How big is your watchman? The only reason I can think of for him not feeding is inappropriate sized food. I have had a couple and they all ate like they were always starving. Skip

You would mainly want to put mushrooms and polyps in a tank of this size but you could have other soft and LPS frags if you can find small enough specimens and have a plan for them when they grow. Be careful about any corals with sweeper tentacles, you don't have the room in a tank this size...

:welcome to the board! You are off to a good start by planning and then getting opinions before buying. You will be able to keep most LPS along with softies, polyps, mushrooms, and ricordias under the powerquad light. You may even be able to keep some of the lower light SPS though I haven't...

Thanks Steven. I have both IE and Firefox on my computer and was running Firefox when I tried to view them. I'll try the updates and give it another try. Thanks again, Skip

Thats a good deal for an electronic ballast. I almost wish I was in the market for one. Thanks for the link. Skip

There are a few different tanks that may meet your desires at www.nanocustoms.com , take a look at the CPR tank, the Finnex, and the Aquapod as well as the Nanocubes. HTH, Skip

I like any of the topics mentioned. I have a pair of nanocubes now and I am considering taking both of my big tanks down and replacing them with one or two more nanos (any suggestions?). Whatever topic is decided on I plan on "attending". Skip

A very nice job. Looks great.

:welcome to nanotank! I would use apair of 250 watt HQI DE MHs, the studies that have been done by Sanjay Joshi comparing the 250 HQIs with 400 watt MHs have shown that the 250 have a higher PAR value. Since you will be using 250 watt bulbs it will cost less to light the tank. HTH, Skip...

I think this is the light that I have seen used on these tanks, its overall length is 12 inches so it will be slightly longer than your tank. Here is a link: http://www.hellolights.com/12aq2.html . HTH, SKip

Steven, I bought one of these great little units a little while back but I can't figure out how to change the temp from C to F, do you have any idea? I have found nothing in the manual that tells how to change it either. Skip

That must be the thing that Anthony Calfo was walking around with (at MACNA), I didn't get to see it then. It is pretty interesting but not in the average reefers budget unfortunately.

I can't see the videos, I keep getting a message that I need to install additional plug-ins but when I tell it to install them it says "no suitable plug-ins found". Any ideas as to what I need to do? TIA, Skip

It sounds like you have definately proved that our fish are not as delicate as some people say they are. I am so happy to hear that all turned out well for them. For some reasom I can't play the videos, could you post a couple of pics? Skip

You deserve something to make your day brighter. We are happy that you are with us. Skip

I have 2 of those heaters and one was free. I have not had any problems with them at all and at IMAC last year the rep would throw them one the floor and then plug them in with no problems. I don't use Catalina water (at least not yet) but you should be able to do a normal water change with it...

You really don't have to worry about hydroids unless you are keeping dwarf seahorses or breeding fish. They are a type of jellyfish (or at least in the same family, I'm not quite sure which). Skip

Is it too late to write a letter to Santa? :D

I just reread this entire thread and you said that you had a DIY surface skimmer on your prizm and in another place you mentioned you had modded the prizm. I am curious as to how you built the surface skimmer and what other mods did you do to it? I would appreciate any pics you may have...

The posts I have read were mainly talking about self modded tanks. I recall reading about one of Chris' modded tanks actuall running cooler than the stock tank did. I think it was the 6 gallon with the 3.18 upgrade. If you check out the nanocustoms site you will find they also sell unmodded...
