Looks very nice. I would love to have seen the seahorse chastising the clown for eating his food, if you could have got that on film you would be rich.

I would go ahead and get into the habit of weekly water changes now. Remember to add livestock slowly allowing your tank to stabilize between additions.

You want to remove the bio part because it converts waste into ammonia to nitrite to nitrate so quickly you don't have a chance for anything to be consumed before its converted to nitrate, this causes high nitrate levels. With the slightly slower process in using LR for filtration snails...

I think Sadie hit it with an early breeding/mating behaviour. It could also be a who is going to be dominant ritual. Let us know what happens.

I have never seen a brain with that kind of color, great find.

I have to agree that you have done a wonderful job. I like the way your rockwork is now with so many caves and swim throughs I think it would be a fishes paradise.

Both tanks look fabulous! I am still a little partial to the bookshelf though.

How do things look today now that the stress of being moved is over?

He looks alot like some of the hermits I have seen that get as big as golfballs. I would keep an eye on this one for sure.

Wishing you a late Happy Birthday, I hope you had a good one.

A piece of filter cartridge may help introduce some bacteria but I don't think it will speed your cycle up because the bacterias have to multiply to sufficient numbers. I am not sure what you mean by it helping algae to grow faster, what kind of algae are you talking about growing?

My opinion is some of the problem comes from the tanks not being set up properly on a solid level surface, I think the ones that crack after being set up for some time may have to do with initial set-up. I have no real preference for an Aquapod over a Nanocube, I have 2 cubes (a 6 and a 12 DX)...

You may be able to use the gravel depending on what it is, sometimes crushed coral or dolomite is used in cichlid tanks to make the water as hard as possible and if thats the case you can use it for saltwater. I would consider this for a fish only tank though and follow Jesses post if you plan...

The only mag I know of that is all saltwater is Coral ( www.coralmagazine.com ) but it is a bi-monthly publication. I also like FAMA (Freshwater and Marine Aquarium) but as the title sggests it also deals with the freshwater aspect of the hobby too. Another mag I like that deals with both is...

I have seen my urchins pick up all kinds of hitchhikers from mushrooms to frags but never have I seen a snail ride one. That is just too much.

Zoas and candycanes are always a good start.

Eddy I was actually thinking of an anenome shrimp like this one: http://www.marinedepotlive.com/glass-an ... hrimp.html . Or this crab: http://www.marinedepotlive.com/anemone- ... crabs.html .

Thanks for the link Dickie but I was looking for something a little more automated, you know less hands on. Besides I would need one that is a production model :mrgreen: . I actually came acrossed a few like this when I was looking but none of the smaller ones like Pirate linked. I guess its...

They are used to support the LR so if it gets tunneled under the rockwork won't fall.

Weekly water changes are all that is needed in a nano, the surface skimmer is a great addition to keep a film from forming on your water. You made the right choice.
