Wombat, how many gallons is that reef on your link?

oops... can an Admin remove this thread, i accidentally hit reload on the "your message posted" page thanks

In a 12gal system, what kind of supplements are necessary for optimum coral coral growth? I plan on keeping Xenia, bubble, button polyp, elephant ear mushroom, possibly some smaller mushrooms and leathers. This is all eventually, of course. On one hand, I have read numerous nano-aquarists who...

:idea: After the help from everyone on here and doing quite a bit of my own research, I've decided to go with a SmartLite 64w 50/50 lamp that is half actinic and half 10000K. 32w is apparently too little power to have some of the more demanding corals that I would like to have (Xenia, bubble)...

I have a 2.5" red file clam (Lima sc.) that has lost about 4 tentacles near the base, and the tentacle stubs have turned white. Is this normal behavior, or was he injured somehow (by a fish, heater etc)? If he was injured, do these species have regenerative tentacles? Clam's diet consists of...

Okay, great, thanks. I think I'm gonna retrofit my current canopy with the 32w PC... it IS a nano still and I want to keep the sleek "look" of the eclipse... but thanks for the info about that MH.. that IS cheap, for the whole fixture! The cheapest i've seen, anyway :)

I have a 12gal system, unskimmed, with flame angel, percula, and flame cardinal. have been running fine for 8 months or so with 2-3gal water changes monthly, and carbon/media filtration. I had a Dragonet but after much good advice on here about overstocking returned him to the LFS. My tests...

Hey all. I have been told by quite a few people that I would not be able to keep corals with my current lighting fixture, right now I have a 13w blu/white lamp at 10,000K. I have read also that some corals will be just fine with this type of lighting, as long as the water is not too deep. (Right...

I usually mix up 2gal at a time for my 12gal tank, do water changes every 3 weeks or so. I always let the water sit in a dark place for about a day or two, and add trace elements and CYCLE bacteria right before I add to the main tank. The reason that I let it sit though is because I use filtered...

Brine shrimp hatchery? If you had an air pump and some phytoplankton.

Okay, I got all the stuff for the hatchery. Until it.. um.. hatches, I've gotten the dragonet to eat a combination of frozen nauplii that have been thawed and vitamin enriched phytoplankton administered by an eyedropper right in front of him. Kinda the same way I feed the scallop. If he doesn't...

Okay- After doing my homework and a little bit of online shopping, I decided to set up a brine hatchery attached to the side of my tank, there's a neat one that comes with a micron filter that only allows the nauplii of a particular size to swim into your tank. I also will feed the brine...

Thanks. What about rotifers? Or are they too small?

Does anyone know where I can get live copepods to feed my Mandarin Dragonet? He is quickly destroying the existing population, and rarely will eat frozen brine or krill. I have heard that frozen mysid is a good selection as well, or live blackworms. Also, anyone know where I can order live stuff...
