    Thinking about starting a nano

    Hhehehe. Clam i cede your point with the lights but since his tank is so small it will be prone to rapid temperature changes and a heater can help to keep it at a base level at least. Running pcs over a tank like that will definitely need a fan while they are on.... I think they make even...

    Thinking about starting a nano

    Sounds good but you really only need about 5 watts a gallon to heat small tanks if that. So i would go with a 25 watt heater to save you a little space.

    can some 1 tell me what this is

    Anyway to control the Psuedo's Bang Guy??? Are they as bad as aptasia. I think they are kind of neat. Definitely different. I know they tend to grow in shady spots as well.

    Basics for a Nano?

    Dang. Just checked the site where i was thinking and they are up to 97 dollars plus shipping now. They used to be 75 dollars plus shipping. That was all summer. I guess they jacked the price up. Keep your eye out on ----. If you are doing a 10 then you need to look for a 20 inch fixture.

    still needing advice

    The books bison listed are a great start. If you want stuff on corals and inverts look into Julian Sprungs books. Great all around reference. If you want the motherlode on info look into getting the Bansch books. I think thats how you spell them. They are typical paper back size, but hard...

    Basics for a Nano?

    Which lights? The halides? Well i dunno. I can tell you, that you can keep clams under pc's, BUT the kind that will work will eventually be as big as your tank. Aside from that power quad light i was talking about i don't know of anything better for a 10 other than a halide pendant but those...

    Basics for a Nano?

    Well. If you have a glass top setup you can buy the new coralife power quad 96 watt lamp. Its about 80-90 dollars delivered to your door. With that you can do just about anything you want. If you want something a bit cheaper i know coralife also makes screw in pc bulbs. They are 10 watt...

    FLEAS!!! and Fish......

    Yeah it was.... I was scared as crap to bomb this place. As much as i've invested so far. I definitely DO NOT have the cash flow to replace one of my tanks.... But a full day later nothing has happened.....Very relieved.

    Clean up crew

    One other thing. I would ask maybe, but i've heard numbers of one cleaner per gallon.

    Clean up crew

    I wonder about some of those packages sometimes..... You don't need nearly that many hermit crabs especially since youll have 6 starfish? They will be quite large one day too. I personally would cut all those numbers in half and go with something like that. Its also dependent on the amount...

    Residual copper

    I second that. If you value your inverts don't even think about putting anything treated with copper into a virgin tank.....

    p philsila pora??? how do you say this?

    Oh i know it can be grown under vho and pc's. Im not disputing that. For the best color results though halides do the trick. It just depends on the too many factors to be a set rule though in my opinion. So i cede your point

    Any tips on catching fish?

    Short of taking out the rocks.... Its hard to catch a fish when he has hiding places. The trick is to get them in the corner with the net then trap them on the front of the glass. But as im sure you know they get around it quite a bit. If you jiggle the net a bit as they get in the corner it...

    p philsila pora??? how do you say this?

    pocillopora? Its a medium to higher light sps. If you treat it like an acro the color on it will be brilliant. For best results in color stick it under MH but it can live on PC or VHO. As far as placement it just depends on your light and the light its coming from. Try to match it with...

    I wanna see some pics!!!

    I personally would buy at least 20-30 lbs right off the bat. Get smaller pieces so you can be creative with the caves and arches. Thats what i do :) IE my 12 is attached. Its changed since then but you get the idea.
