looks nice except for the dead coral. i always felt the dead corals look cheesy. but hey who the hell am I. if you like it that is all the matters

Originally Posted by Coral Keeper Nice tank! How many gallons is it? The only thing I do to my tank is, I feed my fish, 10-15% watcher changes a week, feed my suncoral ever so often and I think thats about it. Oh and, I also clean the front and side glass. lol thanks. one is 110 and the other...

thats all there is to it my friend. I think that 99% of the peoiple that throw in the towel and give up on reef kepping fall for all the crap being sold today. some of it does work and does have it's place but most of it also was never needed in the first place. I guess it just goes to show...

Originally Posted by Coral Keeper WOW! It looks very beautiful!! How did you get all that coraline to grow in your tank that fast?!? Ya know I'll be honest and say I have no idea why I get such good growth. From day one in this hobby 10+ years ago I have always had super fast coraline growth...

ditto on the above. with the 150 you can keep anythimg you want. the only restriction i would say would be some of the most demanding sps coral but even then they will live but might not keep the best of color. most will do great in both color and growth. of course this all assumes proper water...

cool. your going to love it. i thought i would never want a small tank after builing my large ones but i just started a nano and i love it. now i want a reef in every room lol

Ok here are a few pics like I said it has been set up now for around 7 weeksAdded some rock and sand on day one and let it sit for around a week before adding any live stock. A week is short yes but keep in mind the rock sand and water that went into this tank is now around 10+ years old. I just...

perfect IMO. most soft and lps along with some moti and stags will do just fine. the monti may not grow super fast like it would with halides but it will live and keep nice color assuming proper water conditions are kept not until you want to get into some higher end sps and a few select higher...

Hey guys. Well I have been in the big tank side of the hobby for quite some time and a few months ago I decided to buy a few smaller tanks just so I could have reef tanks in a few other parts of the house. For my first tank I chose the biocube 29 gallon. Now I have always seen all sorts of crazy...

although they mods are good and will help some people they are not needed that for sure. like said above a stock tank can have great success if proper care is taken. i have a bone stock tank otehr then adding a few nano power heads in the back and i have NEVER had any sort of problem. most of...

dont let them get brown. that brown is normlay a fungus or algae of some sort. keep them clean by blowing them off with a power head or even a very soft brushing will help alot. if left alone yes chances are most if not all will be lost.

thanks. gopt a few trade offers so far, feel free to shoot me an offer

pulled these from the frag house today and i am simply awe struck by them. IMO they are the nicest paly i have ever seen. so happy to have found them. the polyps are HUGE. i will be looking to make some trades for coral only no cash so if you like what you see feel free to shoot me a PM IE...

a fair deal but not a good deal IMO. you can get a biocube that size for the same or less sometimes and it is a better system

great start. as said above you might as well ditch the crab. those little guys get big fast and even as little guys they are quite the bulldozers and get under your rock work with ease causing a collapse. gl to ya
