Everyone, Has anyone calculated how much their monthly cost in electricity is? In setting up my tank I was curious to know if anyone had knowledge on the most efficient equipment to keep cost lower. Or is it all pretty much a crap shoot? I won't be using MH lights and it's a smaller tank, so...

I have a fairly good idea of what I'm getting into when it comes to fish and live rock. Lots of rock and keep the tank very lightly stocked to prevent lots of bio-load. However, I'm new to corals. Once I get my tank running (June?) when can I start to add corals? What's the difference...

First question, about how many lbs of live rock per gallon of capacity? I've used live rock before but it was already cured. This time around I've got a hookup. He works for one of the premium LFS in town and is also one of their main purchasers. Every other Friday he drives to LAX to buy...

What brand and type of sealant do you use on canopy's/stands? It has to resist salt and also not leach in anyway into the system. I'll be building a stand, or Pop's will, ina month.

Who uses 'em? Are they worth it? It's something I'm going to take into consideration when I do my next setup.

I've had alot of time to think about my setup and it's getting close to go-time. Now that I keep hearing and reading about smaller nano's, I'm interested in giving one a whirl. I currently have a 35gal oceanic glass tank I plan to use, the same one I had in college. However, I've always...

Conn, What is your ranking system and naming? How many posts do we need to get one solid fish colored in? Just curious. Phischy

I know it's not a nano by a long shot, but I"ve got a 55 gallon TruVue acrylic tank for sale in San Diego. Tank is used and empty, pretty good condition, a few small scratches on the exterior sides. Tank comes with a single striplight, 3' long (was freshwater prior) Tank comes with a...

I'm out in Sandy Eggo, got tons of info about this area and LFS etc.... About to set up a 35 in June. I know it's too big for a nano classicification, but hell, I know the DJ. Drinks are on me.

Conn- If you had the server space I'd put up my vid of the Moon Jelly I took at the NY Aquarium. Actually, I can probably host it on my site and put a link, the file isn't huge and there aren't enough people here yet to kill my transfer rate for a month. I already sent you one, but the...

DJConn, As you know my pop, Wally's Workshop, makes custom wood furniture. I'm about to put in a request for him to build me a stand for my 35gal. I know that's too large for a nano title, but...in looking at the base and canopy for your tanks, this is something he's more than capable of...

I am Fishy. And soon I will have a reef aquarium. My hat is off to DJ Conn and his new site, I'm happy we were able to get it set up after much head scratching. And someone day I hope to have a 5gal nano sitting on the back of my toilet! ha ha! the fish
