    Lighting Issues

    Well, since I couldn't fit the 4X24 I went ahead and purchased the 2X24. I'm pleased with it, I now have a green birdsnest under it, but its to early to tell how it will fair. The tank is a mixed reef. I currently have xenia, various zoas, acans, frogspawn, and the birdsnest in it.

    Lighting Issues

    Ok, so I'm downsizing my 15gl to one of those 6.6 bookshelf tanks. I currently have a 150w MH over the 15gl, I figured the 150 would fry the little 6.6 if I used it, so I want to give T-5s a try. The Current Nova Extremes are now using individual reflectors, so would the 2X24w provide enough...

    Sunpod Q's

    Ok...so I'm wanting to transfer my 10gl contents over to a 15gl and upgrade my lighting from a 80watt Orbit to a 150watt Sunpod, I want the versatility to be able to try SPS or a clam with the light, but I currently have a lot of softies. Will this light fry the softies? I'm planning on...

    So what are your hobbies other than nano tanks?

    Got a lot, one that takes most of my time is Pole Vaulting for my HS track team. I also like photography, backpacking, scouting (Eagle Scout), track, hunting, LOVE fishing, and I have a Crested Gecko. Pic. of me vaulting at region this year, 13 ft.

    Jbozz (Newbie) new nanotank

    I, too am interested in your skimmer, but I have had very good success with Sapphire Aquatics Skimmers. They make models for all the Nanocubes, Biocubes, etc. I bought a NC12 model and put it in the back of a Aquaclear 110 that I have on my 10gl. Works like a charm! :)

    WTB: 20 inch light for corals

    I have the 2X40 Orbit on my 10. Im keeping softies with no problems. I have a few LPS that are doing fine but Im sure they would THRIVE with HO t5s or metal halide. But the orbit is and awesome light and I would recommend it to anyone.

    Synchiropus stellata

    fuge lighting

    Ive seen people use a flood light or a heat lamp over their fuges, and it seems to do fine. I would go with a 6500-6700k spectrum buld tho.

    What is the best fish for eliminating algae?

    Well sorry to hear that, but IMO you were way overstocked. I would just let the tank chill for a little while now before adding anything else. As previously recommended, I would add a carbon like media. I use Purigen on my 10 gal. I would also run a phospate remover. After a while if you're...

    hermits

    what kind of shrimp? sounds like the shrimp died then the hermits were just caught cleaning up. Hermits are too clumsy and slow to attack and kill a shrimp IMO. Try to stick with dwarf blue legged hermits or scarlett reef hermits, they are reef safe.
