3/16" is perfect. And glass is a better choice IMO. Jesse

I am no clam expert, but surefire signs are a mantle that isnt fully extended and that is losing its color. Most of the clams we keep in our reef are from the shallows...not deeper than ~20 feet i think. Actually, until clams reach ~3" in length, they cannot support themselves on light...

I had a G/S maroon that ate ANYTHING I put in the tank. I never had to turn any of the pumps off...he had NO problem chasing the food down. I prefer the little Formula One (or whatever) pellets because i think any uneaten food makes less of a mess than flakes do. Jesse

If indeed you do have a large population of aiptasia, do get a peppermint shrimp. They will handle the aiptasia and will thrive even after the population is gone. I have had the same peppermint for 2.5 years now and he is still thriving and I rarely see an aiptasia. When I do see one, thats...

Mike, The other pump I'm looking at is the QuietOne 4000. I have heard alot of good stuff about them, and those who have had problems with them got great support from the manufacture. It only consumes 50 watts, has a 10.5 ft max head, and at 4 ft head produces around 775 gph. Push that...

Im slackin on my Ca dosing and the purple is lightening up a little. gotta keep up on dosing... thanks for the kind words.... Jesse

Mike, your tank is amazing. Stop it with the pictures...it keeps me up all night researching ways to get my tank to look like that! Jesse

Not much to update...just been doing a ton of research...I want to do this tank the right way. One update. I made the holes slightly to properly fit the 2 1" bulkheads. Second update. I bought a SCWD that should arrive in a couple of days. I created a partial CLM (closed loop...

Nobody has seen (well, read) a beating until you visit Mike's thread on reefcentral.com about the Crocea that he had in his HIGHLY upgraded nano cube...I think it was the "MikeGuerrero" nanocustoms edition. OMG...the comments made on that thread were insane!! Oh well...shouldnt bring up the...

Thanks for the kind words Eddie. It was a pleasure showing you a little bit of my stomping grounds... Reef Collection is working its way into my #1 favorite LFS choice. Really look forward to seeing those zoas in your tank...its always neat seeing corals that were once in you tank now...

Edgray and I met up today and traded a couple frags...he got some zoas from me, and I got this...ain't she pretty? Jesse p.s. Look forward to seeing some pics of the zoas in their new home!! Here is the frags I gave him...I zapped that aiptasia before I traded it.

If I got paid an hourly wage for being here, I could've retired by now!

Yeh, mine too..the HOT magnum is a Hang On Tank magnum canister...really cool. Well i will defiently be incorporating carbon into my new system. Thanks you two. Jesse

Mike, It takes some guts to post this thread on "that other site". It was a sure shot for a flaming. Oh well, you handle yourself well. IMO, it does seem like alot of tang, but I think with your diligence and observational abilities (if that makes sense), everything will be okay. I dont...

Because LED lights use pratically no electricity and last for tens of thousands of hours, some people choose to let them run 24 hours a day. Otherwise, run them the reverse of your daylighting...when your lights go off, LEDS come one...lights come one, LEDs go off.

IMO, the best heaters out there are the titanium heaters...they are more expensive bbut they will run precisely for many many years. Jesse

I think that this thread should help you out a little. Go about half way down for some great pics... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.p ... opic=77662 Jesse

Welcome...as far as lighting goes, that depends on exactly what kind of softies you are talking about, some need more light and some need less. However, if I were to set up a 15g, I would go with the Dual Satellite 24" 2x65 watt PC fixture. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/P ...

I began running my HOT magnum yesterday with carbon and filter floss. It has now been running for almost 24 hours and I cannot believe the difference!! Usually when I put my arm in the tank and then removed it, I was left with a light "ocean scent" on my arm...now there is no odor. The water...

Eddie...I think that originated with skip...and then the rest of us stole it...HTH= Hope That Helps. so...HTH. Jesse
