If you can eliminate dead-zones and detritus from collecting all throught your sandbed and LR while only having 10x-15x turnover in your tank, go for it. If you can distribute 10x-15x turnover throught the entire system in a manner that will provide proper flow to all corals, go for it. You...

Pretty much any reputable source of reef info will stress the importance of adequate flow. Random, turbulant flow is always better than a laminar flow achieved by using just one or two directional powerheads. -- http://www.wetwebmedia.com/circmarart.htm Here is a very thorough 4-part...

This one reminded me of a comment of a www.reefkeeping.com issue... "$10,000 invested in a 125-gallon mixed reef, and all I hear is, "Oh look, a Nemo!"" These are all comments straight from the mouth of die-hard, addicted reefers... also from reefkeeping.com... "Top Ten Worst Things You...

Have you tried a freshwater Lugols dip for the zoo colonies?? there is no reason why you shouldnt be able to get rid of the nudis on the zoas. Jesse

His sig says he has a 20g... that is not too much at all. I have about 650-700gph in my 20L and I am in need of more flow. It is all about distributing the flow well enough to AVOID sandstorms. And 20x turnover is extremely low flow... most corals, even zoanthids, softies, etc benefit from...

Brian, are you testing for Ca?? Because there are pretty sufficient levels of Ca in salt mixes, Purple Up is a Ca supplement, AND you are dosing a second Ca supplement... unless it is an SPS-dominated tank with clams too, that is probably way too much. Jesse

IF I am correct they should. It will take some time though... I dont know how long the live span of a nudi is from egg to death.

Nice tank, great pictures!! :welcome to nanotank.com! Jesse

No, it is the TOTAL of all powerheads... Jesse

The only things I KNOW that I am keeping are the two gobies. I need to find a home for the wrasse, the calaustrea, the brain... hopefully the plate has found its home in my tank! Gotta talk to mike about that though. Thanks for the comments guys! Jesse

BTW, you look very good for being a centurion! 101st huh?!? Jesse

Happy birthday bud... hope you have a great day! :birthday: :hb2: :group :hbd: :partyt Jesse

Sorry, no new FTS lately. A little bit of an update though. I recently picked up Steven's (dragon79) three fish... a cherry-head goby, neon goby and 4-line wrasse. They hadcome under an ich attack and have been in quarantine for about a week now. I have been treating them with...

It kinda depends on what fish you end up with. There are fish that arent prone to jump, ie clowns, and fish that are very prone to jump, ie firefish. Many reefers run their tanks topless... myself inculded. You will get more evaporation but this helsp to keep a lower temp. Just make sure to...

I agree with everything john said... Jesse

Well the 2-1-1 ratio is what I personally find pleasing to my eye. This goes for larger tanks though usually. Also IMO the PCs that are on most 24g cubes arent really enough to give you a large amount of flexibilty with coral selection. I personally think that be best option as far as...

Okay... First off... if you are looking to keep fish, they generally prefer a more natural side-to-side swimming pattern. This isn t possible in a narrow, tall tank. A reef benefits from a large surface area.. better gas exchange, etc. A tall tank is harder to get adeaquate flow...

This is very true... in a nano, you shoudlnt be dosing ANYTHING that you dont test for. Regular weekly water changes should be maintaining close to the proper levels. THe safest and best way to start/maintain caralline growth is to get a Ca/Alk tester and maintain proper levels. Also, time is...

Is it in an area of high flow or light? If so, move it down to the sand bed while it acclimates. Jesse

Congratulations, dancefish... YOU are our 2,000th member!! (in my best "Price is Right voice) :group :yippee :band Jesse
