Can you print the design off and then use a scanner to change the type of file? I am not a real big computer guru but this may work. Maybe one of the computer experts will chime in soon.

They open with light and base their cycle on the day/night cycle of your tank. The brine and cyclopeeze are good, frozen cyclopeeze is better IMO. There are also liquid foods that can be used but you need to be careful with these because overfeeding is quite easy.

I have to agree that you really want to keep the temp swings alot tighter, maybe to a degree or so. You can try using a small fan blowing acrossed the tank when the lights are on to help keep the temp from rising. Get the temps stable and the corals will be happier.

Nice variety of different shapes in there.

:welcome to nanotank I am an owner of 2 JBJ Nanocubes, a 6 and a 12DX. I am in the process of setting a 10 gallon up now for the residents of the two cubes (motly to make some changes in the cubes). I have to agree that unless you really want the footprint of one of the cube tanks you are...

Great article Jesse, I buy CB fish and farmed corals whenever I can. Keep up the good work. BTW, I was not aware of some of the stats you posted.

What were ther zoas colors that you had under the MH, I also think that some colors do better under the intense lighting than others. Thanks for sharing your findings so far. Nice group of frags BTW.

The growth patterns in the second pic are very interesting, I wonder what is causing that.

I was wondering about old diver and floridapets being the same person when I just read that, thanks for clearing that up. When I tried the URL sealifeflorida.com I keep being redirected to a search page stating that it can't be found, any ideas whats wrong?

the target range is usually as near or slightly above natural seawateras possible.

Its just an algae, usually cleaned right up by snails like astreas, margaritas, turbos, trochus, etc.

Zoos are great corals and grow quite well as long as properly cared for and fed. You should have a rock full of them soon enough.

Bettas are great first freshwater fish. I also still hold an affinity for a nbicely planted freshwater tank, they may not be as bright and colorful as a reeftank but they are still quite beautiful when properly aquascaped.

You'll probably change the rockwork as you add corals, we all do. Some of the timers can be a pain to try and set, if it has a battery back-up make sure to put a battery in it so you don't have to keep setting it.

A little higher (1.026-1.027) for corals or for fish only you can drop it lower to about 1.018 or above.

Anthony Calfo said he used Tropic Marin if I am not mistaken and was pleased with it, I haven't tried it because no one in my area carries it.

It depends on where they are used to but I would place them in medium flow and medium light. If they don't open right within a few days you can always try moving them.

You also have to remember that your UV has 3x the contact time as a regular UV due to the turbo twist. The chart they are giving you is for a regular single pass sterilizer, go with the chart that came with your unit and you'll be fine. The main thing is the contact time and the twist part...

I noticed you said you installed the MH fixture so you could keep the clam. Clams this size (usually less than 2 1/2 to 3 inches) need to be target fed phytoplankton because they don't have enough zooxanthellae in their mantles to produce enough food to sustain themselves. I don't know if you...

You LR is cured when your tank completes its cycle and you can tell the cycle has completed by the readings of you test results. Basically the main thing is ammonia and nitrite readings of 0 and nitrate readings as low as possible but at least <20.
