Hey Hey we're the Monkees! When I first read this post I wondered if you knew they are a group and had a TV show. I had better be quiet or my age will really start to show. :oops:

A royal gramma, firefish, look at a blennie, there are gobies that are quite different from the norm like a court jester gobie, chromis are always a nice addition (especially if you can keep a group of three or more). Have you considered inverts? Things like cleaner shrimp, sexy shrimp...

:welcome to nanotank.

:welcome to nanotank. You can indeed get by without a skimmer by performing weekly water changes to control nutrient levels, this also helps to keep all of you levels where they need to be. When you see an ammonia spike will depend on the LR you added, if it was uncured you will see a spike...

I think that Erik has a couple of pistols together but I think that they are all the same kind, maybe he will chime in here to confirm this.

Whatever you guys decide to do with that tank will be quite nice I am sure. You are doing a good job, I especially liked the fact that you used unions on your plumbing connections.

Looks like everyone is healthy and happy, keep up the good work. Are you finding that doing two smaller water changes has made a difference over just doing a single larger change? Just wondering if you have made any observations either way on this.

Sweet looking clam. I hope you have better luck with the new goby when you get him.

I haven't personally kept more than one pistol but from what I understand they get along fine.What kind of pistols are you planning on housing together?

:welcome to nanotank. I also say to leave the lights off other than to take an occasional peek (its hard enough to wait on the tank to cycle, you may as well take an occasional look at whats going on). The reason is that any die-off you have on your liverock adds fuel for algae growths, by...

First of all :welcome to nanotank. I think you have been given the ins and outs of drilled vs. non drilled. I prefer a drilled tank for reasons already mentioned. There is one reason touched on that adds alot of weight to the drilled argument though and that is by adding a sump it gives you...

Temp and pH are the two things you are trying to match. If you use the same saltmix every time then aerating the water well before use (Sadie gave a good suggestion for this) will get the pH level colse enough to a match. If you have to use buffers to maintain your pH then I would add buffer...

Ripcurrent, Which iodine are you using? Is it the Tech I? The reason I ask is that someone not familiar with their product line could mistakenly get Kents Lugols Iodine thinking that it would be easier to dose the drop a day since the bottle is fitted with an eyedropper. For those unfamiliar...

I really like it. Do you have any idea on what will go in the tank when the time comes or is that still in the planning stages?

The addition of top off water is needed to maintain the proper salinity level, water changes are what you want to avoid to keep from prolonging your cycle.

I have to agree that its a matter of preference. The moonlights are mostly for our benefit to be able to tank watch awhile longer anyway.

These pics almost make me want to start keeping miniature horses, not quite but almost. They are some of the cutest little guys and gals I have seen in awhile.
