This thread has a few good ideas for mods. most people remove the rings and the sponge. Some put LR rubble in the back chambers but I've heard this isn't the best practice from some. Also if your tank has lower intakes for the back chambers it would be a good idea to block those off and just...

Jess...... Lets see some new pics. I want to see how things are growing out. Does it look like Eddies tank yet?

Where'd you get your LR from? How long was it out of water? You mentioned the bad smell in your last posting. That right there makes me think either you bought some bad rock or it was out of water too long. the only time I have bad smells coming from my tank are with skimate and algae. Can...

this is indeed a confusing hobby to get into. try to do as much research as you can and not get too offended when people jump down your throat because you did something wrong in their opinion. it happened to most of us. Read this link and click on all the extra links that it takes you to and...

So funny I was going to say the same thing. I lost mine at some point. I'll have to pick up one or two sometime soon. Sexy shrimp are awesome small and like to be kept together.

my CUC has been hiding lately.... strange. I'm also still trying to get use to my new camera. hopefully I'll be able to get something.

Since age is required and there doesn't seem to be an option for not showing it...... why don't you just change it so that it's not entirely accurate? :???:

Here is a link to a natural filtration article written this month in Reef Keeping online magazine. if you scroll down it does talk about the Algae Turf scrubbers. Doesn't give details about how to build one however it is interesting and might give you different ideas for maybe another type of...

I'm so stinkin bummed. My wife just lost our camera. Jesse what are you doing sat evening? I'll make you a deal.... let me borrow your camera and I'll let you borrow my clean up crew.

yellow watchman Goby's are pretty cool little guys.

I've got the same issue with Algae and cyano. It sucks, I know. I'm running a phosban reactor but I've gotten bad at keeping up on my water changes. Cyano is doing a lot better. anyway I don't have any advice for you on that matter.... however the two clowns. I had a maroon clown and a...

It's very possible if your LR had little to no die off that you had a very short cycle. how long was your LR out of water before you put it in your tank? I'm assuming you used Live sand as well? Did you get that from a bag or from someones tank? Was the sand dry or wet?

looks like a nice little unit Jess. Kate lost our camera....... I need to get a new one. what are you using again? I'm conidering a DSLR however I need to not spend that much right now. And Kate will eventually lose that too.

Hey man how are the babies doing on that PPE :?: Is it ready to frag yet :?:

:welcome to nanotank

what size is that thing? It looks like maybe a 90? :?: :?:

you'll know by purchasing a test kit. when the ammonia and nitrites both read '0'. Can take anywhere from a week to about 2 months. Just remember to be patient. If you purchased good live rock and live sand and don't have too much die off then it shouldn't be too long. ;-) In the mean time...

definitely keep them off. It will keep your algae growth down. Nothing in the tank requires lighting yet. Once the cycle ends and you start putting life into it then flip the switch. Good luck and :welcome to Nanotank.

can you suck the rest of the pieces out with a turkey baster? That's typically how I get rid of the little things I don't want in my tank. That's a bad situation. Sorry to hear about that. :sad:

Really? That article was pretty clear. Did you read the master list? Well.... sorry I couldn't be more help.
