Opinions on using a 175W MH 20K XM on a 10g? Heat will be an easy fix.

New digital camera + new corals + new lights = Nano Pack! System Specs: 0.75g Cube (Red Sea Deco Art) 13W 50/50 PC 16gph HOB w/o media Will be adding a 13W Actinic 03 to it shortly... Hope you like. My photo skills are brand new so plz be nice w/ comments about photo quality...;O)

I have a 0.75 g nano (The redsea thing) and I was thinking of taking out the HOB and using a PH instead. I was thinking of using the Mini-Jet 404 (I would prefer the Micro-Jet 320 but I think 34gph is a little too strong). The smallest setting on the 404 is 18gph and the HOB is 16gph (this can...

Does anyone have a pic of a zoo polyp or mushroom polyp that just formed? I have what appears to be a Zoo polyp that just formed in my tank, but it was on the otherside of the tank from what would be the parent colony. It's about 1/16" all around attached to a piece of sand. It looks a lot...

My 0.75g tank has a cyano problem. At first I thought the culprit was the large East facing window (duh). So I move the tank to the opposite side of the room away from the window to reduce the direct sunlight. I also thought I was giving it a WAY to long of a photo period (10-12hrs). The...

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but I was having a large cyano problem in my tank. I couldn't figure it out. I turns out I didn't have my intake tube pressed all the way down so the flow was being reduced a lot! Just wanted to give a head up to anyone who has to remove it to...

I'm looking to build a canopy or pendant (haven't decided) for a 70W MH (double ended HQI) bulb (w/ PC Actinic 03's). I've seen many recs for a UV sheild but no solid recs for what to use. Any suggestions? It will be for a 10g tank if the foot print of the design will have any effect on...

Does anyone know the aprox difference in the purity of RODI over RO water? I've been topping off my nano reef with bottle RO water from the grocery store, and I'm thinking that may be contributing to the alage break out in my tank, it's not a huge out break but i'm thinking the RODI would be...

I have a Red Sea 0.75g tank w/ a 7W PC (7200K). I'm not thirlled w/ the color so I'm going to upgrade it. I'm not sure which root I should go. Here are the ideas I've been considering: 1X13W 50/50 (10K/Actinic 03) 2X13W 50/50 " 1X13W 6500K & 1X13W Actinic 03 1X13W 10K & 1X13W Actinic...

Currently I'm running a 7W PC light (7200K) on my Red Sea 0.75g tank. I'm not thrilled w/ the color. I will be changing this to at least a 13W (maybe 2), but I'm not sure which root I want to go: 1X13W 50/50 (10K/Actinic 03) or 2X13W 50/50 " or 1X13W 50/50 & 1X13W Actinic 03 Would 26W...

I want to put a Sexy Shrimp in a Red Sea AquaVase thing (0.75g). I want opinions on if this is do able. I've already heard the "if you don't have an anemone..." lecture so plz spare me the details. I hardly ever read about anyone actually putting these w/ anemones anyway, and read many post...

I have two hitch-hikers that came in on my LR for my 3/4g nano reef. There are REALLY small feather dusters, similar to the "duster cluster" found on this site (under inverts). Should I be feeding them phyto? or not worry about it until I add coral (in about a week)? I'd really like to keep...

I'm looking to make an auto top-off system for my 3/4g nano reef. I'm loosing about 6oz of water/day with is ~15% of the total actual water volume in the tank. I've been adding water at ~3oz twice a day, but I'm looking for something to keep this more stable. Any ideas? I was thinking of...

I'm trying to find a way to put a moon light on a nano reef (approx 3/4g). Am I looking for the mcd intensiy level to determine if it will be right? I found one w/ 85mcd with a 470nm average and 465nm peak. Do you think this will work? Heres the link for all the info on the LED.

I would like to make on of these above tank refugiums. Does anyone have a plan/diagram on how to construct on of these? I'm hoping to pump H2O up to the tank w/ a PH and have it overflow back into the tank. For a container I'll probably use a rubbermaid w/ bulkhead fittings. Ideas/suggestion...

At my work we have these really small (less than 1in^2) 50W+ halogen lamps hanging over the work station. They appear to have only two little prons that plug into the balast. Light and balast together MAYBE 2" long and 1" wide. They are just hanging from the ceiling in a pendant. I was...

I'm trying to decide what the best way to go is. If you guys could also offer input for your decision I would appreciate it.

I'm planning a 20g nano reef, and I was just thinking about building a sump for the skimmer and refuge. Can anyone here suggest an overflow box that would be suitable for a 20g? The smallest I could find was about 300gph. Any suggestions would be helpful.
