How much does iodine usually cost? Is it a ton or pretty cheap?

is the cheato going to be located in the DT or a fuge? If located in the DT I would leave the light cycle alone, around 12 on - 12 off. If run in a fuge I would let the DT lights run for 12 hours and the cheato light for the other 12.

Thanks all, I cant wait to get everything. Tomorrow night I will post some pics of everything!!! Im planning on getting a few really nice rics as well so thats a big plus! Tonight I have to prep for the new additions and have a crap ton to do, all while still maintaining a social life.

Thank you! I sure am trying! Lets see how I do with all these corals now. Thats gunna be the challinging part.

they mulitply quickly if nothing is eating them...lol. If there isnt a threat to them being eaten then you will notice a ton in your tank, especially at night.

Swap is tomorrow! Im probably gunna bring a few extra $$. I never know what i just might NEED!!

agreed! Totaly benifitial!

I will let you know when I get there. Would you like a hint or the answer?

No problem! I think you will find the cheato very benifitial and a GREAT addition to your tank. It removes or lowers phosphates and nitrates, is accepted by some fish as food, and provides a great spot for pod flourishment... what else could you ask for?

An RO is definitly handy to have around. Im sure you know chlorine will evap. out of water within 24 hours anyway if you have a good flow. Does the stress coat provide any benifit to fish at all? Sorry if I am hijacking.

Does anyone do this? In the past I have just taken a few 5 gallon drinking water drums to the grocery store. Well I dont have those any more and was wondering if it would be odd to bring in 2 5 gallon buckets and fill them up with water. It seems like it might be slightly akward and people might...

The cheato will be fine with the lights right now imo.

cheato does not need that much light to thrive. Of course with more light you will find more growth though. A lot of people just go to home depot and buy a small compact fluorescent and fixture for cheap. You can get a [hr] in(the word I tried to use was filtered out... lets just say a turn...

I find that nass. snails are the coolest, nicest, and most effective part of the clean up crew. They dont pick on anything and they eat poop... what else could you ask for from a cleaner? lol

I would have to go with a wrap around the room hawiian themed tank. All fish found native to hawaii. Of course a mix of black and white sand and black lava live rock mixed in with reg. live rock. Hawiian dragon eel, humahuma trigger, hawiian yellow tangs, hawaiian puffer. No coral, just some...

I bet. Not very appealing to look at. What about a breathable material that you can set over the tank... like a bug net for a bed.... heck, you could even buy a vail type material. Seems like this would be easier and almost healthier for the tank if you just throw some cloth over the top at night.
