DeMartini, are you using a chiller with that Sunpod? I think im keeping my tank and upgrading lights and buying RO/DI unit. Im looking at the 150 sunpod on my 28 gallon.

Everytime I think I undrestand this hobby I get derailed! Ok everyone swears by HQI's. JonCats aquapod ( 1x32w SunPaq Dual Daylight & 1x32w) comes with stock lighting and he has some great and beautiful corals in it. DeMartini also has a beautiful tank with little lighting, Aquapod with stock...

I just spoke with the owner of the LFS. He said basically to come in and look at it. He doesnt like the Solana said it doesnt look as good as the pictures and that after he sells the one he has he is not carying another. He swore up and down about buying a RedSea Max. Better filtration its...

How would you add some moonlights to this? No actinic coloration either are mh's ok colored without actinic. Im asking cause my local lFS has one for 689.99 total and I am thinking about it! :)

Originally Posted by MaTT B lights chillers filters all upgrades I was told the chillers that fit in the nanos dont work well at all. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that. I want one of these so bad but I cant afford a 200 or 300 dollar chiller. I was told if Im lucky the nano...

Originally Posted by Beth How cold will the room that its located in be? You can get a pretty small heater, and with good water circulation, live rock, and a bit of daily water changes, you can do without the skimmer fine. Perhaps you can get a Hydor mini water heater which are made for micro...

Originally Posted by Beth That sounds like a good plan. It won't need much, a piece or 2 of live rock, water from your display, a bit of sand from your display. You could have it set up in under an hour. So lack of an HOB and a heater isnt an issue? Its so small Im looking at it now I dont...

Originally Posted by Beth Can you find another home for this fish? Perhaps get a tank divider, let the beat up fish heal up, then return him to the fish store. I have a small little desk aquarium I might be able to add some of my current water to it and put him in there. Only thing is it wont...

Well I started another post about my one Percula all of a sudden chasing my other one everywhere. The one being chased now looks horrible, in the span of about 3 or 4 days he has degenerated. He has popeye in both eyes ( i think from wedging himself in the rocks to hide), his caudal fin is...

DeMartini, Once upon a time you helped me set up my tank. 28 gallon, I bought a t5 light set up with 4 bulbs. Got a good Aqua Remora skimmer. I have had it about 11 months. My tank is seriously suffering though and was wondering if you had any advice. I got some Zoos (that are now closing...

Hello recently I went out of town and had someone take care of my tank. I came back and some of my Zoos have closed and what seems like melting away. Also im having some rough algea issues... Trying to get rid of it. Here is a pic any help would be great!

He looks now like he has popeye...:( I think he banged into something being chased... who knows... I cant believe all of a sudden my one clownfish decided to attack the other one after 10 months in the tank. Beth, could one of them be diseased and the other is deciding to attack it and keep it...

Turned on my lights today and one of my Perculas was huddled at the bottom of the tank against the sand breathing erraticaly and looked white, transparent like... After awhile some of his pigment came back. However he still is breathing rapidly and my other Percula is chasing him around like...

1 thing i forgot to add. Yesterday I watched my snail releasing eggs into the water column for the first time that I noticed. He or she released a lot of them.. Is it possible this could have done anything?
