    Aerating

    With the water current most of our tanks have, aeration occurs on the top of the water. If you see ripples on the surface of the water then more than likely enough oxygen is in your water.

    Reefermikes 72 Gallon Bowfront - Nov 5/06

    Um I noticed your outlet under your tank isn't GFCI. My suggestion is to switch to one. I'm on board to see how this tank developes. Love it so far.

    A prop tank? Am I crazy?

    Or foxit reader :) It's MUCH smaller and MUCH quicker at opening PDF files. Only thing is that it won't open Adobe encrypted PDF files... just FYI

    2.5G Tank Question

    78-80 degrees, the clown might be too much for such a small tank though. Not sure as I don't do pico tanks. Drs. Foster and Smith is a good online store to shop around.

    Glueing Rocks together

    I would. But then again make sure that the pump isn't off too long. Shouldn't take long for the glue to set well enough to withstand a current anyways.

    Calcium, Strontium, Ph Buffer, Phytoplankton and Iodine

    A chiller is a heat sink for your fish tank. It acts like a refrigerator for your water. With a chiller and a heater you will have very steady temperatures. A lot of people get away with just using a fan though.

    New addition

    Yes very nice looking indeed!

    Alkalinity and Calcium (+ stocking Q's)

    That should be fine, normally invertabrates don't add too much to the bioload, it's fish and food that really hits hard. Can we see some pics of your tank after your new additions?

    Are these corals ok for a 12G nano tank?

    Side question. I thought kenya tree grew pretty fast? While not making it a bad choice, just not a great one. Or do I have this mixed up with another softy?

    Getting back into it, Just ordered a 12G Nanocube

    I'm not a nancube kind of guy but what you have listed sounds like a great start. I wouldn't add anything other than a buffer, just do water changes. Um I guess about 15 pounds of live rock would be a good place to start. An inch or two of sand should do fine too. I'm not sure if the cube you...

    Pics of my 29g Biocube

    Flower pot coral? I thought that was zenia. LOL oh well, shows how much I know :D . Here's my question, if light won't reach the bottom then why did the clams move there?

    Water change question

    Well....how about siphoning out water while pouring in a gallon at at time? I have a sump to do my water changes...

    Pics of my 29g Biocube

    I LOVE it. Not a box full of zoas! (Ok Eddy bring it! :D ) Can you list out what's in there? I'm not so good at IDing. I think I see torch, zenia, frogspawn, bubble or hammer, candy cane, GSP, mushrooms, and is that a sun coral? How did I do :?:

    Water change question

    Corals can be exposed to air for the length it will take you to change your water. Don't take nine hours changing your water though :lol:

    Name for this tank type

    You could always get glass cut to size and make your own tank. Look up piratesreef's project, very nicely done. From what I understand it's not too expensive or too difficult.

    Name for this tank type

    I personally prefer the DIY 10g or 20g long. Much nicer looking and it seems everyone had to modify the all in ones to suit there needs anyways. So why not start with a clean slate? Good luck!

    20 gal.long or 14gal. nano cube

    I second the 20 L. You can get lighting that will allow you to keep ANY coral with very few problems. Plus you can drill the tank to add a sump or just use hang on back filters. Have fun in China! Eat a potsticker or two for me!!

    Name for this tank type

    I think you are talking about the nanocubes. There is also the Current Aquapod that is a "all in one" tank system. I don't use either but plenty of users here have them. Seems the nanocube is the more popular tank, just make sure to get a new one (2006) because the old ones have a possibility...
