Okay guys, I read up about the importance on water current with SPS corals. So I decided to create the perfect setting for my size tank, hosting my SPS corals. With having already one rio in the 1st chamber I purchased the rio 50 to go along side his brother the rio 90. The end...

That's okay Rich, I did love the LPS look, but it was the wrong move for my little tank. I should have gotten frags only. You should check out my brothers girlfriends nano, her pics are on this site. NanoAngel and Dragon79. Look them up they have LPS corals. I love a challange and...

Hey Reefers, My parameters were finally ready for me to step into the world of SPS corals. My LPS corals are no longer here, I traded in my frogspawn and my plate coral. Apparently you cannot keep both species in the same tank and especially for my size tank. Both my LPS corals out grew...

Hey guys I finally got a chance to take pics of my tank since I changed to my replacement tank. I refrained from tanking any pics becuase my tank went into a new mini-cycle. But now everything is back to normal, thanks to bio-spira for speeding the mini cycle. This is how my new...

I know the pic is a little blurry but Dragon wanted to see my new addition to my 3.5 nano.... Here is the tank and then him... Mike Tank with moonlight only Nemo under 18 watts light

One of mine went buggy last night, reseting it self to 12 just like yours. But it was just the new one that I bought last week. All other 4 more great. Could be a bad set comming through. Mike

Dragon, You are right, Larnie does have his R-2 in the front but it's at the sacrafice of not having a 10 watt T-5 actinic in there. Whereas I do retain that location with one and do not have to sacrifice that area to a moon light which doesn't give off what corals need. By having all...

Hey guys, Like promised, I'm continuing to share my photos of my progress on my 12 gallon nano cube deluxe... My R-2 moon light came in today from nanocustoms, thanks Chris. I was able to place it under the splash guard as per the instructions of the kit, (don't want salt creep to...

Wow what a difference, I personally discovered white balance on my S500 and love the natural look. With the auto I picked up too much blue. Mike p.s love you tank, looks so crystal clean, I could stare at it for hours... :smile:

Wooooooooow !!!!! Love it..... Thanks.... for sharing..... Mike

Incysor, Your are truly buff, man I really dig the way we ask you a question and within literally minutes you reply, now I see you looking up solutions for others by examining manuals on the internet. :D Truly amazing, thanks dude.... Mike p.s If you need a spanish translator...

Incysor, Thanks a bunch, I read them all and I'll stick with the refractometer... Mike

Brian, Can you do me a small favor? Can you shoot me up a link that reviews the American Pinpoint Salinity tester? I haven't been able to get not even 1 review. Everyone sells them but nobody has commented on it. Thanks Brian.... Mike

Incysor, Your fire fish, probably heard of DJ's January contest and thought you were taking auditions.... Too bad your FF doesn't realize that the auditions are for Shrooms only. :D Mike

Incysor, You got a good price on your refractometer. MD told me be careful with cheap refractometer because it's all about the calibration. Some units are not built or calibrated as well in the cheaper models. When you pay the high end like I did, it ensures that my unit is of high...

Dragon, I went for the best one that Marine Depot carries, it's the one with a light built in to the refractometer. It runs 119 plus shipping, no tax.... They have another that is just 39 dollars but I heard negative comments if you go cheap on a refractometer... Mine should arrive...

Check out this link I got from my co-worker.... It's work safe and requires speakers.... Mike http://www.starterupsteve.com/swf/rake_bush4.html

Hey Reefers... I just placed my order today on this refractometer. I'm getting serious with my water parameters for my migration to SPS. So I need to have the best in salinity testing, the deep six hydrometer isn't cutting it. I ordered from Marine Depot, they were nice and answered...

Steven, When you remove your rock and it's airborne, in about 5 minutes you'll see the bristle worms coming out of hiding. They come out just like earth worms on a rainy day. Sieze the moment and get them out. I got about 3 out on my last move of rocks. Mike

Hey Opi, Man thanks for the info, I've made a copy of all your suggestions. I'm really excited about the possibility of going SPS over my LPS. I love LPS, but have realized it's better and easier with a 20 gallon tank or larger. Had I kept my pieces really small like frags, I would be...
