Here is a link to the hellolights bulb: http://www.hellolights.com/co18wstpinla.html . HTH, Skip

Sadie, What light and filter are you using on the tank? If you were starting another 2 1/2 would you go with anything different equipment wise? Just curious, Skip

Here is a link that has all of the bulbs (50/50, daylight,actinic): http://nanotuners.nanocustoms.com/nanot ... f7f916b79b . You can also find the 18 watters at www.premiumaquatics.com , www.marinedepot.com , www.drsfostersmith.com , and www.hellolights.com . Some of these vendors only carry...

There are a few things that can help keep the macros from going sexual, things like a reverse daylight lighting schedule (refugium lights on when tank lights are off and vice versa), other have used a 24/7 lighting schedule for their refugium with success as well but I think the macros tend to...

Sadie hit the amounts pretty well. In the second chamber of the back you can put about 3 pounds of LR rubble to add more of a biofilter to your system. I probably wouldn't try to mod a refugium in for a fish only tank. Skip

I am not sure they have to be stressed to loose their crown, I have had one loose its crown with no provocation at all. It makes me thing that they may also have a need to grow a new crown for whatever reason. My experience it pretty much like already described, they loose the crown then a...

Is there a reason you bought a CPU cooler? Can you buy ball bearing fans by themselves? Just curious, Skip

There are quite a few nice fish for small tanks, here is a list that has quite a few good choices with the exception of the catalina goby (it needs a tank temp of around 70 degrees): http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scat ... CatId=2124 . This is not an exhaustive list by any means but it can...

:welcome to Nanotank! You need to decide first off if you want to keep corals or not. If not the a fish only with live rock (FOWLR) will be the simplest set-up. You don't really need any special lighting but I would still go with a PC set-up with a 50/50 bulb to get the best coloration from...

I like the top and the tank is really coming together. Dickie, where did you get the heater you spoke about? Do you have a link to an on-line vendor? TIA, Skip

Nice looking tank Steven. What is that on the right side under the cleaning magnet kinda in the shadows? The orange montipora looks like it recovered well from the fragging Mike had to give it. I look forward to the pics of the new hermits. Skip

Its hard to give a weight of rock needed since the density of LR varies alot. Some small rocks are very dense and heavy while you may get a large rock that is very porous and light. If I had to order the LR I would talk to someone and tell them what I wanted it for and see what they recommend...

I was just thinking about using the same stuff when I started rereading this thread. I had the idea of just making a u shaped piece that came up in the back and front of the filter, basically just bending a strip so that the fold is in the bottom of the filter. I think between that and using a...

Good job Steven. I have a good idea how to replace my fans when they bite the dust now. Thank for posting, Skip

What did the fish think of the alien invading their tank? Pretty neat little toy.

I think you will find most reefers use Instant Ocean but if you were to take a poll you would find about all of the brands available are used. I use either Instant Ocean or Oceanic. I have also used Coralife and Reef Crystals. I haven't had any problems with any of them, some people claim...

Chaetomorpha, Gracillara, or Ochtodes are the best choices because they don't go sexual and crash on you. The chaetomorpha is going to probably be the easiest to get, it is on Ebay all of the time and offered on most reefclub boards. You may also be able to get your LFS to get some in for you...

Sorry to hear about your accident Sadie, thankfully you didn't get hurt any worse than you did. Now would be a good time to lay the guilt on your family and get the reef gifts they forgot on your birthday and Christmas!! :twisted:

I too hope that everyone has a safe and happy new year. Enjoy, Skip

Neat starfish pic. Mike, when you purchase a coral do you already have a spot picked out for it in your tank or do you make a spot as you go? The reason I ask is that all of your pics look like everything has its own space that was made just for it. Your tank is looking great BTW. Skip
