I like your rock racks and your tank looks very clean. Keep the updates coming.

Have you given any thought to an anenome crab or shrimp for some movement? Just curious.

I would recommend the surface skimmer even if you decided on a PS. You made a fast decision though, luckily it was the right one IMO.

I agree but remember that he is new to the board and doesn't know us yet.

Pirate, where would you go to find a glass drill like that one, I looked around some thia AM (had some extra time) and found nothing. Just curious is all, no more drilling than I do my Dremel and a diamond bit work fine.

Check with your LFS, they may give you credit on the fish and you can adjust the cost accordingly.

Have you made sure your orp meter is calibrated? I can see levels changing throughout the day but for them to just start climbing it makes me wonder. I am not well versed in ozone though ignore me if I am not making sense.

Pretty interesting links. Thanks for posting them.

No but I have added short sections of airline tubing to the end before for added reach. :mrgreen:

The set-up is a pretty good deal if you can get it for the opening bid especially. Some of the livestock needs to go though, the tang and clown are bad choices for such a small tank and really should be either sold or traded. The other livestock sound fine. You would expect to pay about $175...

The 110v/60hz just indicates that the pump is designed to run on 110 volt 60 cycle electricity which is what we use in America, nothing to worry about. If there is a label with a serial number on the back of your tank you have an '06 model with the upgraded return pump. If not use either a...

I have found larger (20-60 cc) syringes to be convenient for target feeding, you also have a built in scale if you want to speard things equally or feed the same amount each time.

The goby/pistol pairings are the most common but there are other interesting relationships to see if thats what your looking for. Some examples are acro crabs with their coral, anenome crabs or anenome shrimp on their host anenome (flower anenomes are good for this IMO),and of course the...

I rarely dose iodine, iodide or iodate because if too much gets in the system it is toxic and I don't test for it. You really should test before adding any of the iodines to make sure you are noy overdosing. I think that most of your iodine needs are met through regular partial water changes.

I would contact Chris and see if he has an improved reflector/air baffle and then see if you could get higher CFM fans to move more air to help dissipate the heat. I seem to recall Chris mentioning something about changing the baffles in one of the cubes for better airflow.

At first I was thinking of a couple of flower anenomes with a anenome shrimp for motion. I forgot about the carpets you bought.

:welcome to nanotank After you have been here for awhile and have read our posts you will find that there are definitely some people on here that are experts in different areas. There is alot of experience here that you can draw from. I can see where you may be scepticle if all you have heard...

Should be okay for a small anenome that doesn't need a crazy amount of light.

We aren't nuts, we just enjoy all of the aspects of our hobby...........the smell of skimmate in the morning :leat :eatdr

Pirate this thread is an inspiration for all of us to DIY. I may have to start the assembly of my 12" cube tank later today. I also have to admit that I am jealous of your glass drill :mrgreen: . Keep the posts coming. BTW, I too am an avid DIYer, some acrylic, some glass, alot of wood.
