Re: DIY / Converstion Moon Lights

Hey that's really neat!!! Would love to see them over the tank. MOAR PICS PLZ :) I'm glad that my advice could help, but I was specifically referring to computer fans when I suggested that. You might be over driving those LEDs and they might not last long. What are the specs on the LEDs and the adap...

Re: Filtration issue

Lol nice analogy. Def. looking forward to this, as I'm a fan of DIY projects. Tip: reserve a couple posts after your first one and then edit them later if you want to keep things tidy. XD Did you end up using activated carbon in your filter? I hate the expensive custom made cartridges you have to li...

Re: Filtration issue

Sorry if I missed this, but did you move your filter build thread or did you just delete it? I searched but I can't find it any more.

Re: Lights: Metal Halides

Skimmers produce micro bubbles that remove all detrius from the water, at least that is my understanding, right? And corals feed off floating particles. Please correct me if I'm wrong, always learning here.

Re: Lights: Metal Halides

I would say you wouldn't need a skimmer (don't trust me, just an opinion) Here is why: Skimmers remove all the loose proteins in your water, all the stuff corals like to eat. In such a small tank, for corals that require more than just photosynthesis for energy, you might need to dose nutrients and ...

Re: Breeding Non toxic Puffer Article

I don't understand how people can place lesser value on other creatures lives.....

I have been vegetarian for two years, and loving it. I know It's not much, but every little bit helps.

Re: Oxygen tabs for long-term use?

1 plug will run all of those? Depends on how many amps and watts the fans use. For example: I have here a ARX DC Brushless fan that I pulled out of my closet. It runs on a 12v DC current and has a .25 amp rating. (250 mA) I also have a 12v DC adapter for charging an RC car. It has 12v DC output wit...

Re: Oxygen tabs for long-term use?

What JP said!!! You don't have to use a cell phone charger, but any 12 volt DC adapter, which is pretty much anything. Cuz DC is bettah XD. Cept one guy killed an elephant with it so we don't use it for standard outlets..... But yeah, strip the wire. Red with red, black with black. Usually fans have...

Re: Oxygen tabs for long-term use?

Have fans blowing across the top of the water. It increases evap but lowers temps alot. Go to a loacal computer scrap shop or newegg.com Any fans will do, some will work better then others. Take an old cell phone charger (12v DC output) and wire it directly to the fan and it should work just great. ...

Re: Lights: Metal Halides

Looks good. If you find yourself down the road wanting light-intensive corals, you might want a second on of these, but but two acintics in one and two 10k daylights in the other so you can control a dusk/dawn effect. For now this should be fine. Good luck!
