    Alternative to suction cups?

    What size magnet are you using? Depending on size magnet this could be either cheaper or more expensive than a few acrylic brackets. B

    hi new here....

    Honestly you don't need to worry about DT's until you've had your tank up for awhile. Once it's past the cycle by a month or so I'd say mabye a quarter-half a capful per week, unless you get enough lighting that you're keeping a clam. Then you may need to feed a bit more. I wouldn't recommend...

    Quick Need Advice!!!

    Re: my experience Alveopora is a type of coral....Sometimes you see it labled branching flowerpot. Like regular flowerpots it doesn't have a great reputation for doing well in aquariums. There are lots of corals that will starve if they can't or won't extend they're polyps to catch food...

    Help Please!!!!

    Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the magnum.....Mine has a cylindrical filter that sits in the middle. I thought that was the micron filter. You can pour loose, (but rinsed off) carbon on the outside of that filter. As for how much a HOT skimmer would cost, I don't really know in your area...

    My little 3 gal eclipse

    The tank looks really good. I've got one of those green mushrooms in my tank. I haven't been able to find any since I got the one I have. I also like the color of those purple shrooms. I don't think I have any that are quite that purple. B

    Help Please!!!!

    I haven't used the bio spira, so I don't really have any input on it. Your bro had good results with it, so hopefully it'll help. Do you have, or know anyone you can borrow a hang on tank skimmer from? That would help keep pull stuff out as well. I ran my magnum with both the micron and the...

    Help Please!!!!

    I'd suggest stopping your return pump for a couple hours, Just run the HOT magnum...Maybe with a bit less flow through the tank it'll be able to suck out the particulate matter in the main tank area a bit quicker. After a couple hours check and see if it's any clearer, if not, just leave the...

    more light questions-upgrade

    Go for it. That's a good deal for the upgrade, and nothing you've got is going to be hurt by the extra light. You might want to slowly add in the extra light a few hours at a time, but it shouldn't be as big a pain as adding MH to the system. With 220 you'll also be able to try some of the...

    What are your New Years plans?

    Karita, Sorry I missed this earlier. NYE was pretty laid back. We only had 10-15ppl from 9pm up until about 11pm, then another 20-30ppl showed. I rarely take pics at the parties. We've got a friend that loves to do that, and she's got a natural 'eye' for it that I just don't have. I...

    Alternative to suction cups?

    This guy is in Houston, and makes acrylic brackets to hold powerheads. http://www.nicksreef.com/ Most of his stuff is with larger PH in mind, but I'm sure he could make smaller brackets to fit whatever PH you've got if you can send him accurate measurements. He made acrylic brackets to...

    Critters for my nano

    Re: Thanks! Maybe after your tank is mature. 6-9 months. They eat the same things as mandarins. Copepods and Amphipods. There usually isn't enough in a nano to keep them alive for long. Scooters are a bit more prone to start eating flake, and frozen foods though, so people have more...

    Critters for my nano

    Re: How do I tell the difference.. Female yellow tails have the same body shape as the males, but their tale is the same blue as the rest of their body. There isn't any way to visually determine the sex of dominos. Don't put more than one in your tank. It's not really a good idea to...

    Critters for my nano

    Worse than putting in a male and female yellow tail, better than putting in two male, or two female yellow tails. ALL damsels are very aggressive very territorial fish. The larger they get the worse of a bully they become. There's no such thing as a non-agressive damsel. Kinda like there...

    Who turned off the lights?

    I technically was still connected to it, but when I'd click on the photo forum, it wouldn't take me there, just sat on the forums list page. I tried several of the other forums with the same response. Tried to back up and typed in nanotank.com, and got the famous couldn't find the site...
