Here is the info on this: The parallel reflector is designed to mount parallel with the front of the tank using fluorescents. It is made with 95% reflective aluminium and will put about 25% more light into the tank than a standard flat sheet of reflective metal. The reflector puts the florescent...

Hey Guy/Gals I just have a quick question for you. The basic story is that I am thinking about setting up another tank. Most likely 30gals (in know this is on the edge of nano but still). The thing is that I am gonig to be building that entire thing for scratch, ie no all in one kit. I am...

Last one for now... this is the mardrine... who I have recently named "Magical Mystry Fish". This one will feed on frozen Mysis like i said in my other post. I am currently working to get it nice and fat after it came quite skinny for the LFS.

This was and accident, but I think it looks cool:

My magic 'shrooms at night under my moonlight:

And a shot of the hood:

To address the lighting question this is the current set up: 1x 24watt 50/50 daylight/actinic 1X 32watt daylight 10000K White PowerCompact Bulb (Sunpaq) 1x 32 watt 50/50 actinic (Sunpaq) This will bring be to 88watts of power for the 12 gallon tank. Or about 7.3 watts per gallon. Here is a...

Cliff No actually the madrine is still in there... I am currently in the process of fattening it up. I have found that the thing love to eat frozen Mysis.. that I mix with a drop of Kent Garlic Extreme. I know it was said before that it was uncommon for the Madrine to eat prepared foods but my...

My little mushroom garden. This Rock also has at least two small dusters on it (meaning ones I have found) and some cool zoos on the other side.

In the back you can see my Hammer Coral. This thing is really fun to watch, especially when it decides to reach a tentecle or two half way across the tank.

I just wanted to through up some new pictures and see what people thought after my lighting upgrades and a few new additions to the tank: First let me start off with a whole tank over view:

I have moved the BTA out from between the rocks and exposed him to more light. I don't know if he is really that sick looking... looking at a picture of a BTA on this website it looks about the same. I am thinking in a few days he will be even better.

One of my crabby little friend playing king of the montain:

Here is a night time shot:

Well here is a picture of my updated lighting. It took me about 4 or 5 hours to get this right. The problem was just getting everything to fit in there neatly. I go from Day light bulbs in the front to actinic to the back.

I am just posting to let those who were concerned that I have decided to do a major overhaul on my tanks current lighting system. This will bring my lighting to: 1x 24watt 50/50 daylight/actinic 1X 32watt daylight 10000K White PowerCompact Bulb (Sunpaq) 1x 32 watt 50/50 actinic (Sunpaq) This...

The BTA has been in there for 3 or 4 weeks, I can't remember of the top of my head. I originally tried to get him to sit up on top of the LR so that he can get light and so that I can feed him easier... but he moved himself down between the rock and doesnt seem like he wants to come out. Every...

Flat... You are right she is on the skinny side... but that is how she came from the LFS. I am working on fattening her up... she has only been in there a few days so there is not much I can do in that amount of time.

Well i am guessing your response to the mandrin is due to the tank size and lack of microalgea for it to feed on. If that is the case I have two comments. One would be this particular mandrin eats dried and frozen foods, you just have to take special care to get the food to it, and second I am...
