be more on the blue side or white side depending on the manufacturer. I thought Kelvin was supposed to be a universal measurement. Can both a white and blue bulb truly be 14 K. What am I missing?

I link this link for some of the more common good and bad hitchhikers. Thought I would share http://www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htm

So I have floated the idea of an upgrade to the wife, and suprisingly it was received fairly well. That said, I am a planner, so this is not going to happen too soon. Wanted to see what sizes people have found to be best. My one concern is depth of tank. Prefer less than 24", but can be a...

I have heard about the dreaded cuke nuc, but do not know anyone who has actually had this occur. How big is the risk? Tiger Tail a good cuc?

I have two Xenia right next to each other. They split. One for the last couple of days has now shrunk down (typically I see this at night only, but it has been full time for a couple of days) The other is doing perfectly well. Any ideas on the cause of this? And yes that is one of my clowns...

I have a couple of new life forms that have shown up in my tank. I suspect they hitched a ride on the last piece of live rock I added. Any help is appreciated. Clear with tentacles. 3 Clear tubes. Sorry for the blurry, but they are small and my camera does not do well with extreme close ups.

I have a 150 W MH with 4 T5 HO (2 on each side of the MH). I currently have a 10 K on the MH and 420 NM and 460 NM for the T5's. Once the MH kicks on, I find the tank is too white. Any thoughts on good combos with MH and T5s?

I wanted to check on the lighting and flow others are using for Chalice's, Monti's, and Birdsnests. This is my current understanding. I am looking for the best coloration and health. Chalice: Medium Light and Medium Flow - About Mid tank if using MH lighting. Birdsnest: Medium to High...

Just thought it worth mentioning that premium aquatics is a great store with great customer service. I know a lot of reefers on the site already know this, but I always think it is important to support our good stores/sites. http://www.premiumaquatics.com/

I believe I have a Whelk, but now I am not sure where it is. I will look for it again tonight, because I want it out quick. Any known ways to lure these out?

Has anyone kept clown gobies with SPS? How big of a risk are they?

Does anyone have an Orange Linkia, or any Linkia for that matter. How is it doing? Any issues with it?

I am currently experiencing a slow leak in my water heater. I have a Bradford White water heater Model MIITW40S5CN10. The leak is not coming from underneath as I would have expected with a leak, but between the seam separating the motor blower section of the how water heater (top) and the main...

I have looked at several controllers online and I must say I do not understand the boasts that they can expand and support a hundred probes. Now I get that someone may have a few tanks, but a hundred probes? I have seen probes primarily for PH Temp ORP Salinity are there any other...

Has anyone in the club collected inverts or fish in the SJ area? Where have you had success? What did you find? What did you use?

One of my SPS was knocked onto a second SPS, presumably by one of my snails. The chemical warefare ensued, and one of the SPS had done some significant damage before I intervened. I now have an SPS half of which looks whitish, and appears to have recedded polyps. The other half, appears ok...

I have been cycling a new piece of live rock for a little over a week with 100% water changes daily. Currently the Ammonia is registering .3 ppm. When is it safe to add to the DT? The rock is not passing the smell test at this point.
