OK, I did a little ressearch on chalice coral and I'm getting a few mixed messages. First...is Chalice a LPS or is it an SPS? From the information I got, chalice likes to be placed kinda in a lower light setting, set vertically so it can feed better. And I'm supposed to feed the "eyes"...

I know some people don't feed their coral or did it rarely. And then some people think I'm insane cause I feed at least every other day. I target feed very carefully, as not to cause unneccesary waste. I was told by my LFS that blastomussa wellsi doesn't need to be fed much at all and grows...

So I know less fish is better...I have a pearly and a purple firefish. Both are getting along great and feed out in the open together peacefully. For the pearly's sake, I need to make sure I get pretty peaceful fish. I was thinking about two (I feel bad keeping just one clown) clown fish...

I have a blastomussa, that loves to eat everything! It eats a lot... Anyway, while it is closing to eat, I noticed that the edge of tissue on the skeleton on one side looks like it is protruding out...like a lot. Swollen more like it. Just a little part,. Is this a method of reproduction or...

:bash1: So I'm winning the battle against that sprout of brown hair algae. I learned it actually likes high flow. However, I did not divert any flow as the placement of my corals would all have to move... Been doing small water changes and stopped the dosing...(calcium was 500+). I'm...

OK, so I started getting suspicious of the readings of the only thermometer in my tank. It's your basic glass with mercury and suction cup to the wall thermometer. So I got one of those standing glass/mercury thermometers to place in another spot in the tank and a coralife digital one to take...

Hello, Well with my tank's lighting upgrade (even with the better fans) I've caught my temp peaking at 83 degrees. I know 84 is certainly an extreme cut off but my real question is should I be setting my heater to perhaps 80 degrees (it's already set at 79). I'm more concerned there is now...

Hello! I'm already looking for another nano, lol. Of course I"m trying Craig's List, but does anybody know any other online sources I should be scoping?! :gcool

Uh, so I brought my hood to my fav LFS to get the retro installed..."I'll have it done tomorrow morning..." Not... Better yet, he was off today! Nice! There goes your tip! Once scratch on it, and I'm going to flip. It's about two weeks since setup, wow time flies, and ammonia 0...

As always, I'm trying to plan ahead--so I'm trying to figure out which corals I may want to keep. I thought of staying mostly within a particular family of corals to decrease the amount of conflicting chemicals in the water. I particularly like the Caryophylliidae family (frogspawn, hammer...

I was reading Igreen's Nano Fish guide, which says that in a 24g, I should be able to keep 3 to 5 fishies. Do you think a jawfish, clownfish, firefish, and gramma would be OK in my tank? Or should I cut one out?

So it's a JBJ 24 dx nano. I was ready to buy and replace the stock "rio" pump in there, after reading horror stories about electrocution, smoke, and oil spills. However, I pulled the stock pump to look at it and it says "ACCELA". ...is this a generic name for the Rio line...or is this...

My tank will be here in a couple days! :strip I want to start off right and order an upgrade kit for the lighting. Stock lighting is 2 x36 watt CF's. The kit from nanotuners.com adds another 36 watts. I have never retro fitted lighting before and will be asking one of my LFS to...

Hi, Just curious what people keep in each of the chambers they have? I heard most keep a heater and PH in chamber 3...sorry if this sounds dumb, lol, but what is PH? Like a buffering pillow?

OK, I've been reading when I set up my tank, a JBJ 24, I should "replace the bio balls in chamber two with live rock". So...do I just fill up the chamber up all the way, half way, a little bit?...with live rock...or is it small pieces? Exactly what am I trying to do or create here, lol?

I've heard that you should keep less than an inch of sand/substrate in a nano. What is your opinion on this? In the future, I may want a yellow head jawfish and I'm not sure one inch would suffice....... Moreover, I don't want to compromise my whole set-up on the account of wanting a...

Perhaps I should ask this question first, before hunting down retro kits?! Will the stock lighting on a JBJ 24 cube (2 x 32 watt CF's ... tank is about 19.7" high) be sufficent for some LPS like Euphyllia, such as frogspawn? Or should I strictly stick with soft corals until I add another 32...

Hi, I'm planning on getting a JBJ 24 gallon nano (18"x19.6"x19.7"). It has 2x36 watt CF lights in it. I'm planning on retro fitting another 36 watt CF light in it to bring it to 108 watts of lighting. This setup does not come with a chiller. Does anybody know or have a similar setup to...
