    Dead Tank?

    Sadie covered it well. When you bought your LR, was there lots of colorful coraline algae and plant matter or was it dead and white looking? Sometimes, places will sell their rock as live, when in reality there is not much living on it at all. However, even the dry base rock that you can...

    Mixing sand and argonite

    Most LS should be aragonite-based, so it should be no problem mixing the two. I would put the new sand in the new tank first, then put the LS from the 5 gal on top of the new stuf. The LS will quickly seed the new sand. You may see a small cycle after you disturb the existing sand bed, so...

    My new babies!!

    VERY NICE!!! I started with a pair JUST like that. Keep a close eye out to make sure both are eating. There may be some dominance issues where one keeps the other from eating. I also found that mine turned jet black after just a week in my tank, even at that size. I think it has to do...

    Taking on a bigger project.... Please give ideas.

    First off, I think that a Mag 5 is too small. With just a straight 5 foot head with 1 1/4" PVC (doube the outlet diam. of the pump), you are looking at about 250 GPH... I think that you should shoot for about twice that at least. If you are looking at Mags, go with at least the Mag 7. With 1...

    Which Tank 6-12 ? Where

    Welcome! First off, the only one I am personally familiar with is the nanocube. I dont know much about any of the others. But I can say that I would go with the biggest tank that will fit your needs. Between the 6 and 12, I would go with the 12. More water= more stability. Others will...

    12g NANO LIGHT UPGRADE (70w vrs 150w this time) 05.04.06

    As long as you acclimate the zoas properly to the MH, you wont have bleaching. And as long as you have overhangs and such that you can put frags like blues and others that prefer a shaded area, than the zoas would be fine with a 150 watter. I also remember seeing somewhere that Mike plans on...
