Thanks alot, Andre. That means alot to me. The clam is very colorful and is doing great for what I can tell. I have been dosing Ca on a regular basis now to keep that up for the clam. I have been keeping a close eye on my pH and alkalinity...they are a tad less than they should be, but they...

Hello and welcome. I agree that you should add some of the larger grain sand, but you wont need too much of the coral sand...just a pound or two I would imagine. It will eventually sift out from the small grains anyways and just end up on the top of the sand bed. 3" should be fine...4" IS a...

Hello and welcome to nanotank. Like Dickie said, it really depends on your budget (or lack thereof) and what you want to keep. Use the search engine on this site or search through this forum and you will find previous suggestions as well. Jesse

Get a 70 watt MH retro kit... or 150 depending on what you want to keep... and make a simple canopy to mount it in. Then just hang it above the tank. Check out www.illuming.com... great kits, plug-n-play, free shipping. HTH, Jesse

I agree with these three. Jesse

Me too skip. I have never used an ASM, but I know that many people including Anthony Calfo highly recommend them...and for $119, you cant beat that. Jesse

ASM makes a great G-series mini skimmer that is $119 or less, pump and shipping included...check it out... http://www.asmskimmer.com/ Jesse

Very nice tank! Very clean...I really like the rockwork. Those clowns are great. Jesse

the images arent working. Jesse

I agree. Jesse

Thanks sadie...sorry about that.

p.s. I think i misread this thread! I find that mine prefer medium to high indirect flow and medium to high light...it depends on the color, ie. blues are from a bit deeper depth than the brighter colors. Jesse

Hello all. I have decided to take advantage of this section by posting about environmental issues relating to coral reefs. We are all involved in a hobby that sets out to recreate these naturally occurring ecosystems, so we should have some understanding as to what is taking place within...

I highly recommend finding corals from other members of websites, reef clubs, and other reefers. You get corals for half the price that are twice as nice as anything you'll see at a typical LFS. There are also nice websites out there... one is platinumreefs.com (but they are all sold out...

Is that plant live or fake? If it is live, your gonna want a light like the Azoo Palm light or similar. Cute though, I have a 3/4gallon red sea with a beta, they are cool. Jesse

This is definitely a unique tank...good work! Jesse

What parameters are you tesing for exactly? I could be something that you are not testing. Jesse

Thanks alot Jordan, your right. the colors really do pop under the MH lighting. If any one would like to respond, please do so here... http://www.nanotank.com/forum/viewtopic ... highlight= Thank you. Jesse

I think the Ric is starting to split or something. I placed them under a ledge to keep too much light/water flow from hitting them. I am still only running the halide an hour or so a day...trying to acclimate everything slowly. The rock is okay, it just isnt what Im going for. Jesse

They ones at HD arent swing check valves and are spring-loaded flaps instead. These would probably add a lot to the head loss. The ones designed for fish tanks are swings which add little resistance. Jesse
