Here's a site that also has pictures to different things we see in the reefing hobby. http://www.melevsreef.com/id/

Thanks. I wish I had more time to mod it before hand but this way I have an excuse to keep modding it while enjoying it!

Yes, I apologize if I went over your head gypsb. I wanted to put all the information out there just in case. The 35 looks great and coral selection is key. There are many different ways to attain the same goal and no two tanks will workout the same. I've also been a reefer for many, many...

Had to relink the pictures, it wasn't parsing. Anyways, here's my tank in progress.

Well here's my Nanocube that I've modded. It's still a work in progress as it needed to be setup quick and I didn't get to fully mod it. Well the powers that be have decided that this tank needed a jump start so all the live rock, water, and coral was transported across the room, well five...

Ya I should, :lol: I have the K2 Viper on my 12gNC and think the trick to getting it tight is to hold the unit straight while tightening it and remember to torque tighten it and not just finger tight. It tightens up more then you'd think and when you let go it still leans forward. I bet...

Huh, who's arguing? I said they were good links/reading on lighting but also posted they aren't complete for the average reefer reading them. They are still very worth while anyways. I also posted why PC's were becoming outdated and personal experiences with them. This may serve to aid in setup...

Whoops, forgot to post the link. Have a look through here and see if something matches up; http://mikes-machine.mine.nu/algae_gallery.htm

Ah, ok then. The rock looks clean but how's the flow in this area and when was the last time you took a turkey baster (or whatever) and blew it out? If this is new to the rock then there must be something new to the tank or something that is just now effecting it. How old is your lighting? If...

Good read Cris, but don't forget to take Sanjay with a grain of salt and that RC thread is getting quite old as new tech is coming out. The "facts" are there but it's improperly documented and quite a few people have discredited him down to only being a reference. Sanjay is a very basic, and...

Let me try to reword that then... When you got the rock was it "new" or recycled? Seeing as you haven't said how long this has been going on for I'm guessing since day one. That would put leaching as a very good possibility, especially since it's only this rock.

Not in the end if you look at it. The main reason why PC's are still so widely used is because of people falling to marketing and old school advice. Many companies are still trying to recover their investment in aquarium PC/CF lamps and as such they market them heavily. The total cost of...

Looks like the standard green hair algae, derbesia. Have a closer look though and see if it's feathered may be bryopsis and if it's dark it may be cladophora but I'm thinking standard GHA. Chances are your rock is leaching phosphates. Is the rock "new" or was it bought off someone else or in...

Unless you're willing to have a 2" overhang on each side you're not going to be able to go T5HO. The smallest T5HO lamp is 24", and T5NO (normal output) is pointless for corals. You're looking at a 150w MH (recommended to save the 'upgrade' syndrome), 70w MH (limiting in lamp colour...

I'm putting this question out there to see what others think. I'm looking into my next mod when I started thinking that by the shear design of the Tunze 9002 I wouldn't get that much more of a benefit in skimming by reducing the chambers water flow from the current rate. The pump recirculates...

BTW what corals? Some like zoas can handle being out of the water for the time it takes to remove the bubble algae. Think of how long they are out of water when fragging.

Ah well then you're stuck. The bubble will just keep growing until it pops so you'll want to control when that happens. Remember the issue is the spores within the bubble, they need to be removed. If you have some airline tubing and a water change ready you can shut off the pumps and use the...

Ditch the hermits, really they have no place in a nano other than eye candy. Snails will out perform and are safer than hermits any day. Also, don't rely on just one type of snail. Each has their speciality and a mix will keep the whole tank clean. Any store that says you need so may of any...

You don't want to pop the bubble in the tank but if you can get the rock out during your next water change you can try to 'pry' off the bubble and rinse it very well with the waste water. The bubble may pop yet some times you can get it out whole but no matter what be sure to rinse the rock...

Old thread but what the heck. I heard/read about this site via a new user (AquariumPros.ca) that was using a redirect banner and continued surfing after the redirect. This site was the url so I thought I'd have a peek. Don't mind me, hehe.
