Nice pics. I am concerned about a couple of things though and forgive me if this has been covered somewhere already. One, what are your nitrates? Those bioballs scare me if you are housing corals. Secondly, what lighting are you running on this tank? Jesse BTW, those looks like...

Yeah I am concerned about the limestone too. If you want to keep it cheap just get a bag of dry fine reef sand. Rinse it well and you will be good to go. Jesse

This is a 12g right? An mj900 would do it. Jesse

Gotta disagree. You were correct in removing them. It isn't the stuff that builds up on them so much as it is that they lack an anaerobic area which doesn't allow them to break down the nitrates to nitrogen gas so you get stuck with an excess on nitrates. If this tank was set up today then...

Not to mention how dusty carbon can be... Jesse

I think that tank-raised Ocellaris clowns are sort of a hit or miss when it comes to hosting. I have read that BTA's and Ocellaris clowns don't come from the same area and thus they will less often host a BTA. I have heard that they will host Heteractis magnifica, but I wouldn't suggest that...

Really? LOL, my clown must think I am a jerk! I only feed every couple of days and once in a while he might go close to a week without being fed. Just a warning about fish, especially clowns. They will ALWAYS appear hungry. They'll come swimming up to the surface and an beg and try to...

Thanks for sharing newb! Handsome kid... great pics! Time to bump this thing! Please share if you haven't already. Jesse

Yeah it is generally a bad idea to put more than one clown in a tank unless they are a mated pair... especially in a nano. Like Cris said, super agressive. I had one with a rose bubble tip anemone and that thing wouldnt let me near the anemone without taking a shot at my hand. They are...

Here is a little bit better FTS Cris. This is the one that I'll email you full size... Jesse

If it is like most other all-in-one tanks it should come on when the light is on. There may be a loose wire or something. Have you taken the lid apart? BTW, :welcome to nanotank.com! Jesse

Yeah IMO that is way too much. How deep is the tank top to bottom? Is it 16" or 11"? You might want to look into T5HO's for that shape tank. You arent looking at the Odyssea fixtures by any chance are you? I would suggest avoiding those as there are quality concerns there. What kind of...

In my tank thread, here you go... Jesse

Just FYI... there are a couple remaining 70 watt Astralux lamps. They are actually $49 shipped now. Bear in mind that you might not be able to get your hands on these much longer! CLICK HERE for Astralux GB Jesse

Yeah the hose should fit on the output of the MJ900. It will fit in the rear compartment. You can look at the pics of my tank to see where I have the Koralia and where it is aimed. I have it half way up the left side directed towards the center of the front glass. I mounted to the false...

Here are some photos that I took last night while visiting Cris and his family. Cris, Sandy and I had a great time. Your tank looks awesome. You guys are great! McKenna is growing up so fast. Jesse

The stock pumps in the tanks are usually junk. I would suggest replacing it with a Maxi-Jet 900. It is much more reliable and will most likely run cooler. The Koralia nanos are great are wont be too much flow. I run one along with the return pump in my 12g with no problems. I would highly...

We'd love to have you! According to mapquest, if you started driving now you will be here by 5am saturday morning... assuming you drive straight through, no potty breaks! THat will give you enough to to nap, eat some carne asada, and return home 6pm sunday. See you there! :lol3: So Cris...

Steady hands, image stabilization and I try to use walls and other sturdy objects to stabilize the camera. Some of the close-ups I actually use the tank itself... i put the lens right up square against the tank and sort of cup my hands around the camera so that my hands are also resting against...

I know huh? LOL! I took all of these pictures with my Panasonic, hand held, no tripod. A majority of those shots were taken at 1/4 to 1/2 second exposure speed... really quite slow. I took them in bursts of 5 frames and just hoped one or two of the five were clear. Obviously they were! I...
