Dude, Your writing skills are awesome, I felt I was reading the begining of a Stephen King horror book. Let me know when the sequel gets to the press!!!! MG

Yeah, After posting on other sites, there are a bunch of people that want the little dude. I' went from idealist to naturalist over night, go figure my soft heart...

Just today I saw my neon blue goby fighting with what appeared to be my black stripped goby but as I looked closer I saw that it was a baby sized mantis shrimp that rushed into a small hole in the live rock. About 10 seconds later it reappeared jostled with my goby again then hid in the rock...

With MH, 20K bulbs are the way to go if you want your zoo's to come out...

Sweet.....!!!!

Ah, I see, I'm not familiar with that skimmer. I own a Berlin but it's the airlift. And I also own a Deltec which is venturi based....

I think he does....

You are off to a nice start... This one is going to jam.... MG

Reefermike, It's more cost effective to get one of the Vipers that marinedepot.com sells. I think you will save with zero taxes just pay for shipping. You will not have enclosed heat issues because it's a hang over the tank and since you mentioned ditching the hood this one seems to...

Reefermike, Can you be more clear? What exactly are you experiencing and what is it your are trying to accomplish? Thanks MG

Cool that will be nice since the current has a nice hue due to it's unique bulbs....

Scratch that idea because of the heat issues. The JBJ was poorly designed in heat exchange and traps too much heat. Even with just stock lighting you can have heat issues of 86 to 87 degrees...

Cold water species cannot be mixed with there warm body cousins...

Do you have any pics of your tank without the use of the Flash... MG

Reefman, Zero loss, and you are right that is an incredible swing in about 1.5 hours, now that I think about it I might be wrong, I think it was 3 hours I didn't keep watch I just new it felt at least 1.5 hours but could've been much greater... Point is that I didn't loss anything and was...

Reefermike, Thanks for the comments on my tanks; I pride myself in my care and maintenance on my tanks. I find it really hard to get both tanks up and running since I moved. If you didn't know, I lost so much corals and fish on my move easily $500 dollars in just a blink of the eye...

So last night I decided to transfer some corals from my 6 gallon to my 72 and I shut off the powerheads in order to glue them on to the live rock. I had to shut off the chiller since it was running; normally I don't do manual override since when I service the tank the chiller is not on and I...

Update, So I noticed that I finally started growing unwanted algae on my premium rock and brown diatoms on one side of my tank. This was to be expected since my lighting period kicked in. The tank had cycled for about 3 weeks with no lights and now the lights had brought in the algae...

Erik, Thanks, With such a small volume to work with you can't flood your tank with corals, then you won't have fun in the long run... I have all the time in the world, two awesome tanks with hardly nothing in them and all the time in the world as these tanks are cycled... I will be...

Here is a sneak peak at my Tru Vu evolving to it's second stage; the addition of small frags from one of my LFS, Atlantis Aquarium... Enjoy... MG
