yeah the lighting is metal halide, 150w or something. so lighting isnt going to be a problem. thanks for the info about the skimmer. i do water changes every saturday so water quality isnt too much of a problem... i know i could get a nicer normal looking tank for less, but theres...

the size 14 biocube is actually around ten gallons with the rock/sand in place. the numbers dont represent gallons for some weird reason... but the mods are really run and easy. i would just get some submersible LEDs (3-4 watts) and plunk em down in the middle or third chamber w/ some...

ok then its settled, im going for the jbj. ill probably order it around december ill post pics once it gets here :DDD

thanks, youre not late :) i would build my own tank, but i really have no idea/experience in this// so i can see how it would ever work out if i tried to build a custom setup. i think im going to go with the jbj, it will be more aestetic than me building/customizing a setup.. the...

lol a tie? i think im going to go with the jbj with metal halide lighting. nanotuners has what looks like a good one... any other small all in one systems you guys have to share

Which setup do you guys think i should go with? 1) the new JBJ nanocube HQI 29gallon http://www.nanotuners.com/product_info.php?cPath=68&products_id=435&osCsid=12b4d6c55ff85dda4b1c3bb42575c04a 2) or the red sea max? im looking to get a decent setup as an upgrade from my biocube 14...

yeah! you can do it! im 19, you just have to believe man ;-) lets see some pics

awesome, zoos are my new favorite :razz:

Heres some pics of my biocube 14, thats been up and running for about three months, ive got: 1x true perc 1x blue damsel thing (giving to a friend) 1x finger leather coral 1x torch coral (its growing a new head, i dunno if you can see in the pics) 3x lazy hermits 4x even lazier snails...

i would avoid using any chemicals in general. the ideal parameters are all zero nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia.. itll balance out after around a month or so..

dont they have some kind of powder on them to keep from cracking/getting hard? in freshwater people use those gloves that come with hair dye... the super thin ones that are like sandwich bags for your hands... :roll:

ive been looking around for a bakpak type sump that is compatible with the oceanic biocube 14... i simple dont have the room for anything much larger, and i like the idea of going topless, with a hang on sump with viper lighting system... does this sound like a decent setup to you guys...

this guy mustve snuck in with my LR... at first i was on a quest to capture him, but hes left my coral alone and seems to be eating hair algae.. sorry about the bad pics. they were taken with my phone, as i walked past the tank as was like "what the...?" hes brownish/redish in color...

i have this coral as well, i cant remember exactly... soft Sinularia species? i think that sounds right.. :pom

yeah its totally opened up now, and looks much brighter... thanks. and ill make sure no one drops it for the rest of its days :lol:

:pom wow thats alot of stuff, if you were going to get all that stuff, id go with a bigger tank for sure. in a ten gallon, you could keep maybe ONE of the fish you picked, and a clean up crew. im having trouble myself with a 14 gallon and two fish, plus a cleanup crew unless you...

you said you were using a mini chiller? hows that been working out for you? ive been looking into them, but im having trouble deciding. your tank looks amazing by the way

hey guys, my tanks been running a little over a month now. nitrites=0 ammonia=0, nitrates=little to none, (my tests are acting weird, ive used three different types and got 0, 4, and 9ish) the tank is established, though ive added some more small uninhabited live rocks for decor...

i just eyeball it and add up to the fill level, youll find a level of water in your tank that youre comfortable with, IE: no splashing, spilling, yet enough to run your filters/skimmers ect... unless you splurged and bought a refractometer, then the hydrometer youre probably using is...
