:opps Oh my goodness! I should really check my posts! I meant to say " A protien skimmer is NOT needed on a 6g really". Weekly water changes will work just fine. Sorry about the confusion. You made the right choice IMO. :isorry Tim :whist:

wow, you are quick. I was going to tell you to get the surface skimmer. A protien skimmer is needed on a 6g really.

Thanks Tim

I plan on having these corals: Sun Coral Frogspawn Red open brain Colt Soft Coral Yellow Leather Soft Coral Xenia But I am a bit stumped on the phrase spot feed. :isorry Do I get an eyedropper like item and squeeze shrimp at the coral? I know how to feed the Sun Coral...

You are going to spend more on the 24 but can also have a more interesting range of inhabitants. If you do get a nanocube make sure it's a 2006 model. The 2005's had a habit of busting for no reason. (it has been fixed) HTH

No problem. I think this debate will go on for a very long time. It just comes down to the individual on how they feel about animals. Sadielynn obviously loves animals very much (as do I) and considers her hobby more of a responsibility to care for an animal that can no longer care for...

I've heard great things about the aquapods. They took alot of feedback from the '05 Nanocube owners and made a very nice product (if a little more pricey). This has a little info on them: http://www.seatechaquariums.com/Product ... 4,0138.htm

I think I'll give the Hagen products a try. I heard great things about the Salifert tests, but I like the idea of the multiple tests together (silly I know but It's the truth) plus I could use the Iron test in my freshwater tank. I should have pictures of the equipment I have right now at...

OH ok, I'm a newbie too. Was a little thrown off by the live fish. I've heard dead shrimp or urine will work too. Whatever works, right? :loon:

I found this searching for a comprehensive test kit, anyone use these? I don't mind paying for test kits, I just would like to get the tests I will use often and not have too many dangerous chemicals in the house (baby on the way It's a boy!!!). http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem. ...

Aren't zoos poisonous? Like as in one of the more powerful neurotoxins that has no anti-toxin? Sorry for the odd post but great looking tanks, kinda makes me want to make a custom tank of less than normal dimensions. Tim Schmidt

You are about to cycle but have a fish in there? I'm a bit confused. Tim Schmidt

Just remember to take into consideration that you should measure the INSIDE of the tank, otherwise you will get a number that is a couple gallons off. Not too serious but if you are medicating a tank you will definitely want to know how much water is really in your tank, not how much glass and...

Very nice looking! Why did you choose the nano cube instead one of the other nano sets like the aquapod?

That NURCE seems to be perfect! I will have more than enough room for one in my stand. The only problem is I couldn't find one for sale. Any clues on where to look? Ebay is out and an internet search came up dry. Otherwise I guess I'll do the float switch ATO, seems to be a bit more stable...

Thanks for the info on the cleaning crew! How about cleaning the tank? Do you siphon LS? I am having a hard time finding a stand I like so I'm going to see if I can get one custom built. (I don't have the tools needed otherwise I would do it) You all have been very helpful, thank you...

Yeah guess they can get to about 40mm so they are out. Here is my revised clean up crew: 3 astreas snails 4 nassarious snails 5 blue leg hermit crabs 1 Cleaner shrimp If anyone has an opinion please tell. I unfortunately have to wait until April before I can set this up...

So get the Astreas instead of the turbo snails or with the turbo snails?

Wow thanks EDGRAY! That site is super newbie friendly. And I found the blenny I was talking about. It is called the lawnmower blenny, however I don't think I'll put him in. Instead I found two fish I like. Any comments on compatibility would be appreciated. The Firefish and the Red Sea...

Hello all, I have been reading up on reefcentral on nanotanks and was directed to this site (which has been very helpful from just reading other posts). Here are a couple of questions I have about my first setup. The general layout is a ten gallon tank with a ten gallon...
