I think a non-agressive damsel is an oxymoron. There are but differnt shades of agressivness with them. I have seen tiny java damsels tear up fish three times its size, but yet again I have a freind with a large velvet damsel that is the whipping boy of his agressive tank. Its all relative. I...

The lower kelvin ratings do a great job on refuge's. 5500k should get you better algea growth then the 50/50.

May be an obvious question, but you don't have a heater in there currently, right? In my expeirence with small tanks, espcially those nano cubes, the pump has not been enough to keep it running that hot. In fact most of the people I have helped with them need a heater to keep their temp above...

Each and every time I find one of my cleaner shrimp has molted I do a freak out for a few min's untill I find them. And I have had them for over year, and once a month or so... well it gets me everytime. They are endearing little buggers.

Do you have excessive saltcreep around or near your skimmer?

We have an 8'x3'x3' and four 400wat MH barly do the job, this being fish only. I would recoment 10-12.

Get the generic cleaning crew (hermit crabs, more snails, shrimp, maybe a brittle star or urchin), as far as more exotic inverts go, wait a while before you add any. 2mo's is still a very young tank. Your water parmaters maybe fine now but they may not have been when you added the damsels, that...

In small tanks like this, make sure to look at surface area to. You can get a 15lb clunker of a rock and be no better off then if you got a gorgeous hollowed out 5lb'er. Quality of the rock is paramount in nano's.

I had no idea there where so many people from Kentucky, I thought I was alone...

Clownfish can host to most anything. Make sure of the technical species of false percs. Often I have seen Polyumnus (SP?) clowns labled as false percs, these have not spawned in captivity for anyone (they are also black/white with an orange/yellow mask that does not go away). Just an FYI.

Its the fricken' ocean, it can do what ever it wants! Including having 0 nitrates. But really consider the amount of gas exchange and total volume of water, comparitivly I bet the bio-load is fairly low.

First, it depends on the ballast set. I have seen several Ice Cap sets that come with the wiring harness and end caps... and serveral that don't. Check the receipt, or your order list it should detail whether it does/doesn't. As has been posted before, VHO's have an excellent actenic color. I...

Even if it is freswater, Oscars are south american ciclids and can attain a size near 20"!!!! even young and small they release a ton of ammonia as they are very dirty fish (heavy bio-load). All that be as it may, even four tiny osacrs is way to many fish fro a seven gallon tank. You got hosed...

Get it with a high-gloss though, it handles the moisture better.

breaking those flourescent tubes rocks. It is the first thing I do when a bulb burns out on my freshwater tank.
