Nice! Looks much more vast than it actually is, huh?! :) Good job~

Yes the typical brown algae had appeared. The cleaner crew has done a good job keeping it in check. All is pretty much clear...it was very quick surprisingly.

Neat! I like the coral sand on the back, that's really different! :) I'm sure it's going to be an awesome tank~

Hello! I'm already looking for another nano, lol. Of course I"m trying Craig's List, but does anybody know any other online sources I should be scoping?! :gcool

Thanks, it was a pain in the butt to do, lol. Didn't use any glue. Just the 3-point rule...rock needs to be resting on at least 3 other points total, then withstand my finger poking before I deem it locked in. I don't use glue because when I get corals, sometimes I have to move things around. :)

oh gawd, I'd chuck that piece if it was cyano, lol. It's a hard algae and has neither grown nor receded as of yet. I like it though! :)

Uh, so I brought my hood to my fav LFS to get the retro installed..."I'll have it done tomorrow morning..." Not... Better yet, he was off today! Nice! There goes your tip! Once scratch on it, and I'm going to flip. It's about two weeks since setup, wow time flies, and ammonia 0...

Nice start! That Petco NSW is great. :) Are you still planning on getting Florida rock?

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you...no pun intended. Well, I only have live rock and chaeto in just one chamber. The more the better but you obviously need to fit in some hardware. :)

Awesome tank, does look like lots of time and monies went into it! :) They use different codes here, it's [ i m g ] p i c l i n k [ / i m g ] less all the spacing.

I imagine that would be safer. Prevents a rock from tumbling into the aquarium wall and scratching it or worse breaking it. I like to change my aquascaping often, prior to adding my corals though, so I wouldn't, and don't do it. :strip

That's about 34 gallons. If you used new substrate and water, it's likely you are going through a cycle. The pump turning off probably didn't help. Can you elaborate what a water test of 7 means? If I were you, I would do a partial water change as soon as possible. Inverts are usually the...

Sorry, not familiar with this set up. However, from what I learned here you should take out the bioballs, if you are using live rock in the back chambers. ...Maybe this will give you your room you need. :)

What is the volume in your tank? And...you have corals already? Is this a new system or did you purchase an established one? I would think a pump off for a day would irritate the corals and cause them to close up but not die off... Is there any other livestock in your tank at the moment...

I'm not sure exactly when you should do your first, but I already planned to do mine weekly, so I did my first one about a week after I first setup. I changed about 20% of my water. My levels were ammonia 0 and nitrite 0 and nitrates were at 20 ppm. I added a polyfilter a day after the water...

Sorry to hear about the fish losses. :sad: My 24 dx has a maxi 1200 for the return, which flows at 295 gph, that's about 12 times my volume. Unless the fish were being thrown around, I would think 150 gph would have been appropriate for your tank, as that's about 12 times your volume. Did...

Day 10. Added my first shrimp (a cleaner), acclimated over a few hours. Looks happy! :) I removed the carbon a few days ago and wedged a piece of polyfilter underneath the sponge instead. The water looks clear and the inhabitants are lively. (ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates...

That toadstool is wicked! Is it aquacultured? Sure looks greenish! :) Nice tank!

Kewl! Must look nice...what's Fiji purple? Sorry I missed how many gallons your tank was. You must have really intense looking light over it though. Can't wait to see a pic! :) As for delivering things, my courier just sits it by the door and leaves it. I think I'm lucky, it's still...

Very nice! Did you ever find out what the coral is? Any new tank shots? :)
