Sounds good... glad you were able to find out which one was off. Jesse

Looks to me to be normal algae that you will be getting in the first couple of months. Manually remove it and keep an eye on your parameters and you should see it slowly go away. You may have already said but how long has the tank been up and running, are you running your lights, and what were...

I havent heard of that company before... looks like quality stuff although its tough to tell because they dont give any good details about the ballasts, lamps, etc. What size tank is the MH/T5 combo you are looking at going to be going on?

I think they pretty much covered everything... if you have no other filtration (ie chemical media like carbon or a protein skimmer) you would just rely more on frequent water changes... about 25% to 40% AT LEAST EVERY WEEK. As far as T5 lighting, dont hesitate. Just remember that the...

Can you take a sample to a LFS or a friends house or something where you can get a "third-party" reading? Jesse

Does the refractometer have ATC?? (automatic temp compensation) Jesse

I believe last I heard was March/April... Jesse

When painting the back of a tank, you generally paint the outside back, not the inside. :welcome to nanotank.com danktank! Jesse

Very true. Jesse

You mentioned that you are going to put the chaeto in your canister... how is it going to get its light? Jesse

:welcome to nanotank.com! First off, are you looking at keeping a fish-only tank, a FOWLR (fish-only with live rock), or a reef tank? Jesse

Sure... http://www.jbjlighting.com/aquarium_prods.html They havent posted a price yet, but I imaging it will probably be around $600 Jesse

If you do not want to have any powerheads in the tank, you would need something much larger than a Mag 5. The SCWD reduces your total GPH by about 15%-20%... dont listen to their website... it kills the flow. For a 46g, you are going to want somewhere around 1400gph or more, so how about going...

Not a bad deal. Have you all seen the new nanocube that JBJ will be releasing in the next couple of months?? Check it out. Pretty sweet! Finally JBJ is trying to compete with oceanic and Red Sea. Jesse

Not sure as to what size airpump is necessary... I would imaging that it wouldnt take anything too large, but you also wouldnt want one of the smaller ones out there. Do you have one laying around? Jesse

ANybody live close enough to one of these spigots to take advantage of them?? Hey, free high quality NSW is always a good thing! Jesse

Pretty good shots... its difficult to snap those real close-up pics but those look good! I especially like that last one. Jesse

I have heard several people suggest NOT to introduce emeralds into a reef tank. Dont know anything more than that. Hopefully someone else can help out. Jesse
