Metal Halide

In our opinion, metal halide lighting still represents the ultimate choice for marine reef aquariums, especially for sensitive hard corals. Metal halide bulbs look like incandescent bulbs but differ considerably in operation. Metal halide bulbs employ two tungsten filaments embedded in a quartz inner arc tube, spaced apart so when electricity passes through them, it forms an arc between the two. The electrical discharge excites metallic halogen gases in the arc tube which glow quite brightly.

Metal halide lamps produce an incredible amount of light. So much so, that like the sun, they should never

Frankly, you should have no fear constructing a manifold for how inexpensive the framework is to build. In the worst-case scenario, a scrapped structure is a lesson of $20 or less in plumbing, which is a pale and worthwhile investment in light of the value of the display tank.

Next we must decide on the type of nozzle for inside of the manifold tees. They should be movable/swivel and ideally be able to restrict or regulate water flow. Its at this point where the projec

The Actual Arrangement:

Due diligence, what does it mean to you? Here it means investigating enough to make intelligent choices/decisions on what is best for your system... How many through-puts (bulkheads, gas-jet fittings, thru-hulls...) of what diameter will you want/need? Where should they go? Maybe an overflow standpipe arrangement is better for your application? P

The plenum method was discovered by Dr. Jean Jaubert and is often referred to as the Jaubert System. "Plenum" refers to an un-oxygenated layer of water trapped beneath a deep layer of gravel or sand at the bottom of an aquarium. This layer of water becomes anaerobic. Bacteria cultivate in this oxygen-free environment and remove nitrates from the aquarium. There are several variations of the plenum, depending on what literature you read.

The basic structure of the plenum system is essentially a deep (3" to 4") layer of gravel, suspended 1/2" to 1" above the bottom of an aquarium. It is usually recommended that very little

Truth be told, most tanks will be served very well with unrestricted outlets that merely have swiveling 45-degree elbows.

Nonetheless, some aquarists will have more discriminating preferences and some corals certainly have more demanding needs regarding water flow. This is especially true in display with large or fast growing corals that have a monthly need for modificati

Id say a dark room, no flash, and a wide aperture. Try using different camera speeds if you have a manual setting on.
