Hey all I need some opinions. I just replaced my coralife 150W 10,000K bulb with an XM 150 W 15,000K bulb. Now, it looks good with my 2 supplemental 65W actinic power compact bulbs, but it is VERY blue overall. I now need to replace the 65 watters and want to know opinions as to what to use. 2 10,000K bulbs? 1 10K bulb and 1 actinic? I want to put some brightness into the tank without slacking off on the actinic.

Ideas??? Thanks!!!!!

Well so far so good. Ricordeausa.com shipped Tuesday as promised, recieved a tracking number (available updates via website account). Shipment came in about 15 mins ago. Box was damp on the bottom, however everything was packed really well, with heaters included. Will upload pictures of packing in a bit.

I ordered 11 zoa/paly's and one Acro. I have what appears to be 10 zoa's and the Tricolor, plus a zoa marked Free and a Birdsnest Frag marked Free.

Not that this is exciting to a seasoned reefer...but I saw a mushroom or ricordea coral eviscerate itself and then resorb its gut. I guess that it was pooping! I've only had my tank set up for four days so I'm looking forward to many more discoveries and gee whiz moments!

First, I'll start off with a small disclaimer - I did not create this idea on my own. It was an idea I elaborated on to suit my own needs. This tool is something plugged into your household outlet and put into your fish tank with open ended wires allowing electricity to pass through the water. I cant be held responsible for any injury to yourself or your livestock. Use at your own risk. With that said. Ive used this on several large reef tanks including one of the premier Seattle area LFS's display ...

Display tank, fts. Not the most impressive pic, but the best I've got right now. Things have shifted a bit since then, so next deep cleaning will be new fts time.
