When I go to get my first load of water, if anyone asks, I'll just smile mysteriously and tell them it makes the bodies smell less...I bet they'll leave me along after that! :D When I asked the LFS I went to yesterday about nano tanks with HQI, they told me there was no point to it, that if you...

I always check out the threads with new pics...I'm just so inexperienced I don't have anything intelligent to add yet! That starfish looks so neat...are there any stars that do well in our little tanks? :)

I really love your tank. What do you feed and what is your feeding schedule? I'm particularly impressed by your sun coral...I never see any with the tenticles out like yours. Is it a special type or is it just particularly happy in your tank? :)

Sorry about that...I'm trying to figure out how to edit it...I also made this mistake back in the beginner's forum, so once I figure it out, I'll go back and correct that as well. Thanks! There's no edit button on any of my earlier posts...only this one! Can a mod remove them for me? I have...

I'm trying to choose a good substrate for a nano reef tank. I'd like to use live sand, but I'm not sure if I should go for something very fine or something a little more chunky...Here are my top 2 contenders so far: A fine, live reef sand -or- A little grainier with a tiny bit of pink to it...

I hope they took all those fish out after they took the picture! Ok, I'm going to quit waffling and make a commitment to my first choice, the cool looking tank with the great lights and refugium. Now, I'm pricing some of the other necessities. (I want to be armed and ready when my ecomomic...

Well, I'm back from my first trip to the LFS and...I wasn't impressed. :( The prices seemed high compared to what I've seen online, the selection seemed limited and the tanks were covered in algae, more so than most of the tanks I've seen on here during their cycles. I don't know if that's how...

Well, as soon as my "economic stimulus package" arrives from Mr. Dubya, I'm going to go ahead and order the first one. I'm wondering what I could put in the refugium to help with filtration...everyone around here just seems to toss the bioballs...is there a reason for this? While I'm waiting...

I love the black sand...is that a live sand?

Then I think I'm gonna go with the first one. I also like how it looks...very modern. :D I think I'll order it tomorrow (payday...mmmm!) and I'll be sure to post pics when it arrives. So...my plans so far... My buddy is getting his tank shipped in 2 days and will be buying enough live sand...

Ok, so I'm planning to take the plunge! (Actually a coworker who is experienced with tanks is going to start a nano on his desk and I'm starting one on mine and we'll split rock and sand and such.) I'm trying to decide between the following 2 tanks: 12 Gallon with refugium - ************* Or 12...

That sun coral is SO awesome! :) It's nice to see someone come up with such a nice tank on their first try...it really makes me itch to get started in this hobby. Keep up the pics!

bump - Any suggestions? :)

Hello everyone! I guess this is kind of a cross-post since I posted something similar in the beginner's thread here. I am brand-new to aquariums and I'm in no hurry to run out and buy a tank without studying up. What I'd really like is a 14 gallon nano tank for work (since I'm always there)...

Sounds like an anemonie might be out, but that's ok. I'm really interested in a fire shrimp and some hermit crabs to start with and who knows...maybe some coral down the road? Yes, when I do move, which will be in 2-3 years, it will be about a 2 day drive. I'm hoping that I could do this with...

Let me start by saying, I'm a complete newbie to tanks of any sort and particularly saltwater, but I've always loved them. I haven't even bought a tank yet, but I'd like to start doing some research in preparation for one and I'm not sure where to begin. Here's what I have in mind: I'd like to...
