Check back on the site, they usually have a PDF installation guide for each kit.

I checked that out but unfortunately there aren't any instructions or PDF files included. But thank you for the suggestion

 

[zigster]

try nanocustoms

 

[marlins76]

I just checked nano customs and an illustrated set of instructions was actually there! thank you so much zigster, I really appreciate it

well my clean up crew has done a great job on my tank so today I added a frogspawn frag and nuclear green zoa frag as well. im hoping to put in my first fish sometime within the next week or so

hey guys im not really sure how many of you out there can help me out with this but ive noticed my sand has some weird discoloration in certain areas (some spots are green and some are red). I think its time I boost up my clean up crew.
Any suggestions on what specifically I should add? Ive thought about getting a small conch? Any opinions? however I cant seem to find one in any of my LFS (I live in Fort Lauderdale but also spend a lot of time in Miami). Anyone know one where I could easily find one?

I noticed the other day that I have small, white bubbles growing by the hundreds on the rocks in the back of my tank. I have no idea what they may be or if I need to get rid of them. I know for sure that they are not gas/oxygen bubbles. They look like they may be eggs but i'm not entirely sure about the validity of that assertion. Any ideas?

post pics of the white bubbles

 

[jon_fiasco]

ne reason y your is marlins...?

 

[marlins76]

I've tried taking pictures of the white bubbles but they are so small and my camera is so lousy that they really dont show up in the pictures
And my username has "marlins" in it because i'm from south florida and i'm a big florida marlins baseball fan

Just wanted to get some opinion on this. My tank is probably 3 and a half months old right now. So far, I have a Fasle Perc, a Green Chromis, and a Firefish. Eventually, (in the near future) I want to add a Yellow Watchman Goby and Green Clown Goby to the mix. Would this be too much for a 24 gallon tank? Both gobies are fairly small. Any thoughts?
