  1. Leds to supplement T5? How?

    I've a rimless reef aquarium without canopy, using an ATI Powermodule 6x54w T5 fixture. You can see some pics in my blog (it's also in english, in spite of I've to update it soon).

    I'm thinking to supplement this with a LED bar in order to get the desired shimmer effect, not only for moonlight. The size of my tank is 120cm x 50cm x 50cm. What do you think it's the best option without fix it to the fixture, just put it over the tank?

    Thanks in advance by your support. ...

  2. Bio Pellets and Alkalinity?

    I recall a thread somewhere here or from Drummer's Reef 180 build where someone mentioned that while using bio pellets they try to keep alkalinity near 8.0 dkh? Can't find the info. What was the thought behind that?

    Thanks!

    Getting ready to go on vacation to sweet San Diego and irony strikes.

    Showing Mom how easy it is to take care of the tank thanks to my Reefkeeper 2, and I drop it in water. Absolutely fried. Now I have to come up with a timer, replace my less reliable heater and hope for the best. Bad times man, bad times!

    What disasters struck your tank before vacation?

  5. Need Feeding and Coral Input

    One of these days I'm going to go all out and post pictures and videos of my tank, but today is not that day I have a few random questions to ask and would appreciate any accurate input. Unfortunately, some of these questions are rather long-winded, but as we all know, it's fun to talk about saltwater tanks and going off on random tangents is really just part of the hobby when you truly love it. As for the questions pertaining to the title of this post, here they are:
