[charliethetuna88]

any one have any amphipod for sale or can spare a few to get me started

What are those? Do they just grow in the tank? Are they like copepod? If I got them and you want some your more than welcome to get some.

nano let me ask u a question i got a 120 gal tank i have 2 175 12ksunburst bulbs and 2 40 watt floresents actinc bulbs i am just staring out adding coral i like softies like colt mushrooms etc i wanna change the floresents to may be vho or pc whatta think im better off with

 

[nanoreefer22]

If I had to choose I would go with the VHO. I got a URI Superactinic bulb hooked up this weekend to run along side my 175 watt 10K XM and I'm very very pleased with the difference it has made. The color of my tank is way better. I would reccomend the VHO, the color is really nice too.

thanks man that was what i was thinking too sould i get 4 atinic or mix them up

 

[Reef Guy]

I would mix them up, that way you get good growth and nice color

 

[charliethetuna88]

like what mix would you use

 

[nanoreefer22]

I would get 2 URI superactinics and 2 daylight(something like a 10K color). This would probably give you a good balance with blue.

If you want really blue go for 3 URI superactinics.

I supplemented my 175 10K XM with one 3ft URI superactinic and it changed the color a lot.

i have these guys all the time. Everytime i go to clean up my overflow prefilter, i get like 10 to 15 big ones, like 3/4 centimeters that squirm around all the time. I'm sure there is plenty of other stuff in there too. If you have live rock with lots of life on them, these will prob grow naturally as well. let me know if you want them. i live in brooklyn.

 

[charliethetuna88]

YAH MAN I WILL TAKE A FEW IF YOU CAN SPARE

 

[charliethetuna88]

NANO THANKS FOR THE INFO I AM GOING TO BUY A SET I FOUND ON R/C FOR 105 WIYH OUT BULBS COMES WITH BALLAST AND 8 WATER PROOF END CAPS INCLUDING SHIPPING IS THAT A OK DEAL WHATTA THINK

 

[nanoreefer22]

Charlie, That does sound like a deal. Then you could get yourself some new bulbs and your set. What kind of ballast?

 

[charliethetuna88]
