Well can you think of any other ideas? I just wanted some kind of pico/nano competition thing to start, so I could enter my tank? Do you know of any contests that are starting?

I agree, a 30 gallon could be considered a nano tank, but a 3 gallon tank compared to a 30 gallon has completely different challenges of its own. The idea was for similar tank sizes with similar issues. You are right, allowing a sump wouldn’t be a bad idea. The idea was for people to start...

Ok, so I saw this on another thread and it seemed like a really fun idea! I don't know if anyone else would be interested in joining, but what the heck? Ill post it and you guys decide! So basically it will be a thread started for just nanos started together. Ok, the ground rules are: -No more...

So i bought a picotope 3 gal today, and a PAR38 bulb. the bulb has 12 LED, blue and white, the thing even comes with a remote to dim the light and mix the two colors. My question is, all I want in that tank are candy cane, hamer coral, frog spawn, mushrooms, toad stool, maybe a really small rose...

Hey, so I have a 5 gallon tank. It has a 10 watt 50/50 light on it and the coral thats in there is doing fine with that. I want something a bit stronger. I want to build an LED system for it. If anyone could give me an idea of how many LED I would need and which color and type.

I was wondering how long I should have the timer on for the coral in my tank. I have zoas, mushrooms and xenia. I need to know ho many hours is good thanks

I just got a nice frag mushroom. I put it in a cup with rubble put the current kept moving it. I put a rubberband over it, you think that would do the trick and not hurt it? how long should i leave the band on it?

I am going to go buy one or the other today. I wanted to know out of the two, which is the hardiest, which would do best in a 5 gallon tank, and which grew the fastest. Thanks

Its a orchid dotty back. It has a lid, I may just get it.

Im getting a Yellow Watchman Goby this weekend for my 5 gallon. there is one fish in there and the rest will be coral. Do you think he will do fine in the tank of that size? The tank water is perfect, I just need to know if he will be fine. its a present.

Actually, now looking into it (since this is a birthday present) I think I may just ask for the Yellow Watchman goby instead lol, its a really nice looking fish. But yea, the tube worm would come later then i guess. I think the tank would be able to support it, but since its a filter feeder, Im...

Nano, pico whatever lol, its 5 gallons. its a hex tank. I have a orchid dottyback that I will be moving eventually to a 30 gallon. MAybe a shrimp/goby pair later? not sure yet. its mainly a small reef tank. I just wanted to buy a feather duster this weekend. The tank is running perfect, and yea...

Hello, I am thinking of buying a tube worm this weekend. All I have in the tank is xenia, mushrooms this weekend also, and a fish. I dont feed the coral anything, so would that effect the worm at all? The tank is a month of, cycled all the way. Its a 5 gallon pico, do they usually last a while?

I dont want him to eat my coral. He was near my xenia today. Should i Just throw him in the HOB filter or something? I dont want to kill it, but i dont want it near my coral

It looks identical to that second one. are both of thous coral safe or no? I can try and get a pic
