Thank you all for the advice. Call it masochistic, but I think I may be stuck on using the hex. Not that I wouldn't love a standard 10gal, but my goal is to use the hex for something fun. The clip-on lighting seems to be the most reasonable, but some of the pendants out there look really...

I have some experience w/saltwater, I have a 12gal AquaPod. It is up, running. and I love it. I love it so much, I need more. I have a 10gallon hex that was at one time a FW tank. I has a stand, but nothing else. As with most of us, the budget is limited, so here's where I need some help...

Thanks for the advice. The dip sounds like a good ritual to get into, these things are too expensive to just replace. Yesterday I did my water change and in the process moved the polyps higher in the tank. I do use moonlights, and per your suggestion kept an eye on things. The only thing...

Some are closed, but others are just hacked up and shriveled. I did forget to mention that there is a small porcelain crab in there somewhere, though I haven't seen it in almost three weeks. Thank you again for helping with this. I have a couple of orange polyps that haven't opened yet and I...

1 Tomato Clown 1 Magenta Dottyback 3 Hermit Crabs 3 Turbo Snails 3 Nassarius Snails 1 Bubble Anemone (I had 5 hermits, two died/were eaten. The dottyback was seen carrying off half of one).

Here are the images I was talking about: Here are the yellows before: & After: As a nice contrast, here is my green softie (seems to be doing quite well) Thanks for any help you can give, —RJ

I have never seen a worm, but anything is possible. I'll post pictures tonight so you can see what I'm talking about, but in the meantime: It looks like something ate the "fingery" things from off of 4 or 5 stalks in the middle of the rock, but left the others completly untouched. It has been...

I added some frags tonight, hope to get pictures tomorrow. Any Word on the clown? Thanks, —RJ :thanks

Here's the newest member.. . I did a test yesterday and I had a significant shift in my KH it is now 36ppm. My Nitrate is also up to 7. I am due for a waterchange on Saturday. Should I test again after that or should I consider some sort of buffer. Also, the back of my tank...

Crossed and hoping. . . The anemone is on the move. From the front to the back right corner and half on the glass. This thing is fantastic! To keep the theme alive, here is yet another question: My dottyback is intent on moving as much sand as possible. At this point there is a gap...

Please say hello to m newest friend. . . any tips on encouraging a positive relationship with my clown? —RJ

I am in no position to give advice (I started my tank at the end of last month). It seems to be a more expensive initial investment, but the time, the process takes for setting everyhting up, allows for the money to be spread over a greater period of time. If you are looking at $150 for the...

Thanks, I tightened everything down and most of the noise is gone. The rest just seems to be typical. I had them start the display unit at my LFS, it sounds the same. Does anyone know what kind of inverts I may have luck with (I have been told that the Tomato Clown will eat most polyps and...

Another question for you: How loud are the fans in a AquaPod typically? When I turn on the white lights the fan kicks on and is sort of noisy. I know that the BioCubes are fairly quiet, so I am becoming concerned. Also, of the two vents on the top of the lid, air blowing much harder out of...

Well here are the updates: 1. Added 4 more lbs of cured Live Rock. 2. Added 5 Hermit Crabs. 3. Researchd BioSpira both online and in person. The online information was as expected, either advertisements or bashing. The in person inquiries were much more helpful, 5 total people that...

Thanks again. . . You folks are by far some of the most helpful I've run into. It looks kind of cool, if it won't bother things I think I'll leave it alone.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep a lookout for more, but I just see one now. Upon closer inspection it kind of looks like a centipede, there are many legs on each side of its body. I don't know if this helps, I'll try to get a better picture tonight. Thanks again, —RJ

Good point, thanks. I've taken some photos. . . if you can see it in the last one, on the lower left of the foreground rock (the red wormy thing) is this ok, or should I rid myself of it?

As luck would have it, I found 5 lbs of LR today. My tank is up and running. . . I plan on adding more LR on Thurday but not sure what to shoot for. I was thinking 12-15 total?

that's what I thought, I'll post some photos on thursday when things get started. Thanks again. . . :mrgreen:
