I feel like I am pretty decent at glass drilling and selecting my bit, only because it occurs often at my job, but I appreciate your input, the tankni had the plan for is currently empty, it's your basic 29 gallon cube you'd find at petco, nothing too special, the label on the "bottom" section...

So how would I go about drilling the glass, once I had the right diamond bit hole saw that I'm assuming is used, is this done a lot by anyone at home? I feel like it could damage the integrity of the tank glass as far as holding weight, my plan was to do this on tanks up to about 60 gallons...

What if spot feed weekly? Little morsels to hold him over aside from glass build up?

Ok cool, thank you for the replies

I figured so, didn't have big plans on adding anything small, are there any corals aside from zaos and tiny things that I should keep out? I had a small clown and he began hosting the anemone well, but a week after he started he died and disappeared, obviously the anemone ate him, I'm wondering...

Welcome to aquarium advice

All the critters I listed are in the new nano, I have a lot of like to introduce to the small tank but I know I'm limited severely, im in love with the bubble tip and he is basically alone in the tank, I do not want it to get eaten or bothered even, is the starfish a bad idea for my nano?

I've read that chocolate chip star fish are bad for the reefs and coral, I haven't had any issues ever with him bugging anything other than my zao's, anyways Would it be alright to stick the star in my new nano 15 gallon cube, I say new but it's been up and running for a few months and totally...

I agree! I never thought of that, thanks for answering that for us m8

What do you mean by a good "footprint"?

I have the same issue, I know it's healthy, I just wish the other colors would stick around, purple seems to take over fast

I see :/

Thank you, is there any way I can get the bright green almost glowing algae, if that makes sense lol, thanks in advance

So I started yet another reef tank, seems to be an addiction at this point lol. The purple coralline algae is nuts in my tanks, I love the greener bioluminescent algae mixture but the purple totally takes over on my rock, I know it's probably not a bad thing, but am I giving it too much light...

I found two galaxy hydros for 100 each on Amazon "the cheaper Chinese version" I think, do you think 2 would be over kill for a 65 gallon tank that is 24 in tall, I figured I'd get two unless of course you think that is too much light for simple Cora like mushrooms and anemones, nothing too...

I see, I had another idea, a basic metal halide fixture that hangs above, and for the center brace made of plastic I could get a thin sheet of aluminum and make some sort of triangular shape to kind of shield it into the water, it's just a theory but do you think that would be alright, I saw the...

I could even use jack chain to hang that fixture above the tank also

Gotcha, so I could basically run to Home Depot/lowes and get a four bulb t5 fixture, and I guess what the important thing is are the bulbs, I was thinking one actinic and the other 3 regular, what do you think about that?

Thanks so much, I'll look at them now, what about regular high k fluorescent bulbs? Like the regular old socket you screw in and out, or possibly the 4 prong fluorescent bulbs?

So I have a 65 gallon bow front reef tank, it's been up for a little over a year now but doing good, I'm trying to find a good light source for the soft coral and others I plan to get, I read that I should use "cool color" bulbs, for blues and violets to make the coral pretty, anyway I figured I...

Hi I'm new to this app, been reefing for about 5 years, currently just have one 65 gallon bow front reef tank, I'm not very knowledgeable on lighting but have been doing research on the best type of lighting for my coral, I've read that I want a bulb around 10k-15k "cool color" I figured I could...
