looks like a zoo polyp that has spent too much time at the bottom of the live rock tank in the LFS

My city is built on white silica sand, litterally. I will be using some collected from below the low tide mark, full of critters.

Thanks Big, that's great. the members of MASA (marine aquarium societies of Australia) forum would love to see your set up and for you to start a tank journal. Your feeding and breeding regime is quite impressive and I think your contribution would be valualble. If you would like to...

Awesome, and inspiring, could you please give more details on your set up or link to another site with that info?

Aquascaping, Take 1 First crack at setting out some LR and mushies. Think I'm happy with it.

New FTS and coral pics Update on my 22 Gal, I am finally happy with my aquascaping after 4 months of changing it around. I have lots of space within the rock for the little critters to escape from my hungry clowns. Excuse the algae but here we go,,, these red mushies are growing a new...

Agree with Tim, a brittle that has seen better days.

I have a lion fish, I caught it when it could fit into the top of a coke bottle. It is placid, you need fish that are the same size or a little bigger that it. It will grow very quickly!!! And don't stick your hand in the tank when you don't know where it is. The hospital is a boring...

drilled today with my $6 ebay bits from Hong Kong (worked really well). Plumbed it and fixed it to my desk. The sump is cycled and the live rock is base rock from my 22 Gal so I will stock it this weekend, Keep you updated! p.s. those funny little marks on the ruler are...

Ended up with a few changes from above, I will be using a 15W aqua one 103. Head hight will be 600 mm so that will give me 400l/hr flow and no need for any other power heads in the tank. The display will drain through a durso in the back of the tank with return water entering the same way...

1st step, you have to do a ton of reading. Not just here, but journal articles all over the web. Searches might include, Deep Sand Beds, Live Rock, the Nitrogen cycle, cycling marine tanks and many more. Unfortunately, there isn't a forum in the world that can give you all the info you need...

I missed out on the 15L on ebay, I purchased a new 12" rimless cube. It is really hot here so I am thinking about using a 20L bucket as a sump to control evaportation. I really want a nano but I don't want too much hassle. :roll: I will set it up after christmas, but will definately...

I will be picking up a pico this weekend. My plan is to build a wier into it and place my pump and filter material in there. I will post pics along the way,,,,,,if it's not a complete disaster! total tank size is 15 Litres, What is that in your crazy imperial system :roll: ?? 3Gal?

Here is the youtube clip of my tank with a quick look at the sump. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqGn4sridVc And my tank journal on MASA. (must register) http://www.masa.asn.au/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=193325

Not sure if the nano enthusiasts are down with sumps on your tanks. I have one because it is easier for me. I love this site but as I am in Australia I mostly use masa.asn.au (Marine Aquarium Societies of Australia) My tank contains snails, urchins (long spined and collector) and hermits...

I have never had a good experience with any sort of damselfish. I had to fire fish that were bullies to death by a single (small) damsel. Blennies and Gobies are a good choice for small tanks.

I'll give you my 2 cents worth as well. I have been setting up a 15 Gal Cube with a rear overflow. I have used egg crate type plastic to form a framework for the LR. My aim was to replicate a rising reef and use the framework to place the LR like steps to the top of the tank where most of my...

what is that substrate? Looks like man made LR

I am setting up a 20 Gal cube and using an old 20 gal tank as a sump. I have no clue as to what size pump i will need. Do you think I can get away without any other powerheads if I can bring the inlet up through the bottom of the tank and tee it off in 2 directions???

Well I have changed my mind at the end of this, I have just ordered a 20x20x18 with an overflow in the back centre. 1 inlet and 2 outlet. I will be using my existing tank as a sump but will use a sump pump. What size do you think I will need? I am going to set up a 10 Gal using the established...
