About the oxygenation thins...protein skimmers help to get oxygen into the water. Dont use those tubes for the powerdeas, it will just shoot microbubbles all over the place. Jesse

Well, the frogspawn is gone. Thanks alot Rudy (or is it Roodee?). Look forward to the pics. The monti and remaining zoa frags are pending sale... Thanks you all. Jesse

Mike, I cant believe it!! That fishsupply.com is a store on Beach blvd...right by my house!! Is it true? A LFS that i have not been to? No!!! Gotta go. I really dont know how I have managed to miss that place for the 8+ years Ive lived in Huntington Beach. Thanks alot, Jesse

p.s. Figured i would share this with you... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.p ... ht+advance It is an entire 14 page thread about this particular fixture. Some people do a simple modification to it because sometimes it sticks out over the tank too far and they modify the arm to fix...

That would work very well. The 20,000k bulb is very blue, and is less intense than the lower kelvin bulbs like the 10,000k and 14,000k, but it will definetly work. The HQI's are the way to go, the mogul type 175's arent as intense. Just make sure that you have the glass shield in place to...

Ive got first dibbs on that clam if you need a new home!! Outstanding tank, Eddie...but you could have told me you had a clam when we met up! Jesse

They may be referring to the old 2005 models...

Yes, the 2006 now include a surface skimmer and upgraded pump. If you are getting new live rock, you dont need to add anything to start the cycle. there will be plenty of dead and dying material on the LR whether it is cured or not. For a 12, you may want a couple Nassarius sp. snails...

the jagers are the most reputable company out there...definetly one of the best. And yes, the glass is Pyrex which does add some strength. Jesse

I think that these are the best heaters out there... http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem. ... uct=WB1113 I personally use the stealth heater... http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/P ... 004+113767 Some people suggest using two smaller heaters...one in the main tank and one in the...

For a 24" high tank, you will want to seriously consider using metal halide rather than compact fluorescent. A 150 watt 14,000k MH setup would work perfect over a 12"x12" tank. This kit would work really nice in a custom canopy...easy to build and the kit is plug-n-play...

First off, welcome. There are a couple links on this site for common upgrades for these nanocubes. I would say that the lighting you have with the DE modelis fine, but i think you may want to consider upgrading the pump right off the bat. This will help to increase the flow through the tank...

This isnt the first time i have heard bad stuff about them, their service, and their products. That sucks that you got yelled at for trying to give their company money. Jesse

Very nice...loks very clean and finished. DIY projects are SO rewarding. Almost everything on my 20L project is DIY...stand, canopy and lighting, refugium, drilling holes... I wouldnt do it any other way! Jesse

The lighting depends on what corals you have or want to keep. I think the a 15H measures 20"Lx10"w(?). If so, go with the coralife 96watt quad light. It is around $85 and is the most watts you can get for a 20" power compact fixture. If you want light demanding corals, you may want to...

Wai...you are looking at the 26 hf right? like 1,500gph? If so, both the rio 26hf and quietOne 6000 use 1" fittings. Dont get me wrong, i currently use a rio 50 and 90, but i wouldnt recommend these larger model pumps. Jesse

Many people feel that the "rolling" action is highly beneficial to cheato. Obviously this action can only be achieved in an area that is large enough. Lighting is usually one watt per liter for cheato...depending on the depth. If this is going on a nanocube, the best way to light it is by...

Also, i think the one you are looking at at nanocustoms.com is the Rio 6HF, not the 26HF.

I would recommend going with another pump. I was looking in to the Rio 17 HF and heard NOTHING but bad stuf about it...from breaking prematurly, electrical shock/fire!!....trust me, it was a bummer, I really wanted to go with it. It looks like instead i will be going with a QuietOne 4000...they...
