Brian, What are flatworms? And why did you not want them in your tank? Are they bad? Are they different from bristle worms? How did you capture them? Or how does that product work? Did the HOT magnum get the job done? Mike

Hey Reefers, My Marineland HOT Magnum came in today. I had a problem with my first one and they sent me a new one that works like a charm. Once a month I create a tropical storm in my nano cube, let me explain. A lot of debris gets in between my rocks and behind in the filter area of the...

Wow, That mantis looks scary; :shock: I've seen them a lot smaller and with much more green in them... This one looks like he broke out of San Quintin. Mike

Brian, Your pics again are awesome; :wink: But I need to ask you, what type of digital camera do you have, becuase your macro pics are so damn sharp, I'd think you stole it from National Geographic; :wink: Camera type please, and how you do macro so awesome? Lend us some tips...

Okay, I'll wait for Adrians response. You just can't beat the starter kit by Marine Kent. At Pet Co here in the Bay Area, it's only 12.99 for the three bottles. Strontium, Iodine, and Calcium. For a nano cube this is great cause it will last and last. What will cost me is the calcium...

Hey guys, I will certainly keep you guys posted on my updates. Dragon, no I will not get a bigger tank even though the power of the lights goes up and I will tell you why. As you increase size in tank you acquire the need for even more watts of lighting. So my 102 watts of power would...

Thanks for the advice, I now know what to purchase. I will get the starter kit by Marine Kent. And I will purchase a Calcium tester and a PH tester.... Mike

Hey reefers, I placed my order today, 102 watts of power should come in in 2 weeks. Chris the owner of nanocustoms.com sold me my 1st upgrade, 78 watts of power, but because of a flaw design in the canopy of the deluxe my tank got too hot. I talked to Chris and he called JBJ and found...

Hey reefers, I've never been a consumer of the additives department, example idodine, calcium, and strontium supplements. I'm starting to worry that I should add to my reef these additives as religiously as I do water changes. I'd like to get an idea of what you reefers are adding to your...

JBJ is the maker of the lights in the Nano cube... The tank is not, I repeat, not manufactured by JBJ, they make lights only, that's their specialty... They order the tank from a third party and slap there lights into the tank, and bam,,, you got a Nano Cube... Mike

How about super imposing a picture of shrimp being swallowed by that great white shark.... That would make me laugh.... Mike or does it have to be natural shots,,, no super imposing....????

Hi Guys, Hope your readings are getting to the Zone Dragon. But like Incysor said, it's hard to keep that PH at 8.3. I've never been able to do it, just around 8.0. As far as the kent products go, I'm the user of Phytomax which Incysor talks about. It's wierd how 1 drop does 50 gallons...

So far so good. And I did pick up another elegance coral and the gum drop is happy, he hosted it immediately. I am monitoring the frog spawn. Because even though I got traded the torch in for credit and got the elegance, the frog is still there. I did make more room for him. But...

Dragon, I haven't seen live cams for fish tanks that would be the bomb especially here on this site. But on nano-reef.com I have seen video link pics where you just click and see the video right there.... Really nice.... Would be nice to get a link started, maybe you can figure it out...

I missed the opportunity to see open water, wanted to see it so bad but I mised it. Does anyone know when it will come out on DVD? I like drama and suspense movies. Plus love the fact it was based on true events. Gave me the creeps when I was in Hawaii doing some snorkling. mike

Nice aquascapping, I like the structure of live rock, the way it has shelves, looks very natural. I've been running a 2.5 since thanksgiving. Haven't added anything until the diatoms blooms go away. Just 4 small red leg hermits... I'll start some pics tommorrow so I can start documenting...

Phischy you are right, the golden rule is to be patient. It's just really hard, it's like getting a red convertible corvette and than driving it to the racing track but not being able to go unitl you wait a full month, making sure all specs are right,,,, it's hard but if you don't follow the...

Is it true sun corals have to be placed in a dark area, cave or ledge where not too much light hits them. Do they also require that you spot feed them supplecments. Thats what my old LFS told me. Just wanted to follow up. Mike

Wow, You really have some kick butt colors in your tank. I'd like to see a pic of your entire layout, you know the size of it from 2 feet back. I want to see your aquascapping. Maybe you can link ma a previous post of your setup. Mike

Wrong move Phischy, I've had a friend lose 2 citron gobies to CBS. He told me that during the night he saw the CBS cruising the tank checking all the crevices and bam he caught the goby off guard and severly injured him. Next day he say the hermits eating the remains. If the Goby host a...
