I hope you mean 9 LBS of Live Rock :O ;) I would have the PH's hang on if possible. I don't know about using magnets as the impellers themselves are magnetized. I am a firm believer in letting the cycle go for as long as you can stand it (at least a month) with minimal lighting and WC to...

Gladly. It is pretty shaggy looking. I can only look down from above. Sitting in the sun since december can really get the coralline and other algae to cover the glass :D I like it mostly for the mangroves. I tried putting hermits in, but they would climb up my silicone corners and get...

I have a 10 " x 6" x 8" that I built myself. I run it on the porch, natural sunlight, a HOB mini from redsea, and a 25W heater.... 1 small patch of zoanthids, 2 mangroves, some snails, and that's about it, I like the simplicity.

Nice. I love minibows. I just posted an updated link to photos of mine. You appear to be doing your research and are off to a good start. Here's that link

http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthr ... adid=34562 updated pictures, you can really see the growth on the blue polyped digitata over the past 4 mos! Check out the difference in the base of the orange digitata. it has encrusted at least 1.5 inches in all directions.

Ummm it's called advice, or help, learn to accept it when it isn't sugar coated, and you will go far in this life.... I can't believe that someone is still hung up over the fact that people at NR.com told him the same things you guys are telling him about the goby. I'd link to the thread, but...

http://www.nano-reef.com/featured/index.php?tank=4 I KNow I left some stuff out, and for some reason couldn't find this link last night for the life of me.... Things have changed since January though.

It appears to be a reptile tank, in which case, you will wanna reinforce the rim, and change out the sealant. It will not hold under the pressure of a tank full of water and will leak, or burst if you don't do that. That tank does rock though! Now I wanna go look for something similar. I am...

Gil, What are you doing tonight :D Saturday may work, But I'd like to go Ride my Bike. Action shots? Matt. sure..... It's a 7G minibow. I have a 70W MH w/ an osram(thanks mav) electronic ballast, 2x32 W pc, 1 actinic over the display, 1 10K over the fuge. 1 three inch fan in the custom...

LS can be had numerous places. It can be purchased on line if you ware so inclinded, but you can also simply allow your LR to "seed" your sand. - Your adding order sounds right, SW, although I prefer to put LR in first, then put sand around it, that way the rock is stable on the bottom, and...

For your corals and corallimorphs, a meatier food would better suffice. Phytoplankton by itself is rejected by most SPS corals. Many LPS corals ingest it, and any other "food web" creatures will benefit, that is to say, the corals , that eat the mysis, that eat the phyto. Good article there...

sure, need some Macro? If you are serious , PM me :: -Ryan-

Nikon, I have no ill will toward you. Your thread title was Micro barrier reef, A barrier reef is a VIOLENT ocean environment and a tunze 6000 would be more appropriate in your situation if that is what you want to acheive. You may think I was joking, but my post was absolutley serious and...

That little orange one down front , I know, I love that! Whateva' Hwara, keep that slobber away from the glass... J/K. It is merely a tank that I applied all the info I have learned from books, fellow reefers and web info to. Thanks to all who have helped, offered advice, and frags...

LOL... Anyways, who said something about nano owners being poorer... I make enough money to own a damn 240 if I wanted to handle the stress, problems and maintainence that goes with it. I started my nano before I started my 80G. The 80G is awesome but I like the nano more. I think there is...
