Careful with nassarius snails,,, they like to breed a lot and lay eggs everywhere... Mike

Nice pictures, what camera are you using. Mike

Hey reefers, It's been a litte over one month and my SPS corals are doing great. In fact, they are showing their tiny polyps. My crocea clam has been in my tank over 6 months and still has it's vibrant blue colors. In fact, I added a new edition to the family of SPS, it's the orange...

Hey guys check this video of my tank. Chris was nice enough to host it for me on his site... Enjoy, Mike http://www.nanocustoms.com/nanocustoms_ ... rrero1.avi

Remember, the key is to go slowly and add small frags,,, nothing too big for a small tank....

I agree with dragon, stay away fromt he little ones. they move.... The big ones stay put for the most part.... Mike

Any recommendations on a chiller that would work on 12 gallon cube? JBJ is in the process of releasing one but they are staying quiet. It is suppose to role out before summer. I'm looking at the chiller by Aqua medic 150 watts of power. It's rated for up to a 20 gallon tank. Can someone...

So should I remove the snail lovers and place them in the 3.5 tru vu. Or scrape the eggs and place the eggs in the extra tank? Mike

Can someone tell me how to stop these critters from laying eggs every day all over my tank??? I scrape them off the glass everyday, and none of my fish eat them since they feel very crunchy to my finger. The only eggs I leave alone are the ones in the back underneathe the rocks. But all...

BBKid, What type of camera do you have? I like your last macro pic.... Mike

Dragon, You haven't mentioned anything on the prognosis of Nemo. I left my cell phone at home so I haven't been able to call. I'm a little anxious to know how he did in the morning. Mike

Hi Leaf, I believe the problem may be in your dosing of twice per week with your DT phytoplankton. Remember that this dosing will cause filamentous algae to kick into gear so this might lead to the phosphate you are detecting. I'm really concerned myself about phosphate because it's...

I wanted to say thanks to all my supporters who have been following my posts since I joined nanotank back in November 04. And especially thanks for those that did vote for me. This is my first time winning a prize online and it feels great. Last night I told my wife that I was going to...

Red Parrot, I think you will be okay. Check out my link where I have 115 watts of PC and not MH and I'm still attempting SPS in a 12 gallon cube. I've been doing it for 1 month with no RTN at all. So I hope this sheds some light. Mike

Johnny, Those are really gorgeous tanks. Here is a thread on my little brothers melody tank. Hope it inspires you more on ideas for your tank. Mike http://www.nanotank.com/viewtopic.php?t=610

Incysor is totally right about the process of elimination. In the reefing world it's almost like the computer world. When you start to have crashes on your operating system or something just conflicts with another piece of hardware. You must go back and think what you last added to your...

I'm interested in the christmas tree worms encrusted in a coral. Will it be okay with my 6 line wrasse. He's always hunting pods. Mike

Thanks for sharing Dragon, It's about time you post with pics..... hehehe Mike

I second dragon, I also have one in my tank and they are great little guys that watch over your rocks for bristle worms and critters in that area. Mike

Actually my wife is okay with me spending this money because I down graded my spending when I purchased the 12 gallon JBJ. Had I stayed with the CPR 6 then I'd have to spend beyond what I put in. Since the JBJ is cheaper I got a lot of credit and I will be busy selectng LPS frags soon as my...
