WHAT CAN I HAVE with these lights

That's rarely a problem. They may not bloom out as much,
but rarely do they really suffer from the increased lighting.

Many a times I've taken corals from low light areas and
put them right under 400watt mh lighting.

It *can* produce a problem, but rarely does.

If you want to play it safe, you can place the corals
lower, and move them up, or reduce lighting , but I'm not
too keen on the idea of the reduce lighting method,
preferring the coral moving method.

Also since you have two 150 watt small point source lights, you can
put corals up close to those lights, and gain quite a bit more light,
whereas florescent light is more spread out. MH light rules :-)

But if you put corals TOO close to the light, and they WILL bleach...


Yeah, I've heard this. I think there was a recent article in the
"Tropical Fish" rag. They recommended introducing new lightly in
increments rather then just a swap out.

I was planning to radically cut back on the hours of light and then ramp
back up to where I am when I get my new lights.

Don't know if that's necessary, but I figure it won't hurt anything.

I'm worried about my anemones, but then again, they can move if they
don't like it.

Mine haven't moved in 4 weeks, and I've only had the tank for 8.
However, I'll need to tear down the tank this week to get the fish out
for treatment of Ich and add additional live rock.

Nothing but fun here .... Free beer if anybody wants to help!

Fish traps. May take a while before the correct fish gets into the trap,
but it sure beats tearing everything down.

Go fishing. Heard it done by quite a few folks on various forums. Get
smallhook and heat and reform to make it as small as is neded, so me
2# test mono and some shrimp. Easy to snatch baited hook out so
worong fish does not get it. If its a veggie eater stick some nori on
the hook. Make sure to pinch in the barb on the hook though.

Add a cold Beer and your set for a bit of amusement. I sure as heck
would hate to have to tear live rock apart to catch a fish.

Are yu handy with making things? Some lexan from big box store and
some weldon glue will do fine for a fish trap or even a soda bottle
with the end cut off and inverted and attached with string or super
glue to form a funnel trap works fine, and is fast and eay to make. Yu
can heat neck somewhat or cut it to make it large enough for target
fish to enter if need be,.

I used a trap last time, but I don't know my chances of catching all 11
fish.

I thought I'd use the opportunity to add 30# of live rock as well. I
have some nice purple algae that I'd hate to bury, so it makes sense to
just do it all at once.

I think a trap would be less stressful anyway, so I'll try my luck at
that first. I'll be surprised if I get them all.

BITCH SLAP........... take a dose of your own medicine asshole. You troll,
you get trolled. You stop trolling granny, I stop trolling you. ****ing big
hero beating on an old lady. Loser......... scumbag!

I would rather eat dead koi than a crumpet ;-) But I did have some
super tasting shortbread cookies one time at heathrow airport! But I
drank coffe not tea........tea is made to be iced not drank
hot.....any southerner (and roy tristan is not a southerner, he is a
freaking carpet bagging yankee) will tell you iced tea is fine, but
hot tea is not even considered.

yes mam', I understand perfectly fine!! ;-) Hey I am sentimental, I
cried when my chia pet died!

Yeah well as you always have said us Brits have an obsession with tea
and crumpets.....coffee goes just as well too.....the big thing is a
correctly toasted crumpet with the butter melted in before you spread
the butter on top - if you ever make it to this fair land I will make
you tea/coffee and crumpets that will change you mind and you will no
longer vilify it but will come begging for more - lol

OK.....you are not the most sentimental of guys out there....that is
fine....some of us do enjoy this sort of chat/banter......IMNSHO
Walter
was a pet and therefore deserved respect......I kind of got to know
Walter through Gary's posts....now I know that this sort of post is
not
everyone's cup of tea...but it takes all sorts to make up a
community.....if you have no interest in this sort of post you skip
it...but you do not tread on someone's feelings about a lost
friend/pet....blunt enough for you my friend????

Well thats certainly different from the last story on your pump, as
you bitched and moaned because it created problems when it died. Whats
the matter asshole can;t you keep your lies straight anymore? And yu
also claimed to have Little Gianyts that leaked oil into the water,
and also claimed to have Danners, that were great pumps. Seems you
create and make up **** just to say me "yea, me to" and if the truth
was known yu probbably do not have half of what you say in regards to
your posts, you just like to make **** up and lie...........You can;t
even do test strips in wtaer checks correctly and you certainly do
not have a freeaking clue do you?
