It's VERY exciting to start seeing your planning come to fruition.

The fish is cute. I wanna tickle his silly little chin. What kind is he? I was gonna say yellow-headed goby or something like that.

Did anyone else notice the word GRAVEL being used in the OP? Is the substrate "gravel" or crushed coral or sand??? Very important determination. Gravel and crushed coral would become nitrate factories.

Well ya'll, for Xmas, I finally gotta camera. Yippee!!! With Macro... even better. My tank is a standard 10 gal. AGA. Aqua-tech 30-60 HOB modded to a sump/ fuge. Currently, my Sanders Piccollo skimmer is removed bc I need to replace the airstone. I am adding a Koralia Nano this weekend...

Bioballs and ceramic rings will cause nitrates to build up. In SW, this will be deadly.

Fluvals rock!!!! I have them on 2 FW tanks and I love them.

Theory is that the oxygen output from the macro balances the output from the coralline etc in the display maintaining a constant pH regardless of which algae is getting the light at what time. However, after testing the theory in my 10gal. with the HOB fuge convert, no significant pH change was...

looks like a start... could only see one of the pics though.

So, there are always these posts about people with algae issues. We all know about the basic "algae cycle" of a new tank. I'm wondering, does anyone else notice a "pattern" for a new tank? A pattern that even with the utmost care can only be minimally controlled until it has run its course...

I stir mine with a wood spoon and then run an airstone in it until I use it.

ALIEN SPAWN!!! Sorry, couldn't help myself... those are crazy looking!!!

Very cute and look at that tubby belly! Two thumbs up!!

I went around and around myself with this decision. But here's what I was told: All-in-ones are limited to what you can do with them. Upgrades may even require replacing the whole tank and system vs. with a standard sized tank that you pick your items for, you have more choices. I was...

that finger leather is really neat looking and I like the fish eye view of the clown. He's like "hey joker, put down the camera and feed me."

Looks good. That's a lovely rainbow you have there.

Mine host my wine colored zoanthids and my green hairy mushroom.

Nice thing about fishing line is that you can get the kind that dissolves after awhile so you don't have to go on a recovery mission in the tank.

that's what dremels and drills are for.

Yeah, mine's killed 3 male bettas(FW) and a dojo loach(FW). Killer kitty. She does limit me somewhat on lighting.... but I love her.

How would they be mounted??? No legs. So, I'd have to have a glass canopy or something to support it. I'm looking at topping the tank with just eggcrate and a light on legs. I'd go eggcrate less, but my cat fishes.
