Maybe DJ can make sticky of the pic for future reference, they are real hard to spot unless you know what to look for. In fact a nuisance sticky would be a great addition with pics of aiptasias, non reefsafe crabs, majanos, etc.

I also have problems occasionally. I come back later and the pics are there. I wish I could give you a reason but I have learned to wait until a little later and come back to those psts to see the pics.

Mike could you post a couple of pics, I can't get the video feeds to work for me. I guess its time for me to make the transition to XP, you guys keep posting stuff that 98 just can't handle.

Any updates? I have been following this project pretty close.

What kind of light did you get? Is Mr Fugu still getting better? Post some pics with the new lighting.

I hear you there. If I spent as much time on one board as I do on the ones I spend time on I would be past Incysor with the number of posts (I think I have over 2500 posts on RC and I haven't been going there for about a year due to the way they have changed). I need to figure a way to make my...

Congratulations, now if we could just figure a way out to get paid...........

You have any pics Erik? I have been thinking of adding one to one of my nanos.

My vote is also for the Coralife fixture, they also make a smaller fixture to fit a 10 (either 32 or 36 watt) but I would go with the higher wattage light otherwise you'll probably end up having to upgrade later.

A diatom bloom is a normal part in a new tank. Follow Sadies advice and it should go away soon.

If you are in the process of cycling your tank then you want the lights off for sure because of the higher available nutrients in the water that nuicance algae feed on, adding light to the mix allows the algae to take off.

I have to agree,buy as much lighting as you can now so you don't have to upgrade later. What are the dimensions of the 15 you are talking about (is it a 15 high or regular)? One is 20" long and the other is 24", this will have an efect on the light fixture you can use. BTW :welcome to...

I didn't even notice that I started a trend :oops: . HTH= hope this helps or hope that helped depending on which works best.

You may want to post a pic over on www.wetwebmedia.com , I think either Anthony Calfo or Bob Fenner should be able to either answer the question or find someone that can for you.

Here is a link to one surface skimmer, it attatches onto your filters intake tube: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... &N=0&Nty=1 .

Thanks for the reply. That is kinda the way I am leaning. I am thinking about buying the acrylic in 12"x12" squares to eliminate alot of cutting. I have some smaller stuff I can use to make the top out of.

I also agree that it is an aiptasia and you need to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Your sand will become live with time as bacteria and micro flora/fauna establish themselves on your sand. For cleaners try a couple of nassarious snails for the sandbed and a couple of margarita, cerith, trochus, astrea, etc. snails for the glass and LR. A couple of small hermits can also be...

I am so glad that things are working out well for little Fugu. It was also a very good idea that you pointed out that this is not the way to set a tank up but that it was an emergency and you did all you could to keep things as stable as possible during the transition.

Your tank is looking good. Were you working on the tank when the pics were taken? If not I would raise the water level nearer the top, if your powerhead keeps pumping water from above the surface it will end up making alot of air bubble probelms. What is the wattage on the lights? I would...
