    Lights quick working

    I have JBJ 12 gallon nano cube. My light system totally quit working on Thurs. I ordered a replacement hood (not bad only $75). I'm hoping it will be here tomorrow (monday). Have I done permenant damage to the mushrooms in my tank? Shrimp and 2 clowns seem to be ok.

    Aliens kidnapped my Coral Banded Shrimp...

    Trying looking in the back of the tank with filters. Same thing happened to both my clowns. They must have some how swam over the top and in to the back section. They were quite happy that I found them.

    Is a power head needed?

    I have a 12 gallon nano cube that has been running for about 9 months. I've noticed that some hair algae has started popping up. Do you think adding a power head would help at all? I added a lawn more blenny and he's just getting adjusted. Did water change and used tubing to suck a lot of the...

    Coral Banded Shrimp

    Can I add another CBS to my 12 gallon nano tank? I have one who seems quite happy, but wanted another. Do you think one will kill the other?

    Lost power and tank crashed

    Well while out of town this weekend a circut breaker tripped and cut the power of to my tank. Lost a coral beauty and am trying to figure out if my anenome is dead. He still seems to have color, but he was just floating around on the bottom not secured with his foot any longer. :confused:

    How Do I Add Live Sand

    Does anyone know the best way to add sand to an established tank. I was thinking abot using a PVC pipe and pouring it down the pipe so that it wouldn't get scattered every where. Thanks for the help! :happyfish

    speaking of porous LR

    I was thinking about getting a SFE, but have an anenome which is on my sand bed. Do you think it work? I was just worried the SFE would run of the anenome and it get stuck or injured.

    Yeah, I moved it from the primer connection to the normal operating connection (they are side by side).

    Loud Skimmer

    I just bought a red sea protein skimmer (hang on) and it's very loud. It also sounds like it's sucking air from some where. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Like to trade coral for fish

    They are green polyps. They were re producing like crazy before I had to back off my lights. I'll get a picture this afternoon. The tank is 30 gallons. Is the Tang to big for that? It would just be him and a clarki clown.

    Is your lighting exposed?

    I just noticed I need to raise my lights due to "salt creep". Is it ok just to wipe the sale off the bulbs for now?

    Is your lighting exposed?

    I just upgraded my lighting to 96 watt power quad compact. The kit cam with just the bulb, ballast and reflector so the light is directly exposed to the water. Is this ok? My old retro right had a plastic cover that covered my PC's. Just curious.

    New light - Coral Suggestions?

    What I bought was a quad compact. It's really cool. It's got 4 - 18 inch bulbs. I just set it up today and it is _amazing_ the difference it made in my tank. I think my polyps said thanks a million!
