    brittle starfish

    I have one in my reef ~ he's great. We call him Mr. Personality because he likes to touch our hands if/when they are in the tank.

    Need light mounting leg assistance...

    Ok, so Im an idiot. I have two sets of Nova Xtreme HO T50's. The first set, I put the mounting legs on and set up over the tank. BEAUTIFUL. Since I didnt have enough room for my second set of lights at the time, I put it aside until I replaced my HOB with something more streamline and not...

    nano's for beginners. good or bad?

    I agree with Aquaguy ~ anything smaller than a 20 gallon and newbie might not be as quick to notice if things are going south ~ Also, in a 20 gallon immediate action can be more forgiving than in a 6 gallon.

    What is the water turnover in your tank?

    Hi Everyone, I was looking at swapping some equipment around in my 29 gallon tank and was calculating the water turnover and it would end up at 32.5x an hour (300gph + 300gph + 340gph = 940gph / 29 gallons = 32.5 ~ which I believe could possibly be overkill ~ LOL). So, as nano reefers, I...

    Moving...

    Newspaper is less likely to get stuck in the nooks and crannies of your live rock ;) When I downgraded my 90 to a 30 and moved it 30 miles away, I used a rubbermaid container and put all of my live rock I was keeping in it and put my live sand in a separate rubbermaid container. I had a small...

    Moving Cross Country

    good luck moving ~ I recently downgraded by 90 gallon reef to a 30 gallon and moved to another house 30 miles away. I think its great you have the coolers, but I would recommend at least getting 1 more. Keeping rock and fish together in 1 cooler ("separated" or not) scares me because all it...

    29g The Not So Nano... Nano

    Hey ~ could you take a photo of the top of your tank so I could see how you have the lighting set up? Also, do you keep an open top or is there grating to keep jumpers in the bay? I decided that I'm going to buy the lights you have. ;) THANKS!!

    Need help/suggestions for kind of new 29 gallon

    I just looked up nova extreme pro T5ho's and they dont come in 30". They have nova extreme x2 t5ho's though. What do you guys think of those?

    Need help/suggestions for kind of new 29 gallon

    Thanks! I would really like to have LPS corals like Gonopiora (sp?) and Elegance. We had upgraded to metal hallides in the 90 and everything was doing really good. I was wondering if T5HOs would work for the 29?

    Need help/suggestions for kind of new 29 gallon

    Hi Everybody, Its been forever since I posted here. I recently moved and had to take down my 90 gallon reef and squish what I wanted to keep into a 29 gallon set up. I used sand and rock from the 90 and put it in the 29, and kept my clown, lawnmower blenny, brittle star, and some crabs and...

    Gotta build a better fish trap...

    Ive tried that! I have let the net sit in the tank for a day and then put a frozen cube of brine shrimp to entice him (and all I netted was my lawnmower blenny). I tried to make a "new and improved" fish trap out of a couple of chinese food containers (the big plastic ones buy soup in - not...

    Gotta build a better fish trap...

    Howdy ya'll! I need to build a better fish trap. I have a tomato clown I want to swap out of my 90 reef to my now-ready 55 FOWLR. I attempted to make a 2-liter trap, but the fish is so big that the hole I had to cut to invert the top of the bottle into the bottom was futile because he could...
