Sorry bro but that stuff isn't fun. I've heard that foxface rabbit fish will eat it however mine doesn't so I think it's luck of the draw. My advice is to take the rock out, scrub, rinse, scrub and rinse.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... D=30085834 Amazing Robotic fish. This would probably help reduce nitrates, huh?

Totally lazy sounds so totally nice. I've totally been slacking on my tank and I'm paying the price for it. I think my substrate is finally cathcing up to me. I just can't keep it clean enough and I can't beat the cyano red slime. Also while vacumming I dropped a rock on my 1 and only...

Beautiful Jesse..... How's the tank doing? Still really happy with it I'm assuming?

So the tank is 4 days old? keep your lights off as much as possible during the cycle to reduce algae growth. Stay patient. As for upgrading the pump. I'd keep it untill you start stocking and then upgrade upon demand. while there are plenty of coral that demand a lot of flow there...

I'm very happy to say my new fish have adapted pretty well. And the old fish have accepted them. I was pretty concerned about it. Anyway I couldn't get a good FTS with both new fish displayed well so I have two so you can see both my new fish. I tried to get a good close up of them, but...

It was definitely a pod of some sort. Check out this link and you'll see a good variety of hitchickers. http://www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htm

Sounds like you've tried a lot of different options. I don't mean this in a rude way but if it's not physically possible to get the pumps any quieter then you always have ear plugs as an option. Or take it out of the bedroom. Sorry I'm not much help. ;-)

A skimmer is a nice addition how ever not entirely necessary. With weekly water changes they aren't really necessary from what I've been told. An additional powerhead is completely up to you and your tanks needs. You'll have to see how the current flow is working for you and then add if...

How Rude... :moonin ... So on this list how many names do you have so far and where is my name on it? I'm hoping that I'm pretty close to the top. :sumo

1st :welcome to nanotank. 2nd. LR. the LR is going to suffer some die off while it is out of water. between the LFS and your tank. This is probably why they are saying to put it in a bin and let that die off cycle out before putting it into your tank. I would agree if you were putting it...

No, I still have all of it. I'm pretty bummed becuase I've had to neglect my tank a little because of the business of Life. hopefully this weekend I'll be able to get back on it. I'm pretty close to winning the hair algae battle and the redslime that came up from lack of water changes for a...

Blau.... Read through this article when you get the chance. It might help with a general knowledge of slime and algae. http://www.fishdoctors.com/ArticlesDetail.asp?id=127

That is a really good start. :blob :eclap :thumbup: Go to http://reefkeeping.com/ and read their Newbie corner article. They just put up a good synopsis of what your looking for this very month. you should go through and read the archived articles in that same category. It's good stuff.

That thing filled up quick man. what are your plans now? Are you going to get more LR and start putting the frags up on the Rocks or are you going to keep them in the Sand? Just curious. Your going to have some really nice color in that thing when everything starts growing. Not that you...

I'm glad to say that my blue spotted wrasse has come out of hiding a few times. He still scares pretty easily. I stayed home yesterday and he came out for a couple hours in the morning. I just hope he's able to find food when he comes out. Anytime I come close to the tank he goes back...

My frogspawn killed my xenia. Don't do it. Just a little tip of the xenia brushed against the frogspawn for a day or so and it killed the entire colony.

A lot of people are just adding the Koralia Power heads. They seam to work pretty well.

Congrats man. That's a big step. I just did that a couple of years ago. It's scary. couldn't be happier. Unless my wife was into the reef tank as much as me. But beggers can't be choosers right?

yeah me too. I was totally bummed when I couldn't find her. I knew when I was lifting the lid she'd be there. I think she missed my male. Ever since he died she just hasn't been the same. She's the reason that blue spotted wrasse is hybernating. Before my male died she just wasn't that...
