    Mag Drive Pumps???

    IMO Mags are best off when used as submersible pumps, I have used them in-line for a couple of projects and have broke more than one impellar housing trying to get them sealed properly. This wouldn't be a big problem in the application you describe except all of the problems I had were on the...

    What in the world is a ZOO?

    Ed, You need to make sure you keep taking your medicine and seeing your anger managment counselor. You should also ask the grown-ups at your house to hide all weapons and sharp objects. :mrgreen:

    Mandarins

    If you mean a clown goby then there is no problem at all, with a watchman goby the biggest problem I see is that they will be eating the same things in the same areas and may compete with each other which to me maqy be a concern with a fish that is hard enough to keep well fed. Just my .02.

    good online live rock store?

    I haven't personally bought LR from them but I have heard alot of good things about www.premiumaquatics.com LR, it has also been mentioned that if you tell them about the tank the rock is going into they will pick pieces to fit that size tank.

    New Oceanic Biocube

    Bioballs are too efficient at processing waste and cause nitrates to rise quickly, by using your LR as your biological filter it allows other tank inhabitants a chance to dispose of waste products naturally before they are broken down into nitrates.

    New 8 gal bow nano

    :welcome to the board! I would stay away from using a canister filter because you will want to clean the sponges at least weekly and this would be a pain with a canister filter. I use a hang on style filter with my favorite being an AquaClear. You can definately go skimmerless on this tank...

    Anyone else from ???????

    I will agree that there are some awsome zoanthids on this site that some of its members have managed to get hold of. Some people just live in just the right place and have stores that can get the real good stuff in.

    LR filter/refugium/ top off res.

    The more I look at this the better I understand it and the more I like it. I have a 15 tall that I am considering modding into a sump for either a 15 long or a 10 gallon that I found a deal on a 20" Sunpod I want to set up as an SPS tank. Probably no fish or maybe 1 small goby but I will most...

    Whats the best???

    IMO its a matter of how much you are willing to spend, how much space you have, what kinds of fish and corals you want to keep. First decide on the fish and corals, if there is something you just gotta have then this may help you determine the minimum sized tank you can have. You will also...

I think that they would be available over in Europe a bit before they will be available to us over here on this side of the pond...

    Bio-Wheel

    BioWheels are a good addition for fish only tanks where you may need the additional filtration but they are indeed undesireable in a reeftank, nano or otherwise.
