Hmmm would a video help? I can probably get a good video shot later.

I have a Nikon D7000 camera, but I just can't get the focus right zooming in. I don't have a macro lens or I could get really close. 1800 dollar camera = Nice Too dumb to use it = Priceless :laughing:

Maybe NikeSB, I bought this one a few months ago pretty small. It has grown a bit since then. BTLDReef's looks green to me. Maybe I am color blind :rotfl:

I don't really see any gold flecks in it. However it looks identical to a gold torch from the pictures I looked up. My lights have actinic bulbs, so it is tough to tell. Maybe just a brown tentacles torch with white tips

It will just cone back after you vacuum.

It all sounds good to me. If you are getting a hang on back filter, get the aqua clear brand and keep the porous media bag in there for your bacteria bed. Live rock will add filtration from a biological standpoint, but you still need something to catch larger particles and that is where your...

You should be able to keep anything under metal halide lighting. You will have to be careful in that 44 that you do not position the light too close to the water. One is the heat concern as the MH will heat up the water quickly unless you have a chiller. That is if it is very close. The...

The positioning can affect the sand blowing. If you point them all downward you will get that. I would put one in the middle of the glass (level wise) and point it toward the surface a bit. The other I would have flowing toward the bottome-middle. The third I would have bouncing off the...

For the heater, I would use the ViaAqua Titanium tube heaters. They are excellent heaters and have the external box temperature control. They are very reasonable priced as well. I bought a 100w for my 14g nano for around 40 bucks. I have a larger one on my 55g reef tank as well, both keep...

Hey All, I am pretty sure this is a torch, however, I would like some other opinions :laughing: I have another torch that is green with lighter colored tips, this one I am not so sure about as it does not have the base that the other torch has. This seems to come out similar to an anemone, but...

Rofl! I hope everything is attached to rock! I don't see how you keep your sand down. Are you using power heads or is that the flow of the filter? My sump has a 700gph pump, but it is going upwards of course so it slows the flow at output. If I counted all my returns, etc. I would have well...

Hmm, let me try that pic thing again....

Hey All, I posted some pics a while back of my 55 gallon set up and wanted to post some of the new Nano set up. It is the Oceanic 14g Biocube. I have changed the sump pump to the 900 series for a little more output. I also added the visatherm 100w heater which works like a dream. I added...

I don't think you necessarily have too many fish or corals, but from the looks of that tank, maintenance is not your strong suit. You can tank a tank with 2 fish in it, over feed them, and let the maintenance go for a couple of months and have what you are dealing with. Three times a week...

1 Watt would be all he would need in that Nano tank. I would say around 10-12 1 Watt LED's would fix you right up, might even be too much.

It will be WAY too much, trust me. I have the Koralia 3 in a 55 and it is almost too much for it. The Koralia 3 is 850 gph and like I said, too much for a 55. I have an Oceanic 14 Biocube, I upgraded the sump pump to the 900 series and it puts out quite a bit. Now I am going to add the...

Thanks for the responses! I have pristine water conditions. I have read that they do well in high nitrate water, but I have 0 nitrates. I put a lot of time and money into my system and I check it and maintain it daily. I feed cyclops, reef snow, etc. All of my corals have grown and...

]Ok, So my tank is about 2 - 3 months old. I bought two small Xenia and they have grown out of control in pristine water. I have two Xenia that are still the size of a softball, both of them. They have started fragging themselves like crazy until I had to buy a rack and frag kit today. So...

I have a Wavepoint T5 HO's 4 bulb 56w each with reflectors. You can keep anything with these lights, the placement of the corals is the key.

Welcome to the hobby and the boards. I have a firm opinion on this. You should never start saltwater unless you are willing, and can afford, to do it right. I don't think their is really any skimping on the costs. I have done it the cheap way and it ends up costing you more in the end when...
