    Better way to do my 10% water change

    Currently I am doing a 10% (one gallon) water change once a week. I use an old one gallon milk jug and a water bottle. I first remove my glass cover, then dip the water bottle between the tank lip and my Current USA Orbit light and fill skimming the scum from the surface. Remove the water...

    Jesse, just finished scanning your thread 20l/20l fuge..... excellent looking tank, hard to believe it is only 20 gallons. I am also considering using a closed loop system with a SCWD like this http://www.melevsreef.com/closedloop.html with a 3 inch PCV vertical tube near the pump to...

    Name for this tank type

    Yes Jesse a 40 gallon breeder is one the first small size AGA aquarium to break the 12 inch depth mark. I am hoping to reuse my 20" Current USA orbit light fixture, the 40 gallon 35" wide breeder would break the lighting budget. :cry:

    Name for this tank type

    I would like to do some background work before I reinvent a square wheel :cry: . Most of the posts/pics I've found so far divide one side of the tank, however I would like to divide the back. I seem to stumble on some here and there but don't know if there is a defined name for this type of...

    Name for this tank type

    I am looking at up grading to a slightly larger, cleaner looking tank. I like the JBJ style of tank with the false back with overflow that flows into several chambers (fuge), then back into the main tank. Does this type of tank have a common name? Any links to users tank pics...

    peppermint shrimp

    It took a week for my new Peppermint to roam the tank. During the first week he was mostly active at night, must have gotten hungry enough to become social?

    New to nano, 10 gallon setup?

    If you are going with a Current USA Orbit fixture (2x40), I just purchased one from PetMountain.com. Had them do a price match with another site, they beat the price, and them lowered the price of all their Orbit fixtures on the site. Shipping is also free on orders over $99... very sweet...

    Thanks Jesse, love the moving pix. Too bad Dave had to leave his own show. BTW Pet Mountain didn't have the DT brand so I went with Kent. Thanks for the info.

    Hello Nanotankers, New to nano reefs

    Hello Nanotankers, New to nano reefs

    Cool So I would assume that all the 'stock' Aquaclear stuff has been removed from the right chamber. Did you need to make anyother mods to the filter? At 500 gals per hour, how do you keep the smaller stuff from flowing out of the chamber? I have a used Skilter 400 (protien skimmer...

    Hello Nanotankers, New to nano reefs

    Thanks Karen I've heard many good things about Foster & Smith. I guess we are lucky to have then relatively close. Ebay offers some interesting LR's but the shipping is rather pricey and the laws of supply and demand seem to be working against me right now. It would be nice to see...

    Hello Nanotankers, New to nano reefs

    Erik you mentioned that you have a 96w coralife fixture fixture, is this something that you are not using and would consider selling? Was the 96 watt enough for a 10 gal? I am looking into either a 36 watt DIY kit from ahsupply.com with the fancy reflector or a 40-60 watt premade alum. one...

    WI reefers

    Wow, I would have to consider that up-north. I am located outside of Neenah, west of the northern side of lake Winnebago. Can you recomend a source for live rock in Wis. (near Green Bay or the Fox Cities) or is it better to overnight from an online source. thanks

    Hello Nanotankers, New to nano reefs

    Thanks Erik, I'll spend some time reviewing those links. Saddly, your tank pixs were not available. Both the webpixs and photobucket pics were no longer valid. thanks
