- forgot about the worms, google images: sabellid or sabellidae its in that family/taxon 99% sure they are good for the tank. they live on floating plankton, and actually might be one of the primary populations affected by UV use if their small food source is stressed but these guys are so...

-- hi just chiming in bored day to beat the hair algae you have to deal with nitrate and phosphates first, lighting adjustment won't be the prime mode for reasons you mentioned. Yes some pH support suffers with reduced lighting, because intense lighting>photosynthesis sequesters carbon...

O I see, if going open topped a ten is easier. See below for some vase ideas anybody... my friend Mark has made leaping advances for the reefbowl in drilling it, which has now taken the topoff requirements out to 5 days, with no ATO, which is easily the most consistent specific gravity of any...

Wayne it sure is fun so maybe you can try one. The same lights I use for the vase, the coralife mini aqualight will work fine for starters, because as a new tank you won't have a lot of corals, it will be more for physical experimentations in heating and evaporative control. Don't let anyone...

-- sent you a pm, this vid (which gets lost among my paragraphs and pics lol) shows the detail YouTube - 1 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium and Globe Ecosystems Now the lid for that 1/2 gallon was a real beauty. I paid a glass cutter to make it out of float glass. I know they say they restrict...

-- man Im sorry you are having that continual problem, even after all your remediation attempts. This happened to me once like it did you, and all I did was drop in a submersible UV sterilizer and it never came back. UV didn't kill algae already on the rocks, but it kept it from ever...

-- I did not know about t5 heat sensitivity nor those ratios. Reading that article was great interesting thread for sure B

-- last post...when I get my new cam I'll swap out these junk pics. Also never been photographed before in a pico reef: alveopora production 10x over from the original frag. I have pics of this frag from the size of a pencil eraser. it has put on roughly 10x biomass in calcium carbonate...

-- heres a cell phone snap real quick just now. it's been about two years since last posted online a pic of this vase!! not a single one, been out of a cam. they cost too much. hoping to build a laser clear featuring of it with a new cam soon, this is the oldest pico reef in the world so...

-- tomorrow i might buy a new digital cam, been without for about three years, can't wait to post updates of the vase

-- pipe cleaner > rub tip in cyclopeeze, then hand it over. takes food through the bars with his claw then runs back to the other side for a while to hide some under a mushroom frag the size of a bean...

-- Mitchell if you did ever set one up you ought to consider the vase. Here are several reasons that's the easiest nano reef anyone could run and the shape is 99% of the balance: -the vase inner diameter neck allows a lid with the exact circumference to sit on the neck, inside the upper lip...

hi thanks for stopping in! The lid is sealed only in between servicings. it can be raised very easily to reposition frags and scrape off coralline. the point is not to have daily fluctuations... the vase reef is a constant bubbler, so the positive air vent just comes out under the lid or...

-- thats so cool someone else has a edgy camera, you are right mine cycles a new date on each shot or at least this old camera did that took the pics...it's like a little virus that hijacks the date huh but the year is right...the square one was sold for 800 dollars at a show. the vase is...
