00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[tbrown]

Wow these are some impressive creatures! Well that settles it. I'm throwing the book at them

Don't throw the book at Berghia... They'll get squished!

 

[tbrown]

Could be an issue....
Yikes.

Nah. I've been over 100 with next to no algae in my old 135.

Lunch....

I had leftover pizza.

With the BTA it is very difficult to know what is happening because they tend to move around everywhere, you do not have a way to rent a PAR meter or have someone go to your house and measure it? Here in my LFS they do the measurement for $50, my dad has 2 BTA and they are fine for weeks and then they move, when he returns her to her place they can be there for weeks or months but they always move again.

Sadly I don’t. But I did see that at least one led is out.

All the way blue then all the way white.

You like the t5s better and you're the one buying them AND looking at them. That is the reason to get them, brother! I think your tank looks amazing and the t5s give your beautiful fish a chance to shine.

Where does one buy T5s

I'm not positive you're wrong, it's just a big argument at this point mainly because there's no scientific studies proving one side or another.

The biggest point towards blue light is that typically white light is filtered out by the water by the time it reaches the typical corals we have in our tanks.

Also, white causes algae growth so the less white you have the better chance of having a lower amount of algae.

Agreed.
Wish I understood it better than I do to be honest.
I believe @ISpeakForTheSeas had a post with a great chart on which algae uses which light but I'm not positive.

Online.
Ebay, premium aquatics.

Agree again Tim.
My old old 100 was well over 100 and all I had was green algae, which is what I'd like to have now.

 

[00W]

Yeah Luis!!

Should I order these? These would be my first ever zoa. I have a $50 dollar giftcard to the vendor that sells these.

I'd love to hear the Smorgasbord strategy for aiptasia. What do you all do, or have done?
Note: There is no aiptasia in the second shot. I just thought it was an awesome picture lol!

I have a Klein butterfly and a majano wand. I have a white spotted hermit in the sump and it eats all it can reach. Usually after a while my kids/nephews will use the majano wand on the ones that the crab can't reach.

I thought red and green grew algae too?

 

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

Magicians?

Yes

[luis angel]

Yes

I love mine, but for me they have been slow growers, @JoJosReef also has some I think, let's wait for him to shows up to see how his does.
