That is an incredible set-up!! Very clean and well thought-out! Jesse

my tank runs at 80-81. if you run your tank cooler like that, when your lights come on youmay experience large swing in temp...this can be stressful. 72 is too cold...turn your heater up to 77 or so...but do it over a couple day period, not all in one day. Jesse

Very nice tank...very natural, it doesnt look forced (if that makes sense). Keep an eye on that grape caulpera and slow down just a bit...it'll pay off. Jesse

After seeing one in person at a LFS for the first time last weekend, i wouldnt think that they would work very well...They are so teeny that there would be very little contact time with the air bubbles. it can only be somewhat effective with that along with it's short stature. If you COULD...

Oh yeh...the one in gardena right? Jesse

At a LFS...they had better prices than anybody...even online prices. Still, what you see there cost me $30. But I have a couple extra pieces that i am going to take back for credit. Jesse

I know that Salifert are usually the most accurate, but FastTest should be pretty accurate as well. I dont know much about the Haegens. Maybe an average of the two...~375? haha. What Kind of corals are you keeping? Jesse

Did you see those at circle pet, eddie? I think that is where i saw them...they are pretty neat. Jesse

Make sure that your ric is not in an area of high flow...they prefer lower flow areas. I feed my tank phytoplex and chromaplex once a week, switching between the two every week. I have also recently started feeding cyclopeeze as well. HTH, Jesse

This should help you out... http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod ... pCatId=667 ...basically moderate light and low to moderate flow. Congrats on your new additions... any pics yet? Jesse

Once you are ready to get corals (ie. you are sure your tank is stable) Tongs in Huntington Beach is a GREAT place to get them. I see that you are in Corona which would be somewhat of a drive, but it may be worth it if you where in the area. It is off the 405 freeway at Magnolia... Tong's...

I am really sorry to hear all the trouble that is taking place right now. I hope that it all works out well very soon. The anemone is a major bummer...that has to be hard to take. :cryinga:

i have 3/4" pvc...not a power head. thats the main reason. I also have the alternating current. And actually, the clowns are less than 1" each...yes, they look teeny in my 30" long tank. I have to say that once you put these into your tank, there is nothing boring about them. they have a...

I also wanted to share some info that I think might be useful for those of you with refugiums. I came across this light at Wal-Mart (there is already some salt creap collecting on mine)..... It is a screw-in self ballasted compact fluorescent light...Lights of America brand. Here is...

Just wanted to share a couple more baby pics...man they are tough to get clear shots of the both of them together!

I would say that weekends would be most acomadating for everyone, considering that most are busy on weeknights. Jesse

Electronic ballasts are the best for MH...magnetics can shorten the life of the bulb and produce more heat.... Check out this site http://www.illuming.com/ The Aromat ballast is great, but the metal halide retro kits the best deal and are fantastic. This guy is very trusted...he is a...

Did you get that rock at Petco? It looks like the Walt Smith that they sell there. Good start...sounds like you got a ton of help from Sadie and Jennie. Jesse

Can you hang the canopy? Check out my link... http://www.nanotank.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2794 ...this would defeat the height problem. How tall is the tank? If it is over 16" tall or so, i would suggest considering the 150 watters if you want clams/ SPS. Two MH on a 36" long tank is...

Yes, you can do that. However, all that is useable is the housing. You would have to wire in a MH ballast, change out the socket, and the reflector that comes with those isnt all that great. Here is a possible useful link... make sure to read the whole thread...
