    RO or DI

    i have a 60 gpd kent. i really like it and would recommend it. why you might ask? never had a problem and it puts out very high quality water very quickly.

    setting up a 20 gal nano

    nice tank! where did you get the blue zooanthids? what i was looking for was to not have a stand at all. just the tank sitting on my desk. makes it harder to have any filtration.

    I have crabs

    the loud popping noise could be a mantis. and if that is true, if will be fun for you to try to catch them. I would not assume that the crab is the killer. if the fish was killed the crab would then go over and munch on it. can you take a pic of the crab. other question what kind of LR...

    Bristle worm caught attacking snail!

    i would not have them, but it is your own tank as bang guy says. for some people they work. since i keep on finding them eating my mushrooms, I for one will not have them.

    setting up a 20 gal nano

    I was wondering on how feasible it is to set up a 20 gal nano reef using the eclipse hood. I have no prior experience with then, but i do have a few 20 gal tanks laying around taking up space. i know witht the lighting i can not do any hard corals, but i was thinking soft coral / mushroom...

    bulbs

    I agree with the URI. when i had 4 VHO's i ran 2 actinic blue and 2 actinic white. i kept the actinic blues when i switched to MH. have you already got your ballast. if not. the icecap 660. wonderful thing.

    How long, estimations, does it take for a DSB to start working?

    places do sell kits that seed the DSB. also, if you know any local reef keepers many will willingly trade ls or give you some. i noticed my DSB was happy with all kinds of worms and stuff at about 11 months. i did 1 part LS to 5 parts argonite.

    flow for 72 gal

    jumpfrog sounds like a good way to go. I would use a wave maker. only thing i would change. other than that remember that you have to set up your currents for how your rock is placed. use (his) tank as a guideline though. i honestly for some reason never thought to use different...

    Question about new tank set-up

    if you don't find it in the books you should have about 1.022- 1.025 ppm salt content in your tank.

    enough filtration

    your cleaner shrimp will also become dinner for the snowflake. eels just love those guys. it works in the ocean because the shrimp can run away and hide. in a tank. nowhere to go.

    Which Tangs work good together

    looked at your stats on the bottom, i'll post this once. 3 tangs in a 75 gallon is over crowding. not going to give a speech. here is why. they are free swimming fish, and they need alot of space to be happy. while they are small they will be ok, but as soon as they grow. . . and they do...

    compact refug

    nah man if i had a camera i would show you a nightmare!! my 2 sumps (they are connected with 1.5 inch through puts) so i have no place under my tank that is not being used. so thinking if i set a 10 gallon tank inside one of my 20-30 gallon (rubbermade) sumps. it may work.
