How long have you had the feather dusters? In my experience, half the time they leave their tube when they get buried. They can leave whenever they are unhappy actually. At that time, they usually pick their own comfy spot and build a new tube. I would make sure your water quality is really...

As always, I'm trying to plan ahead--so I'm trying to figure out which corals I may want to keep. I thought of staying mostly within a particular family of corals to decrease the amount of conflicting chemicals in the water. I particularly like the Caryophylliidae family (frogspawn, hammer...

Gorgeous tank, an inspiration! :)

Thanks for the advice! Hmm, what's a PITA? Well, with the new live rock, and me being meticulous about rock placement. And the flow blowing all the junk that was on the rock everywhere. I thought the sponge would be good to keep debris out of back chambers, just for now. I got some...

That's encouraging news! Keep up with the good husbandry then! :)

So my chambers are filling up faster than I thought. 1. has a sponge and a little carbon, was thinking of a small piece of poly filter but still on the fence about that 2. is filled completely with LR rubble 3. has a heater and PH I actually bought an LED light with...

I was reading Igreen's Nano Fish guide, which says that in a 24g, I should be able to keep 3 to 5 fishies. Do you think a jawfish, clownfish, firefish, and gramma would be OK in my tank? Or should I cut one out?

I love when my clowns host, they do look more cheerful and active when they do. Careful though, sometimes they can over do it and make a coral irritated....tough loving!

I figured it out finally thanks! :)

So I went to one of my LFS and the guy cut me an AWESOME deal. Even after I started picking out rock out of his nano display he just setup, lol. I got 25.5# more fiji live rock (I think I got a tonga piece too), enough to create my arch I wanted and fill up chamber 2 all the way! I'm psyched...

I might be jumping ahead, but I ordered the upgrade kit for my lighting and a koralia 1 pump for circulation in the display. I'm going to try to pick up the rest of my rock for inside the display this weekend and at least a little bit of rubble for inside chamber 2. Do you think it's ok to...

Yes Tim has been a wealth of information, along with some others! LOL, I don't think it looks great yet thanks, but it will! :) The rock was live, well into being cured, didn't smell one bad thing on it. I have like 6 decent LFS in my area that I at least know of, so I get to pick and choose...

Started my tank, yay, here's a shot, it's a slow start, but a start nonetheless. I"ll try to keep the link in my signature. :) drnsee's JBJ 24G DX

Yeah, $250 later kinda soon, lol. So with that spent and tank equipment costs, I'm kinda in a tight place for the moment! I found the tank's spot and will get some pics. But setup will be a bit.

Thanks for the advice! I have the stand built and the tank on it. But I'm going to wait to set up for a bit. Car is in the shop and I have to get my priorities straight. Although that can be blurry at times, lol. Oh well, good thing I'm patient. :) I'll take a pic soon though!

Great idea! It will make finding everyone's tank pics much easier! :strip

So it's a JBJ 24 dx nano. I was ready to buy and replace the stock "rio" pump in there, after reading horror stories about electrocution, smoke, and oil spills. However, I pulled the stock pump to look at it and it says "ACCELA". ...is this a generic name for the Rio line...or is this...

Are the LED's for your macro algae? I wasn't sure if they gave off the correct spectrum for that? Thanks for the ideas, those will help me along very well.

As far as I know, a zoa will have usually have two rows of tentacles, without any around the mouth (looks like what you have there). Anenomes will have 8 or more, radiating in closer proximity from the mouth. So, I'm guessing you have polyps there my friend. :strip

My tank will be here in a couple days! :strip I want to start off right and order an upgrade kit for the lighting. Stock lighting is 2 x36 watt CF's. The kit from nanotuners.com adds another 36 watts. I have never retro fitted lighting before and will be asking one of my LFS to...
