  1. Hey, I have one of these display boxes. Did I meet you about 2 years ago? Did you buy an in tank refugium from me from a CL add? Did you give me one of these boxes? I still have it :)

     

    Great looking pico. I love it!!!

    Yes that is the same box I brought with me to put the corals in that I bought from you. and I remember I bought the refugium also, I took your advice and joined WAMAS , so here I am.

  2. I used the box at the bottom instead of the one behind the tank to hold the equipment (filter,heater,thermometer)and the chaeto algae, it also have room for floating valve that will help with evaporation issue.

  4. Hi this is shrimpo @ the planted tank, nice DIY you made there, sorry I don't have a PAR meter but there is section in this board for WAMAS members that enable you to borrow it as well as sale/trade frags and equipments, I highly recommend to sing up for WAMAS membership.

    Good luck to you

  5. What make & model light fixture is that? Better light spread than I expected for a small fixture.

    This is a DIY from a guy in California, I paid $200 when I bought it, but now I saw on Ebay that he reduced the price to $185 free shipping whith improved features like dimmer and individual switch for actinic.

    Edit: you can also link more light fixtures together, you just need separate power cable. check the topic at the new to the hobby forum that I started under the title LED lighting, to see a picture of 2 light fixtures linked together.

  6. I am leaning towards the marco combo, since the live will seed the dry rock, but I really love the pukani. Do any of you have the marco dry rock? Or punani rock? Thoughts?

    I am using mostly Pukani rock in my 40 gallon, they are light weight comparing to other rocks, so you end up paying less and reducing some stress on the stand.

  7. I tested the water here is the result:

    Amonia: 0.25ppm.

    Nitrite: 0 ppm.

    Nitrate:5 ppm.

    Phosphate: 0.5.

    PH: 8

    Calcium: 480

    Alkalinity:12 dkh

    Magnesium: 1800

    I used API test kit exept for Magnesium I used Red Sea test kit, I bought it not too long ago but there is no date on it.

    I don't dose anything at this moment although I have 2part sitting around in case I need to use it.
