    Please Please Help...all Fish Dead

    The tank is 2 years old, and has the standard JBJ 24 equipment with the addition of a modified hood to allow an extra light strip. The tank's temperature is right on target at 76 degrees. Again, all the levels are good...pH, am, ni, na, phosphates, salinity. There is no heater in the tank. I...

    Please Please Help...all Fish Dead

    I have a JBJ 24NC and I have lost all my fish. The coral in my tank are not looking great either but are alive. The snails and hermit crabs seem fine. I have tried putting new fish in and they die within in 48 hours...sometimes as soon as 12 hours. I have had all the tests done with both...

    24g JBJ 8 months old...lots of mods! Need everyone's Feedback!

    My mandrin eats like a champ! I've had him for about 4 months now, and he attacks the mysid shrimp I feed everytime I feed the tank. If you are interested in a mandrin, I would ask the store to show him eating mysid shrimp or brine shrimp first. If the mandrin eats at the store, then you know...

    Nano cube Lighting

    Here's my suggestion. I would go with the PC upgrade from nanocustoms, unless you are fixed on keeping acroporas. The MH lamps will cause too much evaporation every day, heat becomes an issue, and yes, fish will jump out. I tried this and my clown jumped out overnight. PCs will be great for...

    I did upgrade my powerhead also...the original powerhead is somewhat weak. I'm storing the heater, UV Sterilizer, and Protein Skimmer all in the back overflow boxes. If you are doing a reef tank, make sure to take out the bio balls and ceramic rings! I know this is a somewhat controversial...

    The blue tang was about 1" when i bought him. He's now about 2 1/2". Several articles I've read have said that when small, it is okay to house him. However, trade them in at about 2-2 1/2" for another tiny one. I've seen people do the same with yellow tangs. The key is to keep trading them...

    1 month old 24G JBJ Nano Dx...need some opinions! :)

    So more live rock for starters, but what types of corals would be good? Also what types of unusual fish? How about Pipefish? Dartfish? Mandrins?

    1 month old 24G JBJ Nano Dx...need some opinions! :)

    Thanks for your reply...I'm working on setting up a reef tank. Coral...how much more rock would you consider adding? 10 pounds? Would you continue to stack it higher? Tang...The LFS said that as long as the yellow tang is small, it will do fine. Once it get's bigger, in about a year, we'll...

    1 month old 24G JBJ Nano Dx...need some opinions! :)

    Would you like some opinions on my 24g JBJ Nano which is only a month old... I put 19 pounds of live rock, is that too much? How does the live rock structure look? After an initial diatom attack, my Ph, Amonia, Nitrate, Nitrite levels are all good, and the diatoms are dying out and green algea...
