pyrrhus Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 will take that advice, thanks corey. i am hard headed especially when what i am stating has worked for me and many of my accounts, i will be more humble in the future. never had to do lighting research before as all my accounts already had their setup.

birdman204 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Ok, enough with this thread! Link to comment
Scorched Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 corey, I wont stop you from bashing anyone but you think you could edit your service tech + snowboarder remark - it might be stereotypical of some people (perhapes him) but I'm a boarder with a great education base and I find that somewhat offensive to me lol. Nice pic Link to comment
birdman204 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Well, I am a stoner with a great education and a rider, I dunno bout the service tech part. I think this thread needs to NOT be replied in anymore : Link to comment

ViciousFishes Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Noob question here.I also wanted to get a clam for a 30gal. reef i started 3 months ago. Corals and clams need the right type of lighting correct. Preferably in the blue and violet spectrum which penetrates water much deeper and on which zooxanthellae thrives on, which in turn provides energy or food source to the host. So wouldn't you be able to get somewhat close to the same effect as MH's using more actnic 03 bulbs? For example using 3 actnics and 1 10,000k on the 96watt Powerquad, should provide plenty of the blue spectrum wavelenght (420nm) for the algae to be photosynthetic and provide energy and the 10,000k just keeps your tank from looking completely blue and let's you appreciate the colors of your corals/clams. Excuse me if some of my light terms are incorrect. I don't know all of the lingo just yet. Link to comment
birdman204 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 The wavelength of light is very important, you are correct here. But look at it like this... ( now I suck at analogies mind you ) , A steak on a grill at it's lowest setting will cook, VERY SLOWLY, but it will cook. Take the same gas, that burns at the same tempurature , but increase the amount of available gas, and what happens, your steak gets cooked much quicker. In the case of the aquarium, the zooanthelle are producing carbohydrates as a process of photosynthesis... If the grill ain't hot enough, the zooanthelle can't cook fast enough Go back a few pages on this thread for a link regarding UV lighting in the aquarium. Intensity is also a key factor and one must look further than simply wavelengths. Link to comment
