My cleaner give birth like 4 times(i happen to see the babies) already.. tried LR on sand bed in small tank with continuous stream of bubbles.. didn't make it. Die in like 2 days or so.. dun know what to feed them...
So other than Bulb not compatible? The rest possible?
Because i have lobang with Osram, thinking of setting up one. but i not sure of what is needed.And if everything ok can intro to fellow reefers..
Dr Evil, Any specs to give??
I wanted to have a MH.
Is it posssible to get all parts of MH made by Osram?
Maybe someone can help me list out the parts and i can put one Metal Halide together.
eg.
Bulb Osram888
Holder Osram777
Ballast Osram333
Reflector Osram444
Kalk? Normally ppl use it in the Calcium reactor?
How much is one packet or box (dun know how it look like)
It is true that Calcium react with phosphate.
Phospate test kit like quite ex.
I already been adding trace element into the tank
Thanks Justink.
There is new T5s in the market. 20W one. Cheaper.
i saw MH for 4 or 5 footer. Look like PL light casing with 3 or 4 very small bulb inside. Does the 2 ft MH look the same?? I dun wan to drill holes on my walls to mount the MH.
Btw whats the price of the MH like?
and the price of T5 2 X 24W?
btw whats LPS and SPS? i think my polyp turning brown,, because of poor lighting??
Thinking of getting the Dyma T5 as additional.. 2 X 20W
Enough then?

Hi all. I am running a fish only 4 feet tank for about 7 mths now.
Have a Blue, Purple, Yellow tang. 1 Maroon clown and 2 clown and some damsels. Basic parameter under control. Never test for phosphate though.
Notice colour of fishes fades. The maroon changes slightly blackish. Been adding marine trace (seachem) into the system. Feed them with Tetra flakes and sometimes mysis and brine shrimps.
Is there anyway to bring the colour back? Hear that Vit C is needed also for the Marine Trace to be effective. Is there any acticle on it?
Searched the forum but cannot find anything abt fish losing colour.
Thanks for all your help!
