Originally Posted by NEreef this has little to do with your cycle, since the bacteria lives, for the most part, on the hard surfaces of the tank (rock, substrate, etc.) The cycle produces the bacteria that control the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. They do "dwell" on hard surface. In LR...

55 Fish/Seahorse 20 long breeder (hopefully) that is cycling 2 gal FW with auquatic frog empty 10 gal 350 gal pond

Caulerpa is the marine equivalent of crabgrass. You have to keep it in check or it will take over. It roots in the substrate and also in the LR. Takes up time you could better spend elsewhere. Yes, I have some.

Originally Posted by cajamajo I was wanting to keep a few soft corals, and a seahorse. What protien skimmer do I need to get? I dont have a sump, will it work without one? should I do a water change now? If you put a seahorse into a freshly cycled tank, you will have to feed it 2 or 3 times a...

No other options? Off. Keep your shades up for whatever ambient light they can get. Not what I would wish for them...Do your best.

My LFS has a few "remnant" cubes that he keeps for a "your choice $5", "your choice $10" etc...very cool. Little pieces of zoo and ric and what-not that he has fragged.. In good conditions, they do grow quickly. Zoos are probably the simplest to grow? May seem slow, but after 3 years of the same...

jpa, that mandarin!! He is the healthiest looking, bright eyed! Bravo! Teviesfish, I'm trying to gain the status to have the first reef only tank at my office. It is another peaceful world. I love your nano system. Children should be so lucky.

One thing I have noticed is that folks in florida have tanks with the MOST amazing color.. OMGosh. I don't believe in coincidence. Not ever. Sweet.

Originally Posted by Oceanists Nice Tank , I see that Sea Horse, do you have any problems with the sea horse , Im thinking about adding one to my tank If you have a knitting needle, then stand that on the table, put a plate on it, spin gently, add mysis. I'll post a thread (?) in fish...

Originally Posted by rebeccabut Cycling is what my tank is all about right now. (exciting, huh) Yep, very. That rockwork will be great to decorate with corals?!

Originally Posted by khoi29 Thank you for that info, but the stalk on the xenia look like it pinch One of my stalks is doing the same, and yes, I think he is trying to relocate. That's a slow process! There are two large and one small stalk on the same rock. The largest moved over and now the...

I'm hoping for a sort of log of everyone...I know you can!

Have you tested your calcium levels?

Your bad? Our treat! I LOVE it.

Okay, how about your one favorite photo of your system, or the one that shows best what it's about for you. I'll go first. It's about places to hide..though they never do!

It puts mine to shame. Just wonderful!

With that much room there are some fish choices that I know nothing about, being a 55 gal. The maturity of the environment will make some difference, but again :notsure: The chromis school is a nice touch in any tank and I know some of the folks with the larger systems do keep them. The...

When I had my BTA he also did this, though not on a schedule. The clown that hosted him would swim over and nudge him (vigorously!), it drove him nuts when the anemone was closed up. I'm not sure if that is how they rest, or what, but I'm pretty sure it's normal. What are tank params and...
