Sorry smarsh, I did post in your favor from my first response, but after I learned about hello lights and Dragon79 is my younger brother, I had to give him a heads up. He's right there in Anaheim. But you are right a PM would have been in order, I apologize about that. However, you...

Love how you have incorporate so much macro algae, I'm jealous..... Mike

I like it a lot. I think the branch rock give you a nice theme; different from most tanks. With time it's going to blend in to your surroundings; not to mention you will re-do your tank many times over. I'd try to conceal the heater as much as possible, but thats just me. Other than that...

Sorry, But the fire shrimp is dead. If they are not properly acclimated into your new tank and the water parameters in your tank are not stable he will die immediately. Your LFS shouldn't sell you critters for cycling tanks; never. I hope your peppermint makes it. Mike

Dragon, You can get this metal halide Brand new in the box from Hello lights. It will only be $239 like smarsh97 said, however you will not have to pay shipping. Since you are in Anaheim and Hello lights operates in Anheim, they have set up free pick up from their warehouse. All you do...

Dragon, This is a really nice product from Coralife, I've heard nothing but good things about it. A lot of them use it on 20 gallon setups. They do a modificaton of inverting the neck. Makes the halide look more uniform with the tank. There are several threads on it on nano-reef.com...

A floating piece of red macro algae..... Mike

Happy birthday Marlowe, I hope you have a nice one.... Mike

Master, I think a chiller is very important and one of the only reasons I never purchased one for both my nanos is that no one ever designed one for it. The only chiller that was ever created was the ICA unit and we all know how well that worked; kept the tank from reaching disastorous...

Looks like you have a good solution in the making to prevent carpet surfacing for you fish. For my particular tank and it's design, I am completely for glass tops, the tighter the fit the better. My glass top is almost air tight and I get superior results against evaporation. I place two...

All reefers please check out this link and make sure you click on video #4 the tank called the 67.... Tigahboy takes you to another meaning in Japanese cinema. You will be so surprised how talented he is. Great job Tigah, you are felix the wonderful tigah !!! Mike...

I read under www.comcast.net that as Rita has entered the gulf she has slowed down. I hope they are right. Mike

Lots of coastal waters off of California are contaminated. That is why when you purchase real sea water at a LFS it's bottled at the source, Catalina. In catalina the water is more enriched with the natural nutrients found in ocean water, less to contaminate since they are so far off the...

Jennie, Thanks for cutting down your lights, I'll find the thread where they talk about how corals can detect weather patterns and adjust to them accordingly. The author suggest that when you cut the lighting pattern at home they will react as if in the wild and go into defense mood; energy...

Wow, B, it's getting more serious by the hour. Your company is anticipating some concerns. I would start the evacuation as soon as you get off work. I wish I could help you catch your animals and help you pack your rocks; I know you'd help me; just our nature to help one another. Keep...

Wow, This is serious, I hope if Rita does touch land she weakens to a tropical depression or better yet vears another way out in the gulf. Most of you that are in her touch and have tanks should prepare like incysor, at least battery driven airpumps to keep the tanks with oxygen. You...

I wouldn't worry about the floating part. Floating is a good idea if you have a really deep tank, were if it fell in, you'd need to climb in to get it. With a pico, you could just reach right in and get it or use a pair of tongs to fish is out. Nice invention.... Mike

Nice tank, looks like a forest green jungle, just waiting to see the tiger pop out.... Mike

DJ, Thanks for bringing his absence to the table. I bug him on a constant basis, he's ready to name me the spokesman of this site, hehehe. I just am addicted to reefing and I cannot help myself.... Mike

I'm happy you changed the rules DJ, because it's competition that drives me to excel and I don't need to mention how good Incysor's pics are. Nuff said !!!! Mike
