:welcome to nanotank.com! I would suggest testing it every couple of days. You are going to want to test for nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia. Jesse

I don't suggest anything that claims to speed up your cycle or introduce bacteria. There will be more than enough bacteria and decaying matter on you live rock to do the job. Jesse

Exactly. So if you do decide to zap them you will still want to remove as many of them as possible to avoid an excess amount of toxins being released and then I believe the tell you to run a bunch of carbon after treatment. I dont remember the exact instructions though. Jesse

The astralux? They havent done it yet but I havent been able to get in touch with the guy since he posted it on like Aug 2nd. Do you want one? LOL... hardly! You just have to figure out your camera. If your camera has a manual WB control, you just have to get something white like the lid...

Dont base your selection off of what sites like that suggest. That sounds good to me. If anything, I would say try 4 hermits instead of 6. I am I bit biased though as I dont really like CUC's. I only have the bristleworms, stomatellas, etc that hitchhiked their way in. I have found...

My advice would be if they arent bothering anything, let them be. I may or may not have them ;-) They dont bother my corals so I dont do anything about them. If you wanted to do something about them, I would suggest getting some rigid airline tubing and siphoning out as many as you can. Do...

Sunflower stars! They are awesome. They have an exhibit at the Aquarium of the Pacific with a bunch of those. Jesse

Oops yeah I forgot about the fish. The 70 watt retro is definitely doable. I love the look of MH personally. Both of the acans I have just glow like crazy under the blue LED's... capturing it on a camera is the tough part Jesse

True.. I forgot about remote DSB's. That is an option. Jesse

I cant imagine setting up a DSB in a 6g tank, especially in the rear chambers. A DSB is usually 6" or more deep and that just isn't possible in a 6g tank. Even if you did it somehow, the small size of the DSB wouldn't even be beneficial. They are more suited for larger tanks with larger...

Haha yeah I love the MH... the 16.5" sunpods are awesome if you can get your hands on one. Eddy came by and checked out my tank today. He let me borrow his Nikon D70 with Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 lense. These things are tricky to figure out but I did manage a couple decent shots. Here is one I...

:welcome monkfish! This will be a sweet little tank. How many other tanks are you currently running? Did your 39L ever materialize? How's the 20L? Jesse

Yeah some salt mixes mix up at a high pH. Most will settle though after they have been mixed and aerated like Tim mentioned. Also like Tim mentioned try to open the lid if there is one and open a window near the tank. That will naturally lower the pH. Is she adding anything else to the tank...

Here is another update shot of one of my acans... man I love these things! Here is one for Eddy... my nuclear greens are coming back and looking good. Jesse

I suggest uploading your photos to a site such as photobucket.com and then all you have to do is copy and past the [img] address. Hope that helps. Jesse

Your tank looks sweet! Nice shots too. I like the rockwork. Keep us updated. Jesse

Its kinda hard to tell. It looks like a polyp of some sort. Possibly a majano anemone?? Jesse

:welcome to nanotank.com! I would suggest either size... that is sort of up to you. If you cant spend the money on halides, then I would personally suggest a 12g. In my opinion a 24g would do better with a 150 watt or higher metal halide. Power compacts just would cut it IMO. A 12g...

Hmm... I'm not sure. Sorry. I can say though that you can buy at 4-pack of the 23 watters for $1.99 at Walgreens and Frys. Not sure if it is worth the work just to find out that the ballast is bad. Jesse
