ED! How are things going! Glad you posted! Yeah, tank crashes are no good :anxious Well, I look forward to new pics!!! You still keep in touch with Jesse?

Foam pads would be fine, but you will have to make sure to clean them out every so often so that detritus and things don't build up and cause water chemistry problems. Not sure about the blue light question for plants as I have never heard of anyone saying they have tried it. You may be able to...

I would just continue the garlic daily until you see improvement. Then when spots go away continue daily for about another week. I wouldn't. try a FW dip either, as they are very scary. As for the leather sometimes they do that, and it may be because of the garlic and stress coat, just make sure...

oh and :welcome to nanotank.com

I really like that Boyu tank. Looks like a great starter and waaaaaaay more room than a JBJ. My vote is for the Boyu! :thumbup:

Growing Macro you also want to look at Kelvin or Color temperature. Here is a link to a bulb that is great for a fuge and pretty low cost. http://www.melevsreef.com/fuge_bulb.html Not sure about the ventilation issue as all of my tanks that I have run with a fuge have had open backs, but...

Good start! For corals,LPS tanks look awesome! maybe some Acans, Hammers and Frogspawns. Duncans, and some ricordea on the floor. Personally though I keep Palys and Ric in my tank. I'm sure you can get some ideas by going to the photography thread and looking around.

Hey Mannaize, Welcome to Nanotank.com your plans sound pretty good. as far as fish I would keep it with the 1 clown and 2 small gobies plan. When I had my 12 I had 2 clowns that I kept in it. Also because of the sump it does give you more water in the system, but you need the space for more fish...

Put cured live rock into the tank with base rock (normal rock) and the beneficial bacteria will spread. As for how fast, every tank is different.by cure, do you mean cycle?

AIO = All in One

Also what type of tank is that? It looks like an AIO, but I've never seen that one.

nice set-up so far! I miss my black & Whites, IMO they are the best clowns! Welcome to nanotank.com!

I used: Saltwater Aquariums for dummies Written by Gregory skimmal. I still have it. If you want it PM me your addy and I can mail it to you for free. I thought it was very useful, and goes step by step into building a saltwater aquarium. the book I have is from 2002 so some of the filtration...

any updates?

Some new polyps

I should probably mention the first link is more of a tank evolution and what not, the second link takes from start up to adding water etc.

Sorry to hear about the losses, don't worry though we all go through these times. I would just sit tight for a while and try to level out the salinity and maybe just let the tank be for a couple weeks without adding anything just to get it back to stable. Keep us posted.... "Fish Nerds"...

Nexis :welcome to nanotank.com! These type of tanks are great starter tanks, I started off with a 12 gallon aquapod, which is essentially the same type of tank. They can be run straight out of the box for a salt water set up or you can do some modifications to them as well. Some mods that most...
