I noticed the same thing about the "stock lighting". So i tried to research your tank...I noticed that you said you got it a creative aquatics. I couldnt find a website though, do they have one? Im always interested in new sites! Im with incysor...I used to work at PETCo...USED to. Nice...

okay...I'll let it be then. Thanks again guys.

This has just appeared in my tank within the last 2 to 3 days. It began as a soft spot about the size of a pea and is now a 2 inch tube. There is sand stuck to it and an opening at the end, almost like a feather duster. I just noticed it today and I haven't seen anything in it. Any ideas on...

Are you looking for a specific mod? There are a few outlines on this website for retros on filtration, light and the such. http://www.nanotank.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1688

Just a note...along with Abarnswells post. I was studying Shimeks "Marine Invertebrates" book and read about bumblebee snails (Engina mendicaria). It surprised me when it said that it is a predatory snail that will prey on beneficial animals in live snad and in live rock. It says, "It is sold...

To help coraline algae grow, you just need good lighting, monitor your calcium at about 400-450 ppm, low phosphates, that about it. some supplements help, too.

I think it differs depending on your rating , but for me the pics have to be less than 600x600 pixels and smaller than .25 mp's.

It looked similar to this nudi that i found online at http://www.humboldt.edu/~natmus/newslet ... luscs.html

Well...I did a little research and i dont think it is a chiton nor a limpet. It doesnt have a distinct shell, instead it has a hard surface only in it s head region (only about a fifth of its body). This hard spot is the light purple area in pic 3. the rest of the body is soft like a slug...

I just found this bad boy crawling up the glass of my tank. I think it is a chiton. If so, they are good, right? Let me know

I think that this article covers the issue of lighting very well. All beginners should read about lighting before getting into reefing because it is generally one of the most expensive parts of the reef tank and sometimes one of the more daunting aspects. Anyway, I found it interesting and...

P.S Brown algae is expected in the first few weeks...its not necessarily "bad" algae.

you will probably continue to have brown algae until the tank settles. that is fairly normal for new tanks. I agree with you on the refugium idea...especially with those nanocubes. Have you checked out MasterEr's nano? http://www.nanotank.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1688 that is bound to do...

The only way to increase the amount of light in your tank is to add additional fixtures or to change to another type of lighting, such as metal halide (which i think might be a challenge on a 12 g eclipse). I would recommend that you look into adding compact fluorescent fixtures to your tank...

I would add some turbo snails. Do you use R/O water for changes/topoffs? How long has your tank been set up?

you know... i tried a feather duster, spent $15 on it to find my hermits pulling him out of his tube and chomping away on it the next night. :doh maybe that is what happened to you

Looks good. what are some specs? What kind of lights, filtration, what do you plan on stocking? Look forward to seeing your tank grow!

i thought that that was the case. thanks for the tips. I'll keep that in mind when i go to get a ballast.

welcome! Like your rock. look forward to seeing the tank progress...that's always fun! :welcome
