    Zoas died...dunno why...

    Ok...so as the title says some of my zoas seemed to have died and I am not sure what's really going on. All of my corals are fine and open except this small isolated rock that I've had in my tank for about 4 weeks. It had a frag of about 7 polyps...and now they are all shriveled up and pretty...

    What would be the best way to...

    save my orange zoos from a gsp infestation? I like the gsp, but it grows very fast and I am not thrilled about them pulling a blitzkrieg on my zoos...now they are "enveloping" the zoo tubes and making them close. They look suffocated... So I read reefkprZ' post on how to frag zoos....lift the...

They were both roaming around the...

    Invertebrate help

    In everyone's experience, what is the best detritus cleaning invertebrate out there? I currently have 12 hermit crabs (2 red, 10 blue legged)...they seem to always be cleaning the rocks. And I have 2 Astrea snails...mostly hanging out on the glass and sometimes cleaning the rocks too. However...

    QT for nanos...

    Hey everyone...what size of QT do you guys go with? I am curious because if you are running a nano, I would expect the range of fish size to be rather small, and therefore smaller size QTs... I am trying to get a good feel for how to set up the QT for my own 20g...it's done cycling now and I...

    Help: Temperature issues

    Hi everyone, so I have started my 20g nano...it's been cycling for about 3 weeks now. I have 21 lbs of LR (from LFS), 20 lbs of LS, mixing IO salt. All my parameters have actually leveled off at: SG = 1.024 pH = 8.0 Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 5.0 dKH = 9, 161.1 ppm Ca 2+ = 280 The...

    IceProbe by CoolWorks

    Anyone have any experience with these aquarium chillers? I am considering one of these for my 20g nano since the AZ summer is almost here. I would like some feedback from anyone who has one and how you have mounted/installed it. I have a glass tank so drilling a hole for bulkhead installation...

    Diary for my 20 gallon tank...it's only been 3 days since I set it up so I am still waiting on the cycle. Brand new tank...I hate to do this, but near the window is the only place I can put it for now. I am anticipating some temperature issues because of this...any advice short of a chiller...

    Yet another question about lighting...

    Ok...so I am in the process of setting up my 20g tank and to upgrade the stock NO light I was considering a 24in Nova Extreme 4x24W T5 HO @ 10K/460 nm. My goal is to have a few hardy corals (zoas, leathers, etc) and eventually down the road have a BTA. But I wanna be ready for it all now while...
