nano tank walk through...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Oh to answer the temp lighting thingamabob:Every atom and molecule has a spectral signature. The spectrum of light that comes out depends on what the chemical composition of the gas is. For example a purplish blue "neon" sign has argon in it because argon emits a lot of blue wavelengths. The temperature of the mixture is related to the color in that the more energy you pump into a gas the hotter it will get and it will become a plasma. The plasma is what emits the light. The more you excite the molecules the more light it will put out. Energy can not be created or destroyed. So the electricity added to the gas has to be converted into other forms of energy. It converts into light and kinetic energy. The faster molecules are moving the hotter they are. The more electricity you add the more light is put or better put: the speed of light is constant the only two things that can change to put out more energy is wave length and frequency. Frequency and wavelength are directly related. So when you add more energy the wavelength and frequency go up so you get bluer on the spectrum which is called a blue shift. The opposite is true if you lessen the input energy you light emission will be redder with less energy.
To sum up everything I just said the hotter something is the bluer it will get. The cooler it is the redder it will get.
If you can actually read what I said and understand it you should start a saltwater tank lol. :) :)
 
^ ta-dah! thanks guy...

pics would be up no earlier than tommorow
 
 
large variety? did i post the right link? there's like 4 in there....
i want to FILL this baby with corals, i just fragged some xenia and added one to this tank i'll get pics when it opens up/i feel like it :D
 
go frag yourself!

:D
seriosuly, there's some good money to be had
