There is a lettuce nudibranch available in the hobby that isn't hard to keep but you have to have sufficient algae for him to eat, thats all they will eat and if there isn't enough available they will starve so IMO they are not a suitable specimen for a nanotank. Skip

The watts per gallon rule is oudated, as time has passed we have learned that the wattage over a tank is not comparable when you are talking about different kinds of lighting. One example would be that (I am going a bit extreme but the point should be easy to see) you cannot compare my 440...

Welcome, it's always great to see new people in the hobby. Nice looking tank so far. I have 2 nanocubes (a 12DX and a 6) and I like them better than my larger tanks. I look forward to more pics of your progress. Skip

That was great! I thought it was kinda corny until the end. Thanks for sharing. Skip

I have drilled 4 or 5 tanks with the same method and another bit that I found useful was a diamond drum sander. It seems like I am kinda shy about drilling the hole too big and I end up needing to open it up a little and the drum sander is perfect for the job, it only takes a few seconds to...

Have a great birthday!

You may want to take a look at Sanjay Joshis webpage. He doesn't tel you which bulb to use but gives you a ton of info about the different bulbs and reflectors and ballasts he has tested so you can make an informed decision on your own. His address is: http://www.reeflightinginfo.arvixe.com/...

Any ballast made to run 96 watt PCs will run either a regular straight bulb or the powerquads.

You can also use a small plastic bowl turned upsidedown and put it over thew coral you are trying to feed to keep the food from being carried away by the current. you just have to remember to remove it 5 or 10 minutes after feeding. PS If the big frozen bars seem like too much for a...

Can you send me the pics at [email protected] I may be looking to upgrade my 6 which has only the stock lighting.

I plan to try an tune in for a bit.

If space isn't an issue keep as much of the original water as you can so when things finally get back in the tank its more like a water change than having to adjust to new tankwater. Coolers are a must like already mentioned. If you have a DSB you may want to start over with a shallow sandbed...

Thanks for the heads up Dragon, I found a couple of online vendors selling them for just under $100. None of the LFS in my area carry them.

5# is the smallest cylinder I have heard of that is designed to be connected to a regulator. I did notice that the 20 oz. cylinder loks like it had a threaded neck, maybe you could replace the current fitting with a standard valve?

One of the vendors at MACNA had them and I was interested in them but didn't get a chance to really look them over. Thanks for your input, I may add one to my wish list now. Skip

Idon't have one on my current nano (NanoCube DX) but I do have an AquaC Remora that I have used before. I also have an AquaC EV150 on one of my tanks and an ETSS Reef Devil III on the other big tank.

You can use any pump that will fit in the chamber. I have heard of people using Rios and I have an AquaGlobe AQ 300 in mine.

It was a nice suprise for me, I haven't had time to visit the site for about a week and was quite impressed when I logged in today. Skip PS I especially like the quick reply option.

I have both the 6 gallon and 12 DX and like them both. The main advantage to the 12 DX is that it has much better lights. I know the watt per gallon thing doesn't mean much but the 6 has 3 wpg and the 12 DX has 4 wpg just as a comparison. This means you will be able to keep more light loving...

Any pics with the new lights?
