If the XM is a 20,000k lamp, you may want to choose a different lamp. The XM 20,000k is one of the lowest output lamps out there. That being said, the Aquamedic pendant is sweet and would be the way to go if you wanted to try SPS. Remember though that lighting is the easiest part of keeping...

I would just question the effectivness of the skimmer and also the tank is rather shallow from front to back which can make it a little difficult to aquascape. Aqua-medic is generally a good brand though. Jesse

Nice pictures. I suggest that you get that crocea closer up to the lighting. That is a long distance for that 150 watter to penetrate. Jesse

I apoligize if it seems your post was being ignored... sometimes it does take a day or two on a smaller site like this. Other than that, I think JOhn covered it pretty well. Jesse

This is exactly how I got one of my croceas from Edgray... his bicolor was picking at the mantle. For him, it was easier to take the clam out than it was to catch the blenny. Hope you can figure out a way to get the blenny out. Jesse **edit** If this clam is under the stock lighting in...

Oh wow... even cooler. I can imagine how tough that could be to get a picture of. Jesse

You do some awesome work on your setups... I read through your other thread on nr.com... great stuff. Keep us updated on this tank's progress! Jesse

Those yasha goby/shrimp pairs are freekin sweet... love 'em. Great frags too, BTW. Jesse

Agreed. Jesse

I have a YWG and I wouldnt consider him a sand-sifting goby. He only really sifts the sand when he is hungry. I agree that nssarius snails would be your best bet. Jesse

I agree with Trogdor, but I would also scrub it really well with a brush to get off as much of the leftover dead materials as possible. Jesse

Every once in a while a small bubble or two could be coming down into the chamber, couldnt it? Jesse

I actually got an acrylic 40B and started cleaning it up a bit. I found little scratched here and there, then I think I scratched it in the process, then I began to think about the time and effort it would take to buff it out and just didnt want to go down that road. I ended up selling it and...

:thanks everybody! I really enjoy this site and I try to help out as much as I can. I truly love the group here on nanotank.com... it just feels like home! Jesse

I may be picking up several SPS frags tomorrow, so Ill post pictures if I do. In the meantime, I figured I'd post some pictures I took today! I finally got a somewhat decent picture of my clow... these things are next to impossible to shoot! Next are some candy canes I got from...

Usually reverse lighting schedule is the best... most macros require a "rest period" and it will also help to keep a more stable pH. Jesse

Re: Galaxia A problem???? Bubble corral seem like it is dyin Some of the longest and most aggressive sweepers.... true. Are they in close proximity to the galaxia? Do you have any pictures? BTW, :welcome to nanotank.com! Jesse

WOW! Your tank looks amazing! More pictures!! Jesse

I personally suggest smaller, more frequent water changes as opposed to larger less frequent changes. I used to do about 30% every two weeks or so, but I have recently gotten in the habit of doing a 1g change everyday. So far it is working very well for me. There have been studies done... and...

1 1/4" is the least restrictive... the 3/4" is the most restrictive. Check out this link... http://www.reefcentral.com/calc/hlc2.php Jesse BTW, sorry to hear about the problem with your sump.... what went wrong?
