10 seconds?! my PC is still in its initial boot screen. :( still takes me ~30 seconds even with the x-25m LUCKKKYY. but man, made a huge difference in performance compared to my older raid set up.
what kinda RAID set up are you running?
If you are just looking for speed, i suggest the X 25-M from intel. EASILY kills any raptor in raid 0 set up :)
fwiw, i have a 250g mybook by Western Digital thats been working fine for me for the past 5 years. I recently bought a new 1tb...
I hear naso tangs will eat it but i had a hard time getting any at the LFS to eat them. I did weekly water changes and it slowly died off. I manually removed it when it started to plate instead of encrust. hope that helps...those things are a pain.
If you are going BTA I suggest you go RBTAs :). There is one strain of RBTA that is really impressive. I believe Vlad? has them and they are really nice. Unfortunately, I killed the one I bought from him months ago. :(
Haha funny that you mention Pho Y Phong! That is the only restaurant I would even think about recommending someone if they were looking for pho in SJ.
I am a beef noodle#1 fan across the street though. Their pho has gone down in quality lately so I haven't been recommending that people go...
might be a bit hard to put starboard in acrylic tanks, i know the openings on the top are sometimes small, especially with truvu tanks. It looks nice when the starboard is just one big piece instead of 2-4 pieces.
in my experience, the color fins and everything come back with a good and healthy diet. try giving them time getting used to your tank and make sure no one is picking on them and they should do fine.
for me, i change the bulbs every 8-9 months.
i mainly buy just ATI bulbs.
i think i would do
Blue+
UV Aquasun
UVL superactinic
blue+
it was pretty nice when i had a 4bulb set up
