The info I've read on nano's indicates that the frequent water changes of 20% or mor provide the essential trace nutrients for all creatures in the tank. BUT - shouldn't we be adding a calcium supplement?

Day 21 - All water parameters look good. I add my First Coral and two fish. But first a moment of silence for one of my Red Leg crabs - I discovered it this morning dismembered on the rocks. I was planning on my first coral being a Starburst Polyp green. I had numerous...

I remember reading (a while ago) that you shouldn't set your rock on top of the live sand because something bad will happen where they contact. Does anyone have an answer for this? Specifically I purchased my first coral today Green Button Polyp and the perfect place would be low in the...

I saw the scissortailgoby (see link) and sure would like to have one. http://reefcorner.com/SpecimenSheets/sc ... ilgoby.htm Different web sites give different descriptions as to their demeanor and habits. Does/has anyone keep them? 24Gal seems like it might be OK?

I'm thinking of the following combo of fish for my 24Nano: Blue Assessor (1) True Percula Clown (1) I believe there is abundant info on the Clown - but I haven't seen anything on the Assessor. It appears to be a great Blue color, very docile, and will not out grow the nano. Any...

Well my tank has been up a week and a day now. Water temp has stabilized at 78 overnight to 82 at the end of 12hr light shift. Noticed several patches of coralline algae three days ago. They don't appear to have enlarged, but they haven't died off either. Some of the rock is turning...

I added my thermometer and heater today and noticed that the additional activity in the water caused it to become very cloudy very quickly. Just like it was when I set it up three days ago. I also noticed a thin dust like coating on the live rock. It appears to be a very fine residue from...
