Diatoms are fairly normal. I've never had them in any of my tanks since I leave the lights off in all of them when they're cycling. B

I'd say feed every 2-3 days, and just use smaller portions. You should also be feeding some type of phytoplankton if you've got a clam. DT's, and bioplankton are the two top products out right now. B

I'm guessing you mean a flame angel. A nano cube is too small for any species of angel, so it's not a good idea reguardless. If you're talking about firefish, they're perfect for a nano cube. Clowns are good. I'd get rid of the damsel if I were you, like sadielynn mentioned they are all very...

Asterinas are not known to eat corals. There are a few hobbyists that think that they were eating their coral, but none of the ones that I've read about were conclusive in any way. It was just as likely that the coral was dying from something else and the asterinas were simply cleaning up the...

mmmm...I may have to look into that later. B

Nope...but I've known the folks involved for awhile, (online mostly), and everyone on Marsh has been very complimentary. B

Very nice looking I really like the base/canopy. B

Baby brine are a whole other story. They actually are nutritious, but they're a lot of work. Way more than I'm willing to deal with. Two thumbs up for you Steven for being willing to do it. :thumb: :thumb: B

Hmmm. Gus, let me state that I don't think you're stupid at all. I also don't care that much about grammer and punctuation or misspellings, or typos, as long as the message is still understandable enough to get the point across. I'm not a big nit-picker about this stuff. If you don't...

Yep. The problem with frozen or live adult brine is it's nutritionally worthless. It's like you trying to live on popcorn. It'll fill you up, but you'll still starve to death if that's all you eat. Mysis, krill, cyclopeeze, finely chopped up silversides are all better food choices. If...

SM, Are you concerned about the SCWD breaking? How are you going to keep detritus from entering it and killing it? After reading thread after thread about folks having to pull them back off their systems because they've malfunctioned I generally advise against using them, but you're one of...

:roll: The guy sounds like a typical LFS moron. HOB power filters are fine for smaller tanks, and I know that some people use them on mid-size tanks, but anything over a 55-75g tank and they just aren't gonna do you any good. And even on those size tanks they're not good for waterflow, only...

I may try to borrow it for a weekend sometime in the next couple weeks and play with trying to take pics of the tanks with it. I'll let you know if I find out anything cool. B

:lol: This totally made me laugh because I don't think I have a single pic of us from the NO aquarium. I did get a couple of us outside around NO, but once we hit the doors of the aquarium I was pretty focused on the tanks. B

http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthrea ... did=598426 It appears he's got it plumbed correctly. The canister filter just takes/returns the water to/from the sump. B

Personally I prefer the AC, cause you can make it a HOB fuge if feel like it. However being able to change/add media like phosban, carbon, denitrator etc... is a nice feature. Price may be an option. AC500s can be had for less than $35. I don't know of a cannister filter that's durable...

Sand or rock won't really factor in whether they do well or not. Amount of light and flow are more important. Some seem to like it shadier than others. most will extend their feeding tentacles after the lights go out, some folks target feed them at this point. If they get really happy and...

C-64 was after the atari. I had one of those too. I learned basic, (the computer language), on the c-64, and was dialing up to BBSs before the 'Internet' had any sort of graphic interface. In my grandmother's lifetime she went from riding on a horse and buggy to flying across the country in...

Your initial post wasn't thought provoking it was indecipherable. There's a difference. We still don't know what the original post was about. Care to clue us in? B

From the link I'm not sure that you and I are looking at it the same way. What I think you're describing would be his tank overflows to the canister filter which then pumps water into the sump. The water is then pumped back to the tank via the return pump. I don't think this is what's...
