Thanks for the info, guys! Hwarang- what a great avatar!! Uhm, my digital camera sucks, but I'll try later and post the pic here. Very well could be gunk in my water- I have been getting progressively lazy, and instead of my weekly water change, I've been changing every two weeks and maybe...

My tank has been going since November '03, and seems to be running ok. The tank is stocked with a 3 spot damsel, 4 blue legged hermit crabs, and some mushroom coral. What started out as 1 visible tube worm now has spread to 10's (if not a 100 or more) of these things.. Is "tube worm" the...

Hmm.. I wonder if adding an airstone that would send bubbles up and around the bioballs would make this more of a wet/dry filter? I was told at my LFS (who sold me my nanocube, and they are running one as well on their counter) that JBJ is working on an improved version of the nanocube that...

As soon as I can find one, I plan to buy a Lee's Protein skimmer.. I think it will fit in one of the back sections without any modification.. I'll keep you guys posted.. Jason

No problem.. We all gotta start somewhere. I started around 1990, before liverock was used heavily (as far as I know), and I had a 29 gallon tank with an undergravel filterplate/powerhead, and two aquaclear 200s! My motto in those days was "filter the living crap outta your tank" I used...

Thanks for the excellent info guys! I double checked at the LFS today: When they weren't looking I opened the lid and peeked into their filter area.. They are running the tank completely stock. They also had a good bit of Tonga branch rock in the main tank, and about an inch or so of live...

Do you have a picture of this? Or a diagram you can post? Also, I read about other folks talking about the "spraybar" that came with their tank? I'm not positive, but I don't think I got one with mine. When I test filled my tank, I filled up just a few inches of water in the main tank to see...

I just bought a JBJ Nano Cube, and I am very excited to get this thing up and running. I purchased the cube after seeing it in operation at my LFS. The place where I bought it claimed the setup was completely stock. While reading up on the forums and newsgroups to see what other people are...

Well, first things first: How long has your tank been? Has it already cycled? Do you test the water frequently to check ammonia levels, nitrate/nitrite? Do you do water changes? The uneaten food and droppings will decompose, and if your tank has not cycled yet (it's new), you'll be seeing a...
