Biological filtration and its establishment is one of the many "controversial" aspects of marine aquarium keeping that neednt be confusing. There are many ways to get your system cycled and ready for livestock. All the above can/do work and all take time and testing.

Metal halide bulbs come in various color spectra, from 5500K to the new 10,000K and 20,000K lamps.

We favor the 6500K lamps, in combination with 7100K PowerCompact lamps. Although some would disagree with us and recommend the higher color-temperature lamps, we feel that the results do not justify the much greater cost of these lamps. Weve tried all of them, and while the 10,000K and 20,000K lamps do produce a warmer appearance without the use of actinic lamps, weve seen no appreci

I went to remove and clean it again, when it broke coming off. It then went into the trash, and that was the last time I used anything with the Rio name on it, having had several bad experiences with their powerheads as well. For more information:

About Micro Bubble Problems:

A bunch of small bubbles in your water can be more than unsightly... they can cause serious health problems for your livestock. The best way to alleviate small bubble problems is to coalesce them at their source, usually the discharge side of overflow l

Refugium reverse photo period, could it actually fuel daytime algae?
I was just reading some articles about PH and whatnot (Randy Holmes Farley stuff) and started to think about CO2. If algae gives off Co2 at night time when it isn't photosynthesizing, then the chaeto ball in my fuge is doing just that during the day when the fuge light is off and the display light is on .. thus, helping to fuel algae in my display tank!
