  1. this is a great idea i think the only problem i can think of is if im imagining this the way your thinking it your current could blow this around too much or keep then in a corner but if it works could be something awesome what if you put just some empty frag plugs around the tank for them to play with you could also maybe put some rings or something attached to the strings haha or put some seaweed attached to the strings you have to get a video of this

  2. Blackhand, thanks for your interest! I believe both Reefstar and Evergrow are good lighting fixtures. I decided to buy this because it can be customized and TONs of RC advanced reefers approve it. Dont' get me wrong, I heard our local reefers made the success with reefstar as well. At this time, I have a 150w white and blue 50/50 LED, I couldn't keep the purple color. That is why I want to try the full spectrum lighting.

    The group buy price will require at least 12 units to make it happen, maybe I can negotiate to 10 units. I spent two nights, totally, more than 10 hours to work on that sale girl! the price she gave me is not the "group-buy" price, it is their wholesale price. She even showed me how much her commission,how much "real" shipping cost and company profit to me. And she said because it is the first groupbuy in this area, she want to establish the reputation, but it is builtup, it will be hard to justify this really low price. After I have 12 units, i will close it up. If you guys want more, i can help the next groupbuy as she is fully believe I am the big guy of this area ( I know, I am sorry, I bluffed her up, that was the only way she believe i have the influence for this group buy event). but I can not guarantee the same price. she may want a little bit more commission from it.

     

    thanks for the response i would love to get in on this but have to convince my wife first and thats a bigger hurdle than coming up with the money lol but what are the differences in the two lightings is one bigger than the other the prices are quite different thanks

  3. wow those are some great prices and they sound like good fixtures i have been really wanting to dive into leds but have been waiting for prices like these ive always figured i would wait and buy some reefstar leds but these are tempting if i can come up with the money so when is the group buy final when is the money due and is there going to be another chance for this if i cant make it on this group buy thanks

  4. ZEOVIT tanks are amazing almost 100% of the time.

     

    so are there some pretty desastrous tanks out there is it because they did things wrong or didnt follow the protocall or did they do everything right and the zeovit didnt work sorry just wanting to understand and this is all new to me thanks

  5. Welcome to the forum. You should definitely check out Garret. If you look at my signature I have a clown anemone tank well it's mostly a clownfish tank now but many of the anemones I got were from Garrett.

     

    yes check out emeral525's tank its amazing truly inspiring for all that love clowns and anemone's and welcome to the forum dont hesistate to ask anything even the noob question for i do all the time thats what were all here for

  6. so sorry if this is a stupid or noob question but im going to ask it anyways cause thats what this forum is for right lol... so what makes zeovite so amazing is it only for dosing purposes ive seen tanks with is and the visual differences are amazing ill agree but the visual is all that i know about it i can google all i want but to hear from someone that is using it on a great tank would be better advice imo also is it more expensive than other ways and is it primarily only used on sps dominated tanks or is it worth it for all tanks ok well thanks in advance

  7. Well I wouldn't mind hosting I live in Albany I don't have a tank thread up yep but I have a 265 and in the next week or so going to plum in a display sump so my wife can have her sea horses and pipefish only problem is that I live in an apartment so it would be crowded but would love to have some gentle criticism let me talk to the wife about feb just nervous cause of how many other great tanks that are on here

     

    yeah bud you have to have a meeting your tank is becoming amazing

  8. thanks everyone for the great comments ill ask him again about his water params but he just always tells me oh i just checked them and there good so i take his word for it of course but yeah tonight we moved it under his massive leather coral its huge he has a standard 125 and it takes up 1/4 of the tank at least so hopefully that will be the right amount of shade and that lighting is the problem thanks agian everyone

  9. thanks for the help emerald525 yeah i cant believe its getting bleached and thats why i was thinking it has to be something different but theres a huge leather he has in there that he could put the wellso under so that could be a perfect spot for it maybe and yeah unfortunately my 120 crashed and i didnt do a thread was to depressing especially since i lost all of the zoas that i bought from you and reefnjunkie was aweful and the wife was not happy but now trying to slowly start a 75gal and restart hopefully one of these days i can get all of those purdy zoas from you and reefnjunkie again thanks again for the help

  10. So when my 120 crashed and i traded it for a downgrade i was able to save some of my lps and give them to my father in law who has a 125gal reef which has been established for at least 3yrs everything is doing fine in there he does things a little cheap but its been working for what he has but one of the corals that i had him save for me was a beautiful green and purple wellso it was my favorite that i had at the time and it was growing great in my old system and was in his until the last few weeks it has been loosing its color and turning white its on the sand bed and as far as we know nothing (fish or invertebrates) are pestering it, it has been in his system for several months previous to this and was thriving he also has a red wellso he got from tpa and its not losing color its thriving and none of his other corals are losing color he has a mixed reef with sps, lps, and softies his sps are nothing fancy and dont have great color but are growing and have good polip extension as does all his other corals his water parameters are fine he tells me and he checks regularly and did when the problem happened and continues and states that the water is good so please refrain from comments about what the parameters are at because i dont know specific numbers his lighting is t5 nothing fancy just oddyssea brand and only 4bulb it reaches the whole length of the tank for all is lit, but i know this wellso shouldnt need much light but that was my first guess but nothing else in that area or anywhere else in the tank is losing color and the bulbs are only a few months old so sorry for the long narrative but i love this wellso and want it to regain its former glory and would love to understand what is going wrong oh and also he does feed from time to time nothing bad or much thanks for all the help

  11. oh haha sorry i just saw this post and figured i would give it a bump and try to join didnt even look in the tft classified haha well thanks for adding me in the drawing anyways great idea and i hope it met its goal

  12. This is a hot bed item, everyone has different ideas and methods for dealing with Ich. The best thing you can do is get advice on what has worked for others, do lots and lots of reserch and then choose which methods will work best for you.

    It may be helpful if you tell us what else is in your tank. Any inverts or corals?

     

    Good luck with the battle.

    +1 Great info and websites everyone on this site and others are going to have different opions on how to cure ick the problem is that there is no for sure cure for ick theres no golden tablet but there are many different ways that work and some are more proven than others so research some and whichever seems the most reasonable for you and your fish do that my suggestion make sure your fish are healthy and continue to eat well ive had several fish at different times have had ick and even the same fish several times (which was my prized tang) and the trick that I found is to do the least stressful technique for curing the ick this is a disease and the last thing you want to do to your fish is stress it out more ive found that stressing a fish can kill it faster than ick but thats all ime for sometimes quarantaining a fish or doing other extreme measures can stress the fish out more than help the ick so good luck with healing your fish and welcome to the club
