if you need a completely closed lid (i.e. octopus tank), maybe you can add an air stone to your refugium or sump? Not sure what type of setup you have for your nano. Maybe you should try an O2 test before you start worrying too much!

lmao... that's... um... creative. We'll probably add a few more fish, but I'm thinking just a blenny (how can you not have one), and a tang. Otherwise I think we're good on fish and will concentrate on corals. At the moment there are: - flame angel - 2 false percs - 2 maroons, although they...

That's true, but no problems yet, so maybe we're lucky! I really love him. He's full of personality. It's weird... he never hides from me or my husband or even my 1 year old who makes lots of movements and likes to rub his hands on the glass, but hides when someone else is looking in. Think he...

Wow, your aquascaping is (was?) very creative. I love all the bridgework. I think that must be pretty difficult to do without bolts or lots of putty. We did lean a bunch of stuff against the back to partially mask the overflows, although in time I do want to make them substantially bigger. I...

I wondered the same thing myself. Good question.

Oh- and please dont judge the lighting yet! - at the time this was taken only one halide of 3 was on.

THanks for the advice - will consider it! Any other suggestions from anyone reading this are welcome and desired.

Hi Len! I see what you mean! We left some areas sort of empty or "unrounded" looking with the idea of sticking corals in those areas later. Anything you see you would move?

Hahaha... I really liked that movie, but I hate to admit it. Yes, the flame angel is 80-90% reef safe. They are generally a tad bit of a nipper, but ours has always been pretty passive and friendly, I guess maybe because he's always the last one we add in a tank because they can easily get a...

I love those pictures. I wish my guys would spawn. Do you have any pictures of them hatched, or are they in a tank situation where they are going to be someone's lunch?

My husband and I are long time nano keepers and reefs.org lurkers, but we finally set up an Oceanic 144 gallon bowfront, and have gone through all the preliminary boring stuff. We finally added some critters from our nanos and bought a little shoal of blue green chromises. We spent a lot of time...

No ideas, anyone? :( :?:

That's the best I could do. I left him upside down for 20 minutes and he was not about to come out and turn himself over.

It honestly doesn't seem to have much of a reaction to anything. Sometimes I think it's dead because it doesn't appear to move much for a few days at a time, and the foot/mantle doesn't protrude much from the shell. He is easy enough to grab, so I will try to take a better picture. Hopefully he...

What is its name? What does it eat? It doesn't seem to eat algae all that much, and it moves rrreeeaaalllyyy slowly. It very rarely goes on the glass like a "normal" algae eating snail, and it has that big spike in its shell.
