Do the water change and test again, those nitrates are pretty high and some inverts don't like high nitrates. Start out by adding a couple of cleaners before you try anything more delicate (fish and corals) and more expensive.

These lights are mostly used for refugiums but could be used in a tank but would need actinic supplementation. The color temperature of the bulb is 6,500k, this would make it slightly yellowish but definitely within the acceptable range for corals.

Is this a bought tank or a home made design? I really like its design and like was already mentioned, its a classic!

I have an 18 watter and the legs are adjustable, they slide in a small groove on the bottom of the fixture. I can't help for sure on the ones with the LEDs like you are asking about though.

I have to agree that a watchman/pistol pair is quite an interesting pair to watch. I have a pair of hi-finned red banded gobies that will be paired with a randalls pistol shrimp when they get moved to their new home (possibly this weekend). Here is a link to the shrimp Eddy is talking about...

Dwarf seahorses are not as expensive as you think Eddy, captive bred ones may bring $10 each. You can take a look at this link and see just how cheap wild caught ones are: www.seahorseworld.com or www.floridacollector.com . They are fairly easy to keep but must be fed newly hatches brine...

I agree that they should survive but they may change color over time due to the lower lighting. Good luck and let us know how things work out.

I agree, leave it on and let in help filter out whatever it can help with.

I think I figured out what I was asking about, in the second pic where you labeled it bottom I thought it was a pic of the bottom of the canopy but it appears to be a bottom or base for the tank to sit on. I appologize for any confusion.

Too bad you lost that tank, it was a beautiful reef. I am glad you are upbeat about the new tank and wish you well with the bigtank and your new nano.

That is a neat rock, it makes me think of a ricordia rock. Please post more pics when it opens. Neat idea with the duel 2.5s, that should work out well and you could add an auto-topoff to the sump to take care of evap. issues.

I am all for an automated top-off system and I haven't heard anything bad about the ATO. I think the Aqualifter pump at the bottom of the page would be a good pump to combine with this unit because it would only pump what you need without going over due to the rate of water it pumps.

They have had electrical issues with some of them so they are not a sure thing either. Going with a standard glass aquarium is probably the safest way to go and it may be a little cheaper in the long run as well.

CHEATER!!!! j/k. I just use my Dremel tool with a diamond bit but I think I like your method better :mrgreen:

Are they rated for saltwater? Its my understanding they were designed for turtle tanks.

It looks great and will be evenbetter when its edge banded. I notice in the pic of the bottom that there is no opening for lights or anything, are you going to do something different there?

I say these are best left for those with VERY large tanks.

Thanks for correcting my mistake (I was going from my sometimes bad memory). Can you post a link for the light you are referring to?

I am speechless. There is no need to stop posting those pics.
