Try changing your salt maybe. I think sometimes that these mystery slow/no growth problems come down to a trace element that we might not even know to test for. Some salts may have it, others not...

It might be workable. I would be more inclined though to go back to an external type stockman and silicone an overflow box INSIDE the tank.

It's a PITA to do it without removing livestock but it...

So, if I'm seeing this right from your pic it looks like your problem stems from having to run your plumbing through a hole in the wall almost vertically.

I would check out sign shops and see if you can get a black plastic film that will just stick to the tank, sort of like those window coatings that just go on with water. That would give you the...

That's good for zeroing it, but there are a lot of refractometers that don't scale properly which is why I've always seen it recommended that you calibrate it at 35

I don't have first hand experience with VHO. That said, I have heard that the VHO's have a much nicer actinic bulb available to them. That's about the only reason I could see staying with VHO's. ...

Are you dosing anything like Amino Acids? I'm not 100% up to speed on these pellets but when I was on the zeovit system I had to feed amino acids and other coral foods to really make the colours pop.

Reefbrite LED Strips?

Hi there,

Is anyone using these yet? I was considering picking up a 15" mixed blue/white strip. My goal with the strip would be to add shimmer to the tank when ALL the T5's are going. It would...

WOW is all I can say

And Grizz, you would love the effect I have no doubt but I don't think mine has enough OOMpH for an 8 foot tank! But I do highly recommend them!

Yeah, the overflow will have a dampening effect on the wavebox, might even make it not worth while. Plus, the wavebox takes up a LOT of real estate so it may just stay on the shelf or go up for sale...

I have no doubts about the stand. Curious about how the tank will do with the wavebox!

I don't see why not, a 3/4" overlay is probably overkill but better safe than sorry. Just ensure that the tank is sitting directly over some of the supports underneath the countertop and you should...

Hi,

I have a 50mm macro and find it is great for close up shots within 6" of the glass, anything further away and it loses its effectiveness quickly. If I had to do it again I would probably pick...
