Some reefers have been asking me why I went with such a small C02 container and how did I get it to inject C02 into the regulator. Since I came back to the reefing world as a nano cube owner I wanted to keep the small concept in the cabinet. I wanted to take advantage of all my precious...

Here is the second set of pics; enjoy... Mike

Well, Here are a series of pics with my calcium reactor. I had to wait for many pieces to arrive since the LFS didn't have what I wanted. Instead of a 5 lbs C02 container I went with two 20 oz containers from a company in Ohio. I also ordered the aqualifter for delivery of sump water to...

Brian, I never photographed him, he was very shy but he had purple tip claws and his body had orange and white spots towards his tail. He would move around the tank but never gave me a good picture. He was so beautiful just to look at; however I never saw him eat. My bumble bee shrimp...

Let me chime in... When my 12 gallon cycled and water parameters were perfect I went on a shrimp hunt. I wanted to purchase nano size shrimps and so I became the owner of the sexy shrimp, two anenome shrimps, bumble bee shrimp and this colorful shrimp that incysor purchased. I also...

Where is your coco worm? Mike

How big is your tank for 50 stars? Wouldn't that be way too many? Do you have a DSB? Very curious.... Mike

Okay, I'm almost understanding everything. However, I don't undertand how all these units operate without holding tanks. So without a tank, can I run one of these systems? Do I just walk over to the machine and fillup really really slowly say 5 gallons? Or is it a lot faster from the...

Smoke, Thanks for the valueable info, can you educate me some more on whether or not I require the 10 gallon tank? I was getting all this installed for about $200.00 but I insisted of a bigger tank and a UV light, that is why the price shot up to $483.00. Okay do I require the 10 gallon...

Incysor, My wife needs this water for drinking purposes too and cooking. Does yours work for those applications? Do you mix your own saltwater? What brand do you use? Why do water vending machines all have a 5 stage system plus Ultra violet light as well? Isn't it much more purer...

Hi Reefers, My wife has given the green light to have a RO/DI system installed in our condo. Installed we are looking at $483 dollars. He is my wifes ex-box that is the owner of a water store that she worked at. The brand I'm getting is amtral tank and I ordered the tank that can hold...

Damn, I cannot believe you were able to respond to practically all his list B. :shock: Just amazing.... M

B, You make me smile when you say, "My wife made me" as a married man I concur with those words. Here I go, my wife made me get rid of the tank in the bedroom, said that the moonlights in that tank were too bright. I told her that the critters need the light to go to bed, then in the...

I love the bottom two pics, good shots.... They look so clean... Fish are so hard to take... MK

Incysor is right, I took a gamble with a pygmy angel, a really small one and it was always scared hiding, then it started comming out more and more. Then as quickly as he came out he suddenly disappered, my wife found him dead at the side full of ich. I believe a new fish that I bought...

Sadielynn, Temp variation is bad; to go from 84 degrees to say 74 in just under a couple hours can wreak havoc to all inhabitants of your reef. Sadie if you acclimate slowly to say a cold swimming pool or a cold shower by lowering the temp you will avoid shock on your body right? Same...

Buurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, can we say thats one mighty cool tank...... Mike

Well, The way my rocks are placed he could be anywhere at the top of the tank. I will try the trap and see if I get him. The three crabs that you sneered up, what did they look like? Were they the notorious black clawed hairy crabs? Mike

I'm a big fan of the glass tops; as I literally experience very minimal evaporation. I have a 72 gallon tank and I'll do maybe two glasses of water every three days if that. Before I had the glass tops I was doing like 1 gallon every other day or so. Also the dust particles in the air land...

B, You've been that patient to see that little sucker go into a rock and hide? Did you have to re-aquascape everything? Is it isnt' death with the rubbing alcohol? Mike
