    GREEN BUTTON POLYPS

    JDSmith, I like button poylps.... Especially when target feeding them, plus the growth when feed! I just wish they had color like Zoas did, so I'm more opt to go with palythoas for color and growth!

    Am I cycled?

    Make sure you turn off those moonlights too. Just turn on the lights when you want to inspect the tank. That should be no more than 3-6 hours...

    What my LFS said

    Sunnyaz, Sorry to ask this question. Jesse, what is your opinion on Currents slimpaq T5's retrofits? And when you stated 4x24 watt T5HO how deep will that pentrate? And about 2x24? Last but not least what is the ratio of PC to T5 watts? Sorry again but knowledge is power? :mrgreen: Then...

    What my LFS said

    Yeah, SPS generally need an established tank with great water quality along with lighting too. So I'd stay away from them for now..... I'd just take baby steps since you still have to wait for your water to cycle (I'd wait atleast a month), in the spare time you can read on this forum and many...

    AHHHh IS this what i think it is :(????

    Just do a weekly dip and take a flash light to your tank early in the morning while your polyps are closed up. You'll see these bad boys and their eggs! Thats when I know what colony to concentrate on plus you can always siphone them out too, that what I do. It sucks, for some reason I went...

    What my LFS said

    Sunnyaz, I second what amf82380 stated but I'd say convert that AC70 into a refugium and use chemipure in the first chamber. I used that method and it worked great at least for my 6 gallon nano, would hurt a 20 gallon I suppose. I definatly recommend a skimmer a cheap one that works pretty...

    Am I cycled?

    Go in and manually pull them out. Hair algae thrives on nitrates in excess of 10 ppm, so get that nitrate down with some water changes. Do you have any filter pads or anything like that? That could be a nitrate factory too. Hope this helps.

    Am I cycled?

    Just like Taaang77 said don't worry about it unless its hair algae. Just make sure you have good water flow. And for purchasing ocean water, look into making your own water. It adds up especially when you do alot of water changes which nanos need. :mrgreen:

    Am I cycled?

    Kidnano, usually I wait for a cycle to be done before even putting a cleanup crew. But if everythings good then no problem. I'd wait for atleast a month to be safe because things add up $$$$ especially if they die. I'd make sure you have good water flow and use ro/do water to when mixing or...

    24 GLLN W/70 HQI

    Wow :mrgreen: Hmmm I wonder what the retail is on that? Sounds GREAT but if the price is way up for all those upgrades (which will probably perform okay) it will be interesting. I for one may buy one just based on all the upgrades but I want to see one first, or atleast detailed pics. Thanks...

    Zoa/Paly Frag tank begins....

    I spent alot of money on frags on zoas/palys on my frag tank and some rare blastomussa's on my 66 gallon tank. Here is my frag tank which is going really well. Its been up for 3-4 months (including cycle thats my guess) and everything is thriving. I haven't put all my exotics in there just in...

    Best macro/micro camera for the $buck$

    Yeah, glass is spotless but I don't know if the current has anything to do with it? Then again the distance is about 6-8 inches away including the glass thickness.

I just came from a LFS in San Fracisco and saw a couple buying LR and corals, I hope the individuals working asked him if he was going to but everything in all at once. I would have said something but he yelled at his girlfriend/wife as if he knew what he was...
