    Horticultural MH?

    ReefNut: removed the link! I am still not used to the idea of not being able to include links in the posts...oops! Thanks! Do you guys have any recommendations on what kind of bulb I should get if I replace the bulb I have but use the same ballast? Thanks, Dudah

    Horticultural MH?

    I have a metal halide lighting system that is 400w. It has a Sylvania 400w Metal Arc bulb in it currently. I originally bought this system about 3 years ago for horticultural use. (no! not THAT kind of weed!!!). I am going to get a new tank, not sure what size yet, need to save some $$$. But I...

    Id please!!

    Yes! I would have to agree. It seems it is brown cup coral (Paracyathus stearnsii). I have the Invertebrates book by Sprung and the Aquarium corals book by Borneman. in the invert book it did not match any photos of the Aiptasia or related. And in the Corals book I could find nothing that...

    Id please!!

    It does not appear to have a "stalk" like in the photo you included. And the tentacles are much shorter. I will try to get a better photo. Thanks, Dudah

    Id please!!

    Can anyone tell from this photo what this is? I know it is kind of a blurry photo, but considering the size of the specimen (about 1/16" !) it is hard to get a good photo. I will try to get a better one. I am hoping this is not Aiptasia sp. :D I am going to let it get bigger (assuming it...

    Looking for tank in Arizona

    New 10 gal Nano tank

    I am serious about cc but there is one thing you should know. The cc I have is fairly small (about .5-2mm diameter). It is not the traditional cc that you buy as decoration in a fish only tank. I got it for some variation in my sand size. So I have a mix of silt-sized all the way up to about...

    "Feeding" LS/LR

    Do you suggest adding any shrimp or anything while I wait for my system to get as mature as possible. Or should I just let it "grow" for a while. Also, if I don't add any other livestock to the tank is there any danger that the ls/lr could "die"? Dudah

    "Feeding" LS/LR

    I have read that Eric Borneman and others use some sort of feeding system to keep his LS/LR healthy. They mention using some sinking pellets to feed the organisms in the LS. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what I should use to do this? Dudah

    Rio Power head

    Anyone have noise problems with Rio powerheads? I have a Rio 800 and it is making a "rattling" sounds. I have taken it apart and cleaned it to see if there was any sand in it. That did not work. Any suggestions? Dudah

    New 10 gal Nano tank

    The CC is not much bigger than the live sand so the settling will hopefully be minimal. But if it does happen that is where different types of bacteria will live (hopefully). In the deeper sections of sand there will be no or little oxygen and different organisms will thrive there (similar to...

    New 10 gal Nano tank

    Originally posted by michelle13 Why don't you want to run a skimmer? I would think you would need one in a tank this small?? Correct me if I'm wrong! I have read in some books and posts that as long as you have enough LR and LS in your tank it will provide enough filtering. It is supposed...

    New 10 gal Nano tank

    I have just recently (2 days ago!) set up my tank (see specs in my signature below). I have several questions: 1) Since I have added mostly live sand, cured live rock, and sea water how long will it take my tank to cycle? Will it even cycle? 2) What can I expect to see while it cycles...
