About a week or so ago I found a tiny piece of orange digitata that broke off of a colony that is long-gone. I got rid of the mother colony about 2 or 3 months ago, but somehow this piece managed to stay alive half-buried under sand since then. So I mounted it and it appears to be doing...

Do you plan on drilling the tank or having an overflow box? You can drill the bottom (if it isnt tempered) and have a durso standpipe, or you can drill the back and have an external durso. Check out this link... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.p ... opic=69372 Also I would spend...

Check out nano-reef.com's lighting forum. I have read through several threads over there regarding the LED topic. Also reefcentral.com has several large tanks with LED lighting. If I recall correctly, I think Current USA is coming out with an LED fixture soon?? They are really quite amazing...

They come in all shapes and sizes... Pycnopodia helianthoides have many many legs... http://www.rosario.wwc.edu/inverts/Echi ... LC2000.jpg ... as do Lamprometra palmata... http://www.saltvannsakvariet.no/images/ ... ar%202.jpg Stars are some of the most fascinating animals aout...

I have to suggest NOT keeping a clam of any kind in a nanocube with only power compact lighting no matter how many PC you have. The reason being that the lumens/watt on PC is soooo low and they are very inefficient in that over half of the light emmitted doesnt even make it into the tank. I...

Yeah you really cant keep any corals with that light. That is the main problem with the Eclipses too is that you can really even upgrade the lighting. I would suggest thinking about a small goby or two, a few small inverts and that is about it. Are you using live rock in the tank? If so, I...

I would be a little cautious with a flame hawkfish because even though they are one of the least agressive hawkfishes, the may be aggressive toward smaller, passive fishes. With the scooter blenny, make sure it is eating prepared foods before you buy one. They are grazers of arthropods similar...

Yeah I did notice the tips being a little roughed up but that should recover pretty quickly. I corrected the name for the "blueberry tipped staghorn"... dont know how I messed that up! I have been giving them full exposure to the Blue plus lamps and a couple hours exposure to the...

Here are some pictures of the SPS frags I received from the very generous JohnandDawn on Wednesday. 1) We think it might be an A. Nasuta 2) ORA rose Millepora 3) ORA yellow Millepora 4) Wild-caught tri-color A. Valida 5) ORA Chip's Acropora 6) Live Aquaria "blueberry tipped...

Well what sort of lighting do you have, what sort of filter do you have, how long has it been set up, etc. The more info the better then we can go about suggesting things. Jesse

Nice pictures! The damsel with get territorial with age. The older they get the meaner from what I have heard. Similar thing with the clown too. IME though, the maroon clowns get really nasty once they begin to host an anemone. Jesse

Just make sure you are feeding a good LIVE filter feeding food like DT's phytoplanton or some other refrigerated microplankton food. I dont know too much about these guys, but havent heard many great success stories. Is his "mantle"flashing at all? Jesse

every 2-4 weeks would be my suggestion. Jesse

That tank could not support more than one small goby or something similar. I would hesitate to even house one damsel in that tank. If you are looking to keep a FOWLR tank (fish-only with live rock) then I would suggest looking at something like a 20g high tank. You could use a simple HOB...

I wouldnt suggest having any mudibranch in a home aquarium. We do not actually know what many of them actually eat and they often die rather quickly in our tanks. I know it can be very hard to resist, but please do. IMO, LFS should not even stock them. Jesse

Kid nano... this is all i was really trying to say... I just couldnt say it as eloquently! LIke I said before too, I dont think this system can hurt anything, I am just skeptical of the claims being made. That said, i wouldnt stop you from trying at all. Obviously people have success with...

How long has the nanocube been set up, did you use fully cured live rock, are you testing the water parameters, ie nitrates, nitrites, ammonia? The hermits shoudl be okay, the crab as well. Depending on how far along the cycle is, the feather dusters should be too. I would test the water...

How is your sponge doing Kapenta Kid? I have seen those before at a LFS and they are really cool. Jesse

Those are great rics you have Semo... really nice pictures too. Jesse

Oh wow! That is really nice John! What an incredible piece. Jesse
