    up up and away, temperature question

    Hello, Well with my tank's lighting upgrade (even with the better fans) I've caught my temp peaking at 83 degrees. I know 84 is certainly an extreme cut off but my real question is should I be setting my heater to perhaps 80 degrees (it's already set at 79). I'm more concerned there is now...

    Dream Nano Tank

    Hello~ Welcome! If you are looking for a brand of all-in-one nano, I'm not really sure which is "better" really... I have a JBJ, which I'm pleased with. I did have a lighting upgrade installed with better fans. Perhaps if you go to www.nanotuners.com you will find one of their tanks...

    what kinda worms is this

    Got my tank and stand!

    I'm taking a conservative approach at 2.5 ml dose (recommendation for a 10 gallon) and seeing how things react from there. My system has a light load and much of the water is displaced by my live rock madness. I don't want to dose needlessly. I'm going to have my other params tested next week...

    Newbie Please HELP!!

    It depends on what kind of lighting you have now. Corals need intense lighting. If you have the standard normal ouput (then your bulb will probably be between 18 and 25watts) over your 30 gallon, it will not be sufficient for corals. There are many lighting options for corals from power...

    Got my tank and stand!

    Thanks for the comments! :) I actually had to adjust it a little bit. My pearly appears to like to dig A LOT. I'm glad I didn't get a blue spot, I've researched they tend to be more high maintenance, lol. Although they are gorgeous! I started dosing 2 part b-ionic today and got a...

    Newbie Please HELP!!

    Hi, where in FL do you live? I live in Tampa Bay but I'd never use our beach stuff... Petco water is a good start~ I'd definitely check out whatever Geoff recommends. :)

    stock lighting JBJ 24 cube

    Wow that's impressive, as I have never had frogspawn produce THAT many heads. How long did that take? :) I DID get the upgrade, so I'm at 108w now. I just finished cleaning up the mess the installer did (dust, loose wires, & missing screws). So I didn't have the lights on for too long...
