Incysor, Thanks for showing me the pic, your setup looks so immaculate. I'm impressed on how clean and well ventilated the canopy is. I'll have to find a way to get my fans to blow in and out the air. Mike

B, My brother Dragon79, picked up two of them one for his nanoangels 12 gallon cube and one for his 6 gallon cube. He was juiced when he got it home and saw it perform on his surface. Said that the water was crystal clear from surface scum. He paid only 12.99 each.... I told him to...

Congrats go out to our Guru Incysor,,,,, Mike

B, Thanks for the heads up on dosing. I wasn't going to purchase a calcium reactor anytime yet. In fact, I've been dosing manually since I placed my corals and critters. Remember, I won several prize additives here on nanotank, and I'm finally taking advantage of them, Reef Calcium...

Thanks for your scenerio, going into a larger tank I had a lot of reservations. So borrowing from everyones big reefs gave me a lot of input on the do's and don'ts. I hope to add a calcium reactor and a phosphate reactor and maybe another MH in the middle. Then just add corals unitl it's...

After much pondering, about what type of moonlight to get, I went with the coralife one watt moonlight. It was between the R-2 solutions moonlight and the coralife. Because I wanted to penetrate deeper into the tank I went with the coralife. Also it benefits me because it can be slide into...

How young or mature is your tank? Mike

Hi Phischy, Regarding the salt creep, it's my first day with the light. After I run it for a full two weeks, I will check to see how much salt creep up I get. I don't like evaporation and when I got the chance to get the glass lids I jumped on that idea. I new the chiller would...

The 12 gallon cube Icysor recommended is cheaper than the 24 gallon you speak of. And on top of that, it's more consistant in not failing you, whereas the 24 will be a gamble. Mike

Dave, My temps got so bad that I couldn't run my pico for more than 5 hours straight without hitting 87 degrees and then sum. The evaporation wasn't that bad but the temps made me shut down my pico in the route that I went with my 72 bowfront. They do sell a nice coralife fixture that...

Thanks guys, With time I hope to add many nice corals, I will be mixing LPS and SPS. I'm just happy my stock corals are okay. They have taken a beaten ever since I sold the cubes, they have been in a holding tank for 1 month exactly. I hope the healing process begins with this new tank...

Well, My lights arrived today and since last night I moved in all my corals and critters, it was just a matter of plug and watch. I took several pictures of my tank just after running the lights 30 minutes. I'm really impressed with the lights. I really thought I would require...

Looks like a button polyp or a baby yuma. Mike

Those are gorgeous, where are they at? LFS? Friends? Mike

Chemi-pure, Comes in a filter nylon bag and you simply wash it through water before entering it into your tank. Walk away and it does the rest. You don't need to change it anywhere from one full month to 6 months, depending on the bioload of your tank. When I ran it in my cubes it kept...

Nadia, Now that sounds like a plan. You will have an awesome setup, cannot wait to see you getting started. Good luck. And remember to take lots of pics. Mike

Sorry to here that B, I've been wondering why you hadn't posted in a while, your pictures have been among the best I've ever seen, very clear and detailed. I guess that's why you want another one. Hope you find it. I guess the repair is more than the camera? Mike

I've usually caught the Banded coral shrimp eating my small gobies or my sally light foot crab. They are very opportunistic little devils if given the chance. I have seen them fight with my damsel. The damsal won, taking off one of the claws. When that happens they hide and never show...

I would not recommend the sea apple if your schedule is what you stated. As you already now, they are a ticking time bomb if they die and you will risk your tank crashing and killing the apple. Stick with something that will work with your traveling.... Mike

I have owned one in the past. I had him my 12 gallon eclipse mini reef many years back. I purchased a really small one, because it seemed so neat. I remember placing him a one part of the tank against the rocks and his little yellow legs will stick to the rock and brace himself. If he...
