You can grow macroalgaes under almost any lightsource. The most popular ones are a clamp on light with one of the compact fluorescent bulbs like this one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/P ... 004+113346 . Or another popular option is a light like this one...

Thanks alot Mike, I bought myself one of these for Christmas and I am looking at different lights now. I like the double hang on filters, it beats the AquaClear 110 I was thinking about (cheaper too). I should be getting mine started in the next few weeks. Thank you for the information, Skip

Most nudis are obligate feeders, meaning that they only eat certain things and when you run out of those things they starve to death. The flip side of the coin is they may be coral/polyp eaters in which case you don't want them anyway. For the most part nudibranchs are not good aquarium...

What wattage are the lights you are using Mike? Are they the 18 watt lights that are made for the RedSea tanks? Thanks, Skip

There are a couple of options other than building a custom canopy and then installing lighting in to it. You can use a 20" fixture and have an inch hanging over each end, here is one example of a good fixture for this: http://www.hellolights.com/201xcoaqpcho.html . You could also use a...

I would think that the macro would just grow through the mesh and if the mesh were fine enough to prevent that then the mesh would restrict too much light IMO. If you wanted to do it just to make it easy to remove or to try and keep it in one place then it should work out fine as long as you...

The baby shrimp will end up as coral/fish food. Unless you can obtain the food needed by the babies they don't have a chance anyway. The hardest part of rearing things like shrimp and even some fish is getting food small enough for them to eat. Skip

The color and detail in those photos is off the charts. PLease stop before I have to go buy a new camera (j/k). Keep them coming! Skip

I say as long as there is no problem with having alot of idle members then let them be, I have seen many times where someone starts a post like "I have been lurking here for a long time trying to learn and now need to ask.......". I see no problem with someone registering and not posting, isn't...

Tink is not going to be happy when its time for the tree to come down, lol. That picture reminds me of going to a friends parents for Christmas one year and discovering a scared to death squirrel in their tree. It was not the easiest thing to try and get him out of the tree and back outside.

Has anyone ever bought from them? If so, what was your experience like? I am in the early stages of looking for a light for a Red Sea Melody tank I bought for myself for Christmas and I am kinda interested in this light: http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?Pa ... D&ProdID=4 , it comes with...

I also found out that www.petsolutions.com has the 12 Aquapods listed on their site. I don't know how much of the info on their ad would be new to you though. HTH, Skip

Your tank has filled in quite nicely, keep up the good work. Skip

I have heard nothing but good things about Premium Aquatics LR, they also sell what they call nano-rock which is pieces sized just for nano tanks. If you were to call amd tell them what size tank you want the LR for they can pick pieces that they feel would work the best to fit your tank. Here...

:welcome to Nanotank kjoz! You could contact nanocustoms directly at www.nanocustoms.com if you have any specific questions. HTH, Skip

I really like it when they add more options to the choices we already have. The main thing about the Finnex tanks I didn't like was the acrylic construction. Thanks for passing that on. Skip

I just realized what your aquascaping reminds me of, an amphitheater. I look forward to seein ghow you fill it out with corals. Skip

You could do that but I would still get a pH test kit if it were me. Depending on your LFS you may be able to get them to take care of your testing during your cycle but there is sometimes a charge for this service, you may want to check with your LFS. As a rule of thimb test kits have about a...

I thought I had bad luck! Hopefully you will recover at least some of the money. At least this gives you even more time to plan ot your dream tank. Skip
