Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I would agree with Mike on the Emperor. I would only add him if you already accept the fact that there is a good chance of losing corals. Not knowing what other fish you have in the 150g makes it hard to suggest what you should get. So, what do you have already?
Great post Sunny!!!! This has been a very trying year for me and my upgrade to the bigger tank. I have looked to many of the member on here....you included for help and everyone has always provided their suggestions with conviction and compassion. One of the things that I like about this club...
I have noticed that for a couple of days a month my duncans will close up or look a little like yours and then I usually see a new head forming. Its possible that you will see another head forming soon. I agree that as long as its eating you are good but def keep an eye on it. I have found...
i am seriously considering switching to mh/t5 but heat is an issue for me. Even during the winter my tanks stays around 77.5 without the heater coming on. My basement stays warm.

i just got the MI-412 after giving up on the hanna ulr. the inconsistoncies were driving me crazy. I really like the new kit....very easy to use, no worries about the meter turning off before all of the reagent disolves and most importantly....consistency. Its expensive but I am very happy...
The one thing that I have learned and Alex will tell you this, is that just because the lights can be run @ 100% intensity doesnt mean you have to. My light consists of 4 leds banks that are 150w each and 4 x 80w t5's. Seems like that as soon as i bring the leds higher than 70% intensity...
they do look interesting but I am confused....they say the 32" fixture is 200w but they also say it has 99 x 3w LEDs which is 297w's. I would love to see one on a tank or a demo video to see how the ramping up and down of the colors is. Nice part with using multiple fixtures on this one is you...
you will probably need three but could start with two and carefully place your corals. As your corals grown you can keep an eye out for another unit to add to it.
since you have t5's on there now, what about looking for some used AI sol's? You can put purple bulbs in the t5's and run the AI's in place of the MH's. If you look at Sunny's tank (Monroereef) he is running that set up and his corals are gorgeous. Something else to consider since a lot of...
stick with mh and t5's. IMO for your budget I dont think you find lights that will give you the coverage and color. If heat wasnt an issue for me I would switch back from led/t5 to mh/t5. Just my .02

oh yes....the cup has a nice tight fit to it thst requires a little tug. Here's how I'm looking at it.....you will still need to clean the neck of the cup at least once a week because it will get dirty fast unless you get the swabbie but even then that needs to be cleaned. If you use the...
how big is the collection cup? Do you have an apex or another controller? If you're worried about it overflowing I would carefully drill a hole in the lid for the cup and get a float switch for it. if you have a controller you can program the float switch to turn off the skimmer when the cup...
