    Lighting Emergency

    The tank is doing fantastic. I'm a little concerned about the temp during the summer. If I can get some extra $$ together I'm going to get another 2x54 T5 and some fans to blow through my hood. It gets pretty warm up there and the tank has been getting up around 83-84 by the end of the day...

    Plans for my tank

    Sexy Shrimp are pretty fun too. They're anemone shrimp and will find a home in an aneomone or anything that they can make theirs. Mine has made my xenia it's home. I've read that they do better in groups of 2 or 3 and are perfect in Nanos. I've been told by many to not even consider getting...

    Lighting Emergency

    And God said let there be light...... And there was. Got a new ballast for free. Very happy about that. I think sometime soon I'm going to get another one 48" T5 fixture so I can run 4 bulbs. Instead of MH. My tank is starting to run a lot warmer and I don't want to make it worse with MH...

    Lighting Emergency

    Kathryn was there. They have an extra ballast at their house from a unit they were going to use and then didn't. She's going to bring it in for me because I can't really wait a week for the new Unit from TEK. I might not be able to get it until tomorrow. Mean while I've been using my 28...

    Lighting Emergency

    Yeah I was curious how it kept working for two days as well. The power strip was all warped and melted. I'm so thankful that it didn't burn the house down. I have structural insurance but not personal property coverage yet so I would have been SOL. Not to mention It's a Condo and could have...

    I didn't have that virtue. It would be a lot easier though if I knew I was getting a tank in advance. Welcome to the wild world of Nanotank. It's a fun place to be. Do you Race or watch MX? Know anyone looking for a 2001 CR250? Daddy need s a new light fixture.

    Lighting Emergency

    I talked with Ben. He sold me another light bulb so I could see if it was a bad bulb. He said that with some of the Tek Fixtures, if one bulb goes out it cuts off electricity to the other bulb. I got the bulb tried it in place of both bulbs nothing. Took the whole thing apart again put it...

    FOWLR sump

    That is really unfortunate. :D I don't know from experience but I believe I heard JohnandDawn say that a wet dry filter with bioballs as indicated is a bad idea. Nitrate factory. If submerged they are fine, however I could be misrepresenting what he told me. I'll try to find where he said it.

    sand and nano cube

    Most people do use sand in their Reefs. What kind of sand are you using? Check out this link. http://aquarium.union.rpi.edu/setup.html I used crushed coral in my tank and wish that I had used sand instead. Sand is basically crushed coral by the way...... Just really small peices.

    My poor new Watanabe Angel

    So.... It's been one week since I purchased this guy. The Fungi or cauliflower or what ever it was is going away finally. It's amazing how not doing anything can help so much. I don't think it was a wound after all. I had tested my water and thought that everything was fine. I started...
