well, it's been a few weeks, he's plump, plenty of pods left and he seems happy. Even with pods remaining, I am working on a podpile at the moment and will be ordering some pods for stocking. While I don't plan on buying pods all the time, I will work on getting him to eat pellets. Even if pods...

Hi Ed! Yeah, I read sooooo much about the Mandarins...wasn't planning on buying one this soon but it was a combination good deal and a rescue. There are still pods in there and I am working on a pod pile as well as ordering pods to stock the tank with. I realize all of it's needs and I'm going...

more pics

So while I've been too busy to post, I've been busy with the tank.... The basics - about 15 lbs of LR and 20lbs of LS Cleanup Crew - 7 reef hermits, 3 Margarite Snails, 2 Nassirus Snails, 2 peppermint shrimp Corals - 2 baby ricordia, 1 green frogspawn, 1 white hammer, small star polyps...

haha, cool, i'm sure it will be interesting

are abalone difficult to keep in a nano?

EDDY, I wish I had thought about the space before I cemented the rocks together! lol, well, I like how it came out, I just need to make sure my clean up crew has a few tiny snails to get into those areas or find some tool to clean in there. I still plan on modifying the Hydro but losing power...

pictures...yes, i need to practice with taking aquarium pics hehe

lol, my camera battery is dead so hopefully I'll get it charged for pics tonight. I actually did have a backup power supply on the pump but keep in mind, they only last a few hours so when the power goes out for days like it did for me, it wasn't all that much help. (and it makes the most...

So much of my area lost power on saturday and it was only restored late last night. Apparently the 80 year old transformers all over california are dying and leaving many people without power. All the AC and electrical usage is just too much for such outdated equipment...very unfortunate and...

Pictures pictures!! Those are mean lil devils!!! I'm sure they'd be cool to keep as a pet in tank like that. I just recently found out from my girl that they are the tasty sushi known as shako ebi. My girl is also threatening to eat my peppermint shrimp if they attack my hermits again. I'm...

Thats why I only got 2 of them =P If you still have them available, I'll take them off your hands. Believe me...my tank needs it. All my LR is furry brown rock at the moment....I was planning on cutting back the lighting until...well, read below and you'll see I didn't get much say in the...

the show begins... Did the water change, brought the nitrates down and I added 2 reef hermits, 2 nasserus snails, and 2 peppermint shrimp last night.... right before I went to sleep I saw a hermit ditch it's shell and go after one of the snails (the LFS didn't have extra shells so I'm...

I've decided I need at least one more sizable (not super big or anything but not tiny) piece of LR for the tank but now that my tank is almost cycled I want to know what I need to worry about when adding additional LR. Will it increase my nitrates again or start another cycle? Right now I have...

thanks for the quick response! Peppermint shrimp goes on the menu....err list hehe

I know there are hundreds of aiptasia related threads but these things seem to vary in shape/color soo much....just want to be sure before I plan it's death :langle I know the pic isn't great....but what do you think?

EDDY, I'm definatly using the same pieces. They fit together real tight but the whole setup keeps coming off the outlet. I'll post pics tomorrow. On the mandarins, don't think I'm going at it too soon or blindly. I've read every thread and website dedicated to them that I could find. I...

I think this is kind of a bottleneck that reduces flow but increases pressure which causes the splashing. While breaking the surface appears to be beneficial, the splashing on the splashguard is no good. In one of the links ED posted, a guy used the stock outlet tube and glued it to the hydor...

that's where i bought my cube but I wouldn't buy anything living from there.... huge thread on it here: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.p ... opic=92308

Looks like I spoke too soon ED. It came off again!!! wahhhh :sad: but the all handy zip tie came to the rescue. I had some nano sized zip ties and just tightened that sucker down pretty good. I'll check out the links you send me and see about the splashing. Once again ED, thanks for the help!
