what is the best method people have found for cleaning the rounded corners in the jbj nano cubes? Is there a special tool I could buy for this?

absolutely gorgeous... how do you aquascape? Do you use putty? I have a 12 gallon nano and would love to place frags on some of my large rocks, but they never stay. I've tried super glue, rubber banding and aquarium silicone to try to attach frags to rock and rock to rock, shell to rock, frag...

I had terrible luck with one, it didn't fit well in my 12 gallon nano cube and didn't seem to be doing much, so I eventually just gave up and removed it. I hope it works out better for you.

ok... how do I keep oysters alive and happy? P.S. They're not really "little" or "tiny" each one is over 2 inches across.

anybody else have something like this?

I circled where I think their bodies are and pointed to the mouths, the pics aren't great, but you can get the idea... rock like shells with bumpy texture.

I realized today that the rock with the neat fossils in it isn't fossilized at all and the little rascals are alive. Actually, they're pretty big rascals, too. Can anybody ID what kind of mussel these are? There are 2 of them, you can see the mouth closing in the top one. They're glued in there...

has anyone bought any of the upgrade kits for their jbj tanks? I just got the upgrade for my 12 gallon for my 2005 deluxe tank so I have 96 watts in it. Does anyone know if you can also put in the refugium kit along with that? Would I need to do some further modifications to fit it in? Just...

eventually I'm thinking of a true perc or two, that or some kind of goby :)

sun corals don't require light, but you have to feed them

I've got a handful of hermits, a few snails, no fish, a cleaner shrimp and a coral banded shrimp.

lol, I don't want to post a pic of mine after that! :) Beautiful. I actually got mine in a coral package I got from online and there is a lot of die off around the individual polyps, so if I can bring it back I'll be doing really well. I've seen a lot of posts about cup methods or using a...

I have a new sun coral and would like to keep it happy. Does anyone have any advice for me? I spot fed it some brine shrimp last night with a tweezers. Is there a better food choice and method of delivery I should look into?

I have the 2005 jbj nano cube deluxe and right now have the stock lighting. I think it's 2 24w 50/50 bulbs. I'm planning on upgrading to 96w actinics in the next week or so, though. :)

well, even at the smaller scale it's still a pricey hobby. I've got around 20 lbs. of live rock in there (that depends on density, of course) and maybe 15 lbs. of live sand. I bought a little bit here and there locally since most sites ship out larger quantities than what I could use, so I...
