I like your LR, very interesting shapes. Your off to a good start, I look forward to your continued progress.

You can get rid of them by dosing the tank with panacur, you can find instructions on dosing at www.seahorse.org. You will need to get the panacur powder or crystals and not the tablets.

Take her diving too and maybe the bug will bite her so she will also want a tank.

How deep is this hex? This is where hex tanks can be hard to adapt to reefs, they are not very wide but can be deep making lighting all but impossible unless you want a MH pendant. Give us the dimensions of your tank and we can give you a better answer. :welcome to nanotank!

:welcome to nanotank I personally like the Oceanic 30 cube, I think it is one of the "perfect" tanks for a small reef. What kind of recommendation are you looking for? The tank? What to put in it?

Itried it once and it seemed like the biggest thing it did was make my skimmer go nuts, all it would do is pump out clear water like it was a pump and the collection cup was its discharge. IMO if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.

If you still have excess 03 problems you may also have to make a carbon chamber to go on top of your skimmer collection cup, this is another place that 03 can escape. Some manufacturers like Red Sea make an extension for carbon for their cups. This may not be a problem just some additional info.

Either way, nerite or margarita, they are good cleaners. There are some netrites that are intertidal and like to climb out of the water, these are not harmful to the tank but can be a pain because they occasionally go carpet surfing.

Do you have access to the Nano edition of Coral Magazine? They have several examples of picos in almost coffee mug sized tanks in it. Very interesting edition with lots of good information.

Looks good and I can't believe the sun coral.

Looks very nice. How long has it been set up?

Have a great birthday Eddy!!!! :partyt :beer2: :bounc: :pgirl: :party: :hbd: :group :band :birthday: :bestwishes:

Before setting your heart on all of these butterflies check out their diets and how hardy they are. I know copperbands can be hard to get to eat and are not the hardiest fish. There are also other butterflies that only like to eat coral polyps so feeding them may not be all that easy. I don't...

I hope your birthday was the best ever!

It is available anytime, we just need to set a time and date along with a topic and then get others to show up. I think a weekend chat would be best that way we don't have the time difference making things difficult.

Aquascaping is a personal preference. I have a couple of pointers that may be useful though. Stay away from the sides of the tank and the front, this will make it easier to clean witha magnet cleaner. Try to make several caves and ledges, the ledges serve as a place to place corals and the...

So far so good. Try to get the pH up to 8.2-8.3 and work on keeping a steady salinity. You may need to top-off more often (daily) to keep up with the salinity fluctuations.

Add the cleaners like Jesse said and keep an eye on your water parameters for a week or so before adding anything else. Every time you add something give the tank a week or so to restabilize itself before the next addition.

I agree with aromanos choices but you could also add leather corals and xenia to the list.

As far as I know its hand pick, I haven't heard of anything that takes care of them and I checked with a friend that owns a LFS and he syas everything that he has tried failed with the exception of manual removal.
