  2. SE or DE?

    I have an PFO dual HQI ballast (250W) and run one DE bulb on the left side in a pendent and one SE bulb on the right side in a reflector. I don't really think the DE is necessary based on my results of coral growth and coloration. Both sides grow and look great these days. Since things are...
  3. Electrical Reqirements for a reef tank?

    I have a 75 gallon reef with daul 250W MHs and 330W of VHO actinics. Also I run a few pumps, refugium lights and fans. I had all hooked up initially to one circuit, but the breaker would definately blow. So I put all of my lighting onto high current extension cord and plugged it into an...

  5. New Pictures to Share

    Reefland - I didn't use any special lens on the G2, nor did I use a tripod, all by hand. I could really use a tripod though, that would come in handy for sure. Sue - Thanks for the compliments. Yes, that particular acro is a very nice one and a good sized one at that :) _________________...

    Yes, I do have a few mushrooms in there that was on the rocks. They lights tend to keep them at bay for the most part, so they aren't a nuisance ... YET ... laugh _________________ Ferrari Daytona

  10. Seattle Area Only - Chalk Basslets Need a Home

    In an effort to reduce the fish load in my tank, I have another two fish that need a home. They are both Chalk Basslets. One is approximately 1.5" long and the other around 2" long. Great fish in the reef tank. I have 5 of them and was able to catch 2 of them. I will keep the remaining 3...
  11. How much is this Monti Cap worth?

    Louey The $50-$75 range was actually the range I was thinking about too. My original thought though was $5/lb just for the rock piece which alone at a store would be about $30 ... So another $50 on top of that for the massive coral colony ... those were my thoughts. Thanks for the input...
  12. Seattle Area Only - Coral Trimming

    Where are you located Seahawk? I did give most of the coral trimmings away yesterday that I am going to trim up. I am seriously considering selling a large Montipora Capricornus soon, 9" x 9" piece. But other than that I am sure I can always cut a piece of digitata, or pocillapora. I am sure...
  13. How much is this Monti Cap worth?

    Okay guys ... I am thinking about removing this large Montipora Capricornus from my tank in the near future. I am trying to get an idea of what it is worth to either sell to someone locally or to get some store credit :D It is a morph of two varieties, the back part being a branching and...
  14. Seattle Area Only - Coral Trimming

    The pink one is a form of a bird's nest. Very neat piece of coral. Has grown very dense in my tank. Awesome pink coloration. The orange next to it is an orange montiopora digitata. I use a Korallin Calcium Reactor for calcium supplementation. My lighting consists of two 250W Aqualine...
