Hello! I've had my 24 nano for a year or so now, it's ever changing so don't exclude corals just yet. Wow...hope it's a teeny tiny trigger, lol. Weekly maintenance has been key to keeping my tank running smoothly...other than that it is really stable and easy IMO. :)

Welcome! I just got back into my 24 jbj, love it. Can't leave it...lol. Pretty packed in there already, huh? Are those colt corrals on the left and right of your tank?

Mmm, will this fit ou JBJ's?

Krill is great, try to find some mysis too, they go bonkers for that stuff.

It depends how intense your lighting is and how demanding the coral is... Usually, once you pick a spot, you should leave it for a few weeks or only move it laterally to lessen acclimation stress. Up and down forces it to adjust to "different" light intensity. If I see it's safe to, I...

Good question, i'd like to know too~ :)

Actually 72w will suffice. Lots of people keep the stock lighting, user jennybugs does, she's got a really hopping tank. :) How'd you acclimate them? Sometimes it can take days up to weeks for corals to adjust. I drip acclimate all my sensitive critters. I have a coralife digital power...

That's wise. Just watch the fishies, they tend to act differently once they get comfy. :) What do you feed?

I got my upgrades from nanotuners.com I upgraded the fans, added another 36w bulb and had the moonlights separated from the balast control. All the equipment was around $170ish if I recall right. I had a new LFS offer to install it for $50, took them 3 days, quite sure it should have been a...

Unless you plan on going fish only, I would keep at least some daylight in there. Although actinic plays a role in some photosynethetic processes, daylight will be the primary contributor. I have a 24 dx as well, I had an upgrade which independently controls 2 sets of bulbs. Ironically, I...

What is that coral behind the algae rock in the pic?

Pygmy Angel? Mmmm, that may be a bit much for all the stock you have now. The 6 line and royal gramma alone, are quite territorial. I'd go with a cleaning crew first...

Hmm, the bigger you go with any aquaria, the better. As for the Red Sea Max 250, looks like a great tank. If you don't want it, give it to me! :)

Sounds like brown hair algae. Actually likes high flow... Physically siphon out and watch water quality. As for spider webs, can be some sort of worm or vermetid snail, relatively harmless. There's something else at work here.

Those small gobies are kewl. I have a yellow one. However, can't get'em to eat well. :( Let me know if you find the "trick". I try rotifers, cyclops, and mini mysis... :bash1:
