The Kelvin value is the colour temperature of the bulb and has nothing to do with the intensity It all depends on your preference: 6500K Yellow, High PAR, More growth of corals 10000K Cool White, Medium PAR, Resonable growth of corals 12000K Cooler White, Lesser PAR, Lesser Growth 14000K Bluish White, Lesser PAR, Lesser Growth, Colours more vivid 20000K Blue, Very low PAR, Low growth, Colours more vivid

Red Dragon is really nice small in footprint, low power consumption, sleek colours.... btw I found out that the so called "pressure rated" pumps are not what they seem the real pressure rated pumps sucks in water and injects pressure on the water so much so that it literally explodes out of the pump anyone can verify this?

you got a lionfish with other fishes? won't it eat them?

yah the red dragon came to mind after i posted but its abit high on the $$$

search for donkey dung in SRC :lol:

better ask mods to change the topic or get tick tock

maybe you can scrape it off? a little crude IMO

wow that'a cool!!!!! :lol:

:shock:

Hi guys, please poll on which pump you use for return and state the reason for using it :lol:

just 2 points for you hermit, 1)If you notice the bottom turning black, that's hydrogen sulfate and its toxic so never stir the sand bed 2)The key point for sandbeds is the surface area cheers

I am not sure what species but the first one is definately a juvenile of some angelfish

looks like the aquafuge, think it should work well without the baffles

there is one with lots of LPS

nah its the same. only plenums use different grain sizes with a cryptic environment in the center. as I have mentioned, the most important factor is the surface area

that's a leather coral

hey cool

yo Jimaroon, just wondering where you got all these stuff

you got to understand that as the sand bed goes deeper, the oxygen gradient might not be enough for enough to diffuse into the depth, causing an anoxic region. The anoxic region, instead of converting nitrates to nitrogen gas, it converts it to ammonium which is one of the fuel sources for algal growth, hence defeats the purpose of having a sand bed. From what I know, a sand bed should not be more than 4 inches thick

toby?

I highly recommend grade 0 or grade 1 sand. The difference in surface area is drastic!!!

how come there are bubbles?

is there a difference between the green ones and the brown ones?

if you do not want to remove your rocks, you can get hermits to do the job

IMO if you have a good clean-up crew, dead stuff would not be a problem but this does not mean that you do not treasure your LS
