I am thinking about down grading from a 75 to the 28 nano. I was just wondering if people are able to run this set up without a chiller? I have corals im going to swap over and I dont think the fluorescents will cut it but I also dont want to buy a chiller. Any help would be great. Thanks

its a 75 gallon

Well it was over due really. I had scrapped Coraline of the side glass and a little off front glass. My rocks were covered in brown matt algae so I cleaned it off with a toothbrush. I added a new powerhead, and cleaned the filter pads and filter housing with fresh R/O. I did not do a water...

So I did some tank maintenance last night and when I woke up this morning to go to work I took a peak. To my horror the water was bad, bad cloudy and all my frogspawns have died, my montipora died and is now white, snails are dead, and zoas, rics, and shrooms do not look happy. My clam is ok for...

To tell if they are dead simply take one out and smell it. If it smells rancid, then its dead and should be removed. Because if nothing is there to clean it up, then you amonia could go up. And to clarify, I've had snails in water as low as 1.019 and they were fine.

I just moved my 75 gal reef across town which is about a 30 minute drive but let me tell you it was not fun. Bring lots of friends. I took all my rock with no corals attached and wrapped them up in newspaper and put in a rubber maid container. I have 3 30gal rubber maid trash cans and rocks...

Oh I hate it when people drive under the limit. In my town they actually have to post minimums on the highway. The speed limit is 70 but the min is 45. And so many people ever since gas went up drive slow to try and conserve $.50. Speed up people its not worth it!!! I also hate when people...

Well I can say I did not vote for him!!!!! I think those that did will relaize they made a mistake. He complianed about the bush administration running up the deficit, what do you think he is going to do?? This is not good at all, heck he is basically running a clinton admin and look where...

My foxface will do the same thing. I think that is just there nature. He will pull out and be fine. Then probably in some time he will do it again. Mine, when eating, will be pigging out and then all of a sudden thrash about and hit the rocks in camo mode. He has always done that and I have...

Super glue works great but if you are trying to glue shrooms or rics you will have to take a different approach.

I have done it once to help combat some algae and yes my tank was way clearer and my corals did well. However I lost two fish and the only thing I could think of was that when light is off Ph drops. Now I am not sure if the prolonged Ph drop harmed them or what but as far as I could tell they...

Nova extreme pro is better because it has individual reflectors and that is what you need. Look at the aquactinics Tx5 also.
