I would think so, but I haven't really had any direct experience with blastos. They're just a little pricey right now for me, but from what I've read they do well in most moderate-high light conditions. B

dj, I may have to do some poking around this weekend at walmart/target/etc... Thanks for the info. Master, These guys are generally less than the size of a nickel individually. With feeding they can multiply pretty rapidly. I've got a few small patches in my main reef system, and I...

Where are you guys getting thermos, freezer packs, and a box cheaply enough that total cost with shipping would run me less than $6? Nearly all my small box shipments have run closer to $10-$12, and that's without a thermos or freezer pack. B

The 7g trashcan will generally last me nearly a week. All you need is something to hide the pump and the container, and just run the lines around the back of the stand to the sump. The 7g trashcan I'm using generally has about 6g of water in it and it lasts about 5 days before I have to...

Mike, How much room do you have left under the cabinet? I found that a tall kitchen trash can had a more compact footprint than a typical 5g bucket, and holds more water. Looking at the pics, it looks like you have room for a small black cabinet that you could set next to the tank to hold...

Unfortunately the watts-per-gallon rule is a pretty useless rule of measure. Lighting requirements for reef tanks, and all the different critters that can be housed in them is just too complex to be addressed using this measure. Unfortunately the short answer is that 48w of pc lighting isn't...

Turkey baster in smaller tanks...Larger ones I sometimes use a small PH and use it like a leafblower. :lol: B

Sometimes pointing a PH directly at them will get them to move out of the current as well. I've had much better luck at using these methods than trying to pry them off. It depends on the rock and how they're attached to it though. I did have luck once where the foot was attached in a fairly...

Trying to peel them off of LR is a PITA. I've tried several things, but if they've got their foot in a deep enough hole it's nearly impossible. I managed to get my RBTA off of a piece of rock that needed to be moved into another tank by taking another smaller piece of rock and putting it over...

LOL...his mods are so clean that they look like they came out of the factory that way...Sometimes it makes it difficult to tell what's going on. I can't tell from the pics either. Did you re-route the intake so that it flows to the larger sump section then back to the overflow back into...

Thanks for the compliments. I'd sell you a couple if you want them. Anyone know the best/cheapest way to ship them? B

The smallest mass-produced ones I've seen are called piccolo skimmers. They're not the easiest thing to find. Coralife made a clone of it for awhile, but they don't anymore. I've also seen pics of some home made ones that seemed to work pretty well. Personally probably wouldn't bother with...

Lemme guess, pic three, and maybe pic four are the ones that closed up? It looks like: pic one - discosoma (sp?) pic two - ricordia florida pic three - hairy mushrooms (I don't remember the family name) pic four - possibly another hairy speices, but I don't think so. It's totally...

http://www.dtplankton.com/ There's a couple stores here in town that carry it. B

Man...That sucks! Sorry to hear that. Are you gonna go with another 20L, or are you thinking of a different size? B

Very nice. Where did you get the pieces to attach to the intake tube? B

If it's a tulip, it's very unhappy. This is what they look like when they're happy. I'd say that's probably some type of zoo, or polyp. I'd put it in your tank where it can get more light and food. If it turns out to be an unhappy tulip, or majano, it'll be pretty easy to...

Just depends on how much room you're leaving for the tube. They get big. When my pink one is fully extended at night, it's nearly 1/2 way to the top of my 25g tank. Spread out I'd say it's tentacles take up a 6-8" sphere. B

That is friggin sweet!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Great job! B

Yeah, you should be fine with LPS, and softies in the 6g under the upgraded lights. B
