You're welcome. For the live rock, well that is a matter of some preference. The live rock and sand are your main biological filters so I would try to keep about 10-15 pounds in there.

I'm not sure if I'm crazy or if this helps, but I also run plastic under hot water. My brain thinks that is will soften the material a bit and help keep shattering away. I just may be crazy though. ;-) :lol:

No, you don't need a skimmer (especially if no fish). Yes you can put in a cleaning crew (but you may have to feed them since no left over food from fish feedings) Yes you should have a power head, saltwater can go stagnate quick and the surface needs to agitate to help keep all the water...

Very nice!

Just keep an eye on your nitrates please. I have had too much trouble with those rings and bio balls.

Water change and sand bed maintenance can help a bit. Try to suck out all the dead things. Rigid tubing with airline tubing works nicely.

You can have it anywhere almost. You may have to drill a hole somewhere to let the tubing out though.

Tough. Nothing to say about the rock work though. I don't like my own rock work. I tend to move it around too much.

So squeaky clean! Any close ups? Oh yeah... :welcome to Nanotank!!

This is very ingenious. Just looking at it gets my mind going. I wonder if using bulkheads would help reduce the superglue and make it more water tight.

Of COURSE we are interested. Please post! :lol:

Actinic is good for coloration and aesthetics. No real harm if no actinics used, but the blue bulbs may just promote algae growth as they may not be for our salt aquariums. Just did a search and these may work for you. Don't know what size or pin out your bulbs need though...

Just something to keep in mind. The lower the bio load, the easier the maintenance.

Wow. Not to be a silly question but how much of the agent are you "feeding" them?

You can make the silencers from a film case, check the DIY threads Helifaxnz did do a write up.

Yeppers. Don't touch it with you bare hands. That doesn't appear to be the REALLY painful ones, but still can sting you.

Harlequin shrimp are nice too. But you will have to add some starfish twice a month or so (as they eat starfish... nothing else substantially).

Just to add to the voices, LFS are good for being there when you need them and not having to ship anything. But they are for profit. Not all LFS are evil, just make sure you do your part and be an informed shopper. NEVER buy anything on impulse. If there is something you THINK you must have...

And for my 12 nanocube here is what I have: Chamber 1 - nothing Chamber 2 - Chaetomorpha (I have a 3 LED fuge light for this set on a reverse daylight cycle). Chamber 3 - 50w heater and PH Been up for 6 months or so and no problems.

Staying home and handing out candy. Aiden isn't 100% healthy, (plus he doesn't get to eat all that candy). Family should be stopping by too.
