Another snail that is small and a good cleaner is the cerith snail, they can also clean the sandbed as well as the glass.

Other than being a bit of a challenge to find a light for you could look at a standard 5 1/2 AGA, I think the dimensions are 16"x8"x8".

A note to Eddys list, avoid cleaner wrasses, they are obligate feeders and starve when they run out of parasites to eat. I can't beleive he didn't mention gobies and clownfish as good fish for his list. You can use the Eclipse filter but you would just want to run carbon or another media in...

Here are a few examples of different tools used to measure salinity: Glass hydrometer- http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/P ... 004+113761 Swing arm hydrometer- http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/P ... 004+113761 and http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/P ... 004+113761...

Don't worry about it, I am glad you posted. I have the glass but haven't had a chance to silicone it together yet. I am going with a 12" cube made out of 3/16" glass. Keep us posted on your tanks progress and :welcome to nanotank.

You can buy reusable bags at your LFS to put the carbon in or if you use Chenipure, it comes in a bag. Some people also use old stockings (like pantyhose) to put carbon in.

They can do the same thing to grown men. :evil:

I think any of the xenias will work including the pumping type.

I have seen them go for days without opening when irritated. As long as they are not showing signs of deteriorating they should recover.

If they are holding together and just look closed I think they will eventually open. I received an order recently and all of the bags were about 49 degrees according to an infrared thermometer and almost everything made it. I lost a small porcelin crab and a couple of snails, those could also...

You would either have to use an overflow in the sump or drill the top of it to drain back to the display tank. You would also have to run the display tanks water level low enough to hold all of the water coming from the sump in the event of a power failure. The other thing I don't like about...

Here is a link for the refugium: http://www.nanotank.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1307 . I think both models may have the LED moonlights. The '06 model should have a label on the back of the hood with a serial number and manufacture date on it.

If $$$ is a factor you may also want to watch the paper for used set-ups but shop around first to get an idea of what a good deal is so you don't get ripped off. Feel free to post if you want our opinion on a deal.

I would go with either a Nanocube or a 10 gallon with a Coralife 96 watt powerquad PC. You could go smaller but I would get one of the above to start off. As you look around on the site you cann see many examples of different tanks, decide which best suits you and go from there. :welcome to...

And they are not problems, more like challenges to overcome when thing start happening. I don't think the light will be too much for your tank if you acclimate it to the new light.

Ammonia 0 NO2 0 NO3 >20 (>10 IS YOUR GOAL) Calcium 350-400 salinity 1.024-1.026 for corals pH 8.1-8.3 before lights out, it drops when lights are off. CO2 ? Hardness I can't recall the target numbers

I have heard that arrow crabs are not reef safe and go after coral polyps, I have no direct experience bit I have avoided them for this reason.

Xenia would probably do well too. Any filter feeder like featherdusters and NON-photosynthetic gorgonians. It would also be a good idea to target feed the polyps and zoas to keep them thriving.

Your tank is really looking good, keep up the good work.

Sorry to hear about your light problem, hopefully it will be resolved soon. What kind of light is that you are currently using?
