I agree with skip on everything...except to point out that if you want inverts, I would recommend a protein skimmer. these things are one of the best inventions for reef tanks that have allowed us to keep corals that were previously thought to be impossible to keep in a home reef. I also...

hahaha. that is great! Ive seen those before but I have never had a tank that was big enough to do that with. I'd be afraid that I would bump in to my corals or somthing. jesse

No, there are flatworm all over. I siphon them out a couple times a week. Here are some pics. They are rather difficult to see in the first one, but they are the sort of square-shaped spots all over the rock. They are easier to see in these pics. And seems how I finally...

I havent posted anything new lately, so now is the time. I just did about a 7 gallon water change yesterday...about twice the normal water change..., completely cleaned out the skimmer and it's pump along with all the power heads. I have a bit of a flatworm problem right now, too. But here...

Similar frag Nice find! I have a very similar frag I got for $5 at a local fish store that i had never been to before. I like the placement, too.

anything right around 10 lbs total would be good. ive never seen the rubble in person, so I dont know how big of pieces they are. It may be better just to go with 10 lbs nano-sized pieces and skip the rubble... unless you are going to ad that to your filtration. I took a look at that rock...

Most people use Cheato because it does not go sexual. aslo, you dont need 50/50, actually it prefers 6,500k to 10,000k lighting.

I use oceanic and find that it disolves very rapidly...i only use it for emergencies thou, like when I am out of saltwater or need to raise my SG for some reason. I have heard very good things about Reef Crystals too.

I think she traded this fish in at her local fish store... we'll see. jesse

welcome...and i would recommend the same thing skip did...a 20" fixture. the bulbs are only just under 18" in length so it would work great. also, if you wanted more flexibilty in what you could keep...ie light-demanding corals...you could use a metal halide pendant or easily create a custom...

I believe that a small pc fixture...like one that would go on a betta tank...would be enough for an AC70. like an 18 watt compact fluorescent maybe.

If the "centipede-looking" creature is a bristleworm..especially a FIRE bristleworm...couldnt that be causing an annoyance to the coral. Jesse

Mike: Incredible tank!! Steven: Nice shots!! Great to see your tank progress, Mike. Jesse

nudibranch maybe?

I have heard good things about liveaquaria.com, too. here is a link to their nano live rock pack...16 lbs of small pieces for $70 (about $4.40 per pound, not bad.) Jesse

I would try searching classified ads on other sites such as reefcentral.com and nano-reef.com. I know that there are currently a few people trying to sell their LR. you may just have to break it up, which is really easy...and kind of fun...to do.

Welcome. Good choice on the spraybar...I like that.

just a note...i worked at petco, and each region uses a breeder for their fish, ie. ORA (Ocean Reef and Aquatics) for their salt, and i cant recall the name of the freshwater provider. Petsmart is the same way, they use an outside breeder. just fyi. Jesse

I had a brackish 29 gallon with a group of leopard puffers and figure 8's...they were really fun. They were pretty aggressive and those beaks were nasty. good luck...let us know how they do.

I agree.
