Hey all... I'm workin on putting together a battery-powered 5 gallon ATO, all I need is a float switch. In the mean time, I threw this little guy together. It is a 1 gallon gravity-fed ATO made using a gatorade bottle... works like a charm! Plus it cost nothing! Check it out...

Is that lava rock safe for reef tanks? Jesse

Dont worry about the red bristly stuff, i have the green variety and it doesnt cause any problems. But like sadie said, do a water change, about 30-40%, and do some manual removal as best as you can. Jesse

I would add an additional PC... if you DO decide to go with MH, go with a 20,000k bulb. Jesse

No matter what upgrade you go with, you will have to add a fan or two to keep down the temp with the added heat... dont forget about that. Jesse

YOU LUCKY, LUCKY MAN!!!! Incredible! Jesse

MUCH BETTER!! Is that MH pendant? How many watts? Jesse

LR rubble in a trickle works well... Jesse

John, those are amazing... you said that you are selling a frag? I would be interested if no one else is. Jesse

That is what I have heard and read as well...good points. Jesse

Looks good, but isnt that moonlight a little bright? Jesse

Hmmm... I would put this coral as high as you can in the tank and just keep an eye on it. Do you see good polyp extension? This coral whould look sorta shaggy. Jesse p.s. Place this coral a couple inches away from all the other corals... it can be aggressive.

I dont know what you really mean by this. Really the only stronger lighting is MH, which you could do if you went topless and got a 70 watt JBJ Viper K-2. Otherwise, all you can do is add more 18 watt PC's. The higher wattage PC's are going be longer an thus they wouldnt fit in your canopy...

This is a good one that J/D linked to...I would go with it. http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem. ... uct=ICK464 Jesse

I wouldnt suggest those guys... they are decieving. All that is included in those kits is the acrylic... you even have to assemble it yourself. Jesse

That is great to here! Now hopefully you can relax a little and enjoy! Jesse

hydnopora is a high lighting, high flow coral. It is a flat-growing SPS. I have heard that this coral is "on-the-fence"....that is to say it is an LPS that is often written off as an LPS. Either way, care for it as an SPS. That being said, can you remind me what your lighting, tank size...

Thats great rock though... worth the cost. Jesse

A single MH wont cut it on a 48" long tank... you would want at least two, maybe three on that length. As far a which bulbs, I am not all that familiar with VHO's, but I would guess that two 10,000k and two actinics would be the best combo, although others here probably know more than i do...
