Here is a pic or three. :strip Currently just water and sand. He helped!

I am not the best person to ask for ID. But my christmas tree worm rock is doing something similar so I would like to hear what someone else says :) Can you post a pic?

She's a beauty all right! How is the canister holding up? How to do clean the canister? Any check valves, or ball valves? I love it. Can you tell :shock:

Well I got this setup up for a killer price - free. I am 99% positive that this is the 12 gallon model. I had to replace the pump (an equivalent to the maxi jet 600) and I'm sure the lights will need replacing (it has two power compacts, stock lighting I'm sure). But it has the surface...

Well I started off only wanting to do "non-chemical" solutions. But chemistry is a fact for our reef tanks. If it looks like aiptaisa, kill it. :D Just my 2 cents. I've heard a couple people talk about using lemon juice, but I haven't used it personally.

Yup, pump upgrade. Maybe lighing. I personally use Seachem test kits, but the one comment I have about seachem test kits are the tiny little trays to do the kit. Not a lot of room for mistakes. I like them but that is one design flaw I think.

Well any tank will work as long as you like it. I personally don't have a pico but I have seen hang on back filters to add mechanical and chemical filtration. The smaller the tank the cheaper the startup cost, but yes - more maintenance is needed the smaller the tank. I don't think that a...

This weekend my to do list is: 1. 30% water change. 2. Build new 30 gallon sump/fuge. 3. Clean up the wiring on the new lighing (left them long just in case, now I can them up) 4. Adjust heating. 5. Switch from flexible tubing to PVC 6. Purchase new RO/DI container

Well since all the old links are broken here are a couple photos of the new and improved 90 gallon. The 55 gallon is currently the sump, but I am changing it out for a 30 gallon that will actually fit into stand. FTS Left Center Right Frogspawns Bubblecorals...

LOL How could I compete! :shock: heck I know that his photo is better! But I have coral in the tank now :wlift Congrats Ed!

If it is algae then your tests will appear fine because the algae is using up the excess nutrients in your water column. If you are feeding try cutting down a bit, or increase water flow, or reduce lighting. But if it is coralline algae then that is a sign of a healthy tank.

Well here is a link to some common algae. You want coralline algae ( I would guess the pink stuff, can't tell without pics), macro algae (calpura or chaeto are common ones), umm and maybe a few more. Diatoms (probably the brown stuff in your tank) normally not good, green hair algae, red hair...

Just to make sure I typed this out right. 1st Clean up crew (inverts, no fish) 2nd Coral 3rd Fish

Fair enough. You will need to make sure your levels stay ideal. With that much stony coral and clams your CA will need to be ideal.

LOL in my tank the firefish are the bullies. That will change when the tang is introduced (I hope). I don't see anything blazingly odd about the list, but I am no expert.

You may want to consider astrea snails instead of turbo only due to size. Other than that looks ok. I personally love hermits so I would add a couple (3-5) dwarf hermit crabs (blue leg, scarlet, or zebra).

Just make sure if it is aggressive you give the coral room (flower pot). That is a very detailed listing. I don't have experience with a lot of it but I don't see anything that would concern me. Just make sure you don't add the dragon goby the same time as the snails, crabs, and such. You may...

Normally coral first only because of the bio load that each part of the tank adds. Clean up crew add little to no bio load. Corals generally add little or no bio load (but if you feed them the bio load is a bit higher). Fish on the other hand add quite a bit to the bio load so if you add them...

From what I have read no. I actually run chemi-pure and plan on keeping it running 24/7.

Nice. I love the overhang. Looks like a great place for a frogspawn coral! :D
