    Live rock in Houston?

    Well, I made my last live rock purchase for my nanos online at Premium Aquatics if that tells you anything. City Pets, Fish Ranch, or Global Fish N Pet all on the southwest side would probably be the cheapest. As far as quality goes I guess you'd just have to drive around and take a look...

    Moon Lights

    I've got one on my 20H. Its the CSL single white LED. Got it for about $30 I think. I've had some problems mounting it b/c I don't feel comfortable drilling into my light canopy but I really just need to grow a pair and do it. Its pretty cool for when you're walking around the house at night...

    What do you add/dose to your tank? Everyone!

    Ok, lets get this thing started. I always think its interesting to find out what people are actually dosing and adding to their tanks. Some people put in EVERYTHING imaginable and others just do simple water changes with hardly any other additions. For my 20 gal: I use Kent's Tech CB...

    Anyone in the Houston area?

    Are there any fish stores on the east side that sell corals and salt stuff? I've never heard of any but I'm over that way on occasion.

    tank setup ideas

    Hehehe...you've got the itch :shock: Did you mean you want to try to use your 35 as the sump and throw a 20 up top? Are are you going to buy two 20s? Got a little confused there. I would def. still consider anything 20 gal or smaller a nano. That is soley my opinion. I've heard some...

    HOW TO GET YOUR AVATAR TO SHOW UP?

    I can finally see Tanya's now. Hillbilly - lets give it a little more time...I guess it takes a few hours. By the way I love Boone, NC. Really cool little town nestled up in the mountains. I saw Dave Matthews and Tim Renolds play at the amplitheather there last year. There was a blizzard too!

    Flatworms and how to get rid of them?

    I've left them alone for almost half a year and their population is gradually increasing. I'd say they infest about 70% of all my corals and cover at least 20-30% of my hammer. I've heard that maybe a 6 line wrasse might also be a good flatworm eater? Anyone agree/disagree? Would that be...

    Where to order sexy shrimp?

    I really want to get some of these for my nanos but I've never seen them at my LFS and most online places don't stock them or are out. Anyone got a recommendation of where to get a few of these little guys? Thanks.

    Hellolights gets an A+

    I've made at least 3 transactions with Hellolights and every one had been great. Pretty decent prices, good webpage/ordering page and really fast shipping. My lights seriously have come in less than 3 days a few times. Hellolights gets my approval.

    Flatworms and how to get rid of them?

    Okay, for some time now (about 4 months) my 20 gal tank has had flatworms or planarians on the corals. I've researched quite a bit and it seems that these suckers are really only descructive to your corals when they almost completely cover them or don't allow them to receive light. I've kinda...

    Metal Halide

    From what some of my friends have said, I think anywhere from 6 to 10 inches should be ok. I would try differing heights for a while until everything looks happy. All my tanks are run on PCs so sorry I couldn't be more informative. Where are you buying the MHs from?

    Sdbeazleys 10 gallon

    Looks like a great start for only a 3-4 month old tank. What kind of lighting do you have setup? I've got an empty 10 just sitting here that may eventually become a little mini reef. That will be my 4th tank so on second thought, I might just hold off on that for a little while...at least...
