    SPS in nanocube?

    I was thinking that the lighting might not be w huge issue because of how close they will be to the light. i figure the farthest any will be away is about 6 inches. I def cant handle growth that is too rapid or they can and will easily outgrow my tank. I know of a local that sells acropora...

    lighting questions

    the needing of a chiller is dependant on the type of lighting you use and size of tank. i like power compacts a lot and unless you get a lot fo them they dont usually bake yer tank

    Latest Salt Craze?

    the sarcasm seems unfounded :-/ many bacteria can form spores to get through rough times, then open again when conditions are favorable for growth. I figure they prolly just capsule it up until they got food again
