Hopefully this works.... First Ill start off with a FTS..... Kinda Boring... I started out with tap water (newbie...) and have a bit of an algae problem, I'm hoping my snails keep up the good work and finish cleaning them off... Don't worry I'm using RO water now. Here is the PVC Overflow...

I figured now was as good of a time as any to start up this thread. As some of you may have seen I have been having problems with heating issues on my tank. My solution to this was to add a sump before wasting the money on a chiller that could be better spent on a sunpod :). With my tank already...

sorry wasn't trying to break any rules just trying to get help for my problems. I will remove the link... The product I am using is just loose polyester pillow batting basically. Kinds looks like cotton candy. Just reach in the bag and tear off a little to use.... Any one have any ideas on how...

Everyone on this nano forum talks about Filter floss. So I built an eggcrate rack to hold my chemi-pure and filter floss. Well it worked great, the filter floss really got a lot of trash out of the water, i had to change it out daily!! Tank was looking good. After running it for about 2 weeks I...

I think im going to try to build a 10 gallon sump to go in the bottom of my stand and put some fans on that and see if that helps. Josh

Lost the crab today... Saw some of my Peppermint shrimp crawling on him and knew he didn't make it.... Parameters of the tank all look good, other fish are all acting fine... Don't know if its because of my sudden temp fluctuation problems from the heat out and he couldn't take the changes.. I...

Originally Posted by nissan577 you could also use that money to buy more corals, LR, fish etc... think about it man. dont waste money on a chiller when fans do the same thing. your gonna buy a chiller to lower the temp 5 degrees. and the fans i should you do the same thing. just trying to save...

Originally Posted by nissan577 hello josh, one thing about the sunpod is it will create heat. like stated above me. but since its gonna be a hoodless tank with these lights the cool air of the house could cool it more. theres fans out there that can cool it down way better. have the temp at 80...

Originally Posted by bpro32 sunpod helped me. With my stock hood temps got up to 86 in my warm room. I switched to the sunpod and opened a window and never went above 82 even with the window closed. I live in a cool climate though so that helped me. Well I am aiming more for a temperature...

Just got my aquapod setup and running here a few weeks ago. Been cold for the past few weeks up till mid-week/this weekend when I started having overheating problems with my water. Temps were pretty stable up till now staying between 78/80*. Today they rose to 84*..... Outside temps got up to...

Originally Posted by txfishman is it a strawberry crab? No it doesn't look like that, I just googled that. Its weird it only has orange on the top part of its shell. Everything else is black, and then it has really long eyes (not extremely long, but much longer than say an emerald crap). The...

Girlfriend went to the LFS to get some more cleanup crew and she got a crab and forgot its name.... They had quite a few of them she said, I am just trying to figure out what it is and if its safe for our Reef tank.... The lady that helped her told it her should be fine and looked it up in a...
