looks like the drawing below. i havent been able to get a good picture of it, it just looks like a rock attached entirely at the base to some live rock i have in my tank. 3 weeks after getting the rock it opened up! two parts slid out of it, one wide and shorter, i assume the intake, and the...

No that's what I meant, the "bio filter" of my current 5 lbs of live rock. I don't currently have a filter of any kind. I want a hob to supplement my 110gph pump, break up surface tension.

ive got 15 lbs of new sand, i will do that for sure. just a little you got it. if i o a add everything from my 5 into a ten though will the extra water be too much for the existing biofilter, despite changing nothing else? if only for the week?

LFS is having a sale that will end up about 45% off live rock and everything else, starting this weekend. Timing is kind of perfect, I want to move everything from my 5 gallon over to a ten gallon, and cheap good live rock is awesome. Question is, can I move everything from the 5 gallon to the...

Updates but first a question: is 1-2mm aragonite sand too big for a substrate? I'm upgrading to a 10 gallon already and bought a bag of that by mistake, not tiny sugar sized ( will be mixed with my sand already in my tank though). That too big or is it ok? Updates to come just in a hurry

Since I got my new par38 it seems to be slowly springing to life! Little "hairs" are coming off of it with little green dots at the top of them ( I think they're green), with conical tubes coming out of the middle of each "circle". Maybe the more time with the good lighting will provide a better...

you would be correct sir! the "coral" in question however happens to be the reddish brown circular thing in the lower middle of the picture. since switching from my 10w 50/50 to my 18watt par 38 trupop LED fixture though this thing has started to extend what i think are polyps and get white dots...

just got my par 38 from ledtric.com, and i love it! so do my corals! my halemida dont seem to care for it though, their color isnt nearly as green, but i got the trupop one with the violet bulbs, and my corals do POP! only problem is try to take pictures, it looks way too blue to do my tank...

hmm, works for me. can anyone else confirm?

any ideas?

Thts awesome! Yeah dimmables are great but I can adjust the amount by how close the bulb is to the tank. I think resetting the dim daily would be a huge pita...

I'm gonna pick one up from http://www.ledtric.com/ I think.

That's the dim able one right? You have to reset it every time you turn it on right?

regular they say, just like a normal lightbulb. i would upgrade to a shop grade screw in socket though just in case.

62 bucks? 68? Less than 70 I know ...

Going up to a 20x10x12 10 gallon, and trying to figure out lighting. Anyone ever try one of these? Dimmable High Power Par38 White + Blue LED Aquarium Reef Corals Grow Light Bulb, 1325w+b:Amazon:Patio, Lawn & Garden

Dimmable High Power Par38 White + Blue LED Aquarium Reef Corals Grow Light Bulb, 1325w+b:Amazon:Patio, Lawn & Garden Has anyone tried one of these? I'm looking at upgrading to a 20Lx10wx12h 10 gallon and need more light. Anyone have any experience with this?

I just found my pistol shrimp! Couldn't believe it, crazy timing. I read not to keep multiple different shrimp but I will do more research before I pull out that peppermint. The darn thing has dug a huge hole underneath the left rock in the picture. Guess he outgrew the holes in the rocks lol...

Hello all! Thought I would check in after a few weeks had passed. Added my first coral this week, a Palau Sinularia, and I love the color. So far I have one cerith still ( had one die), the emerald crab, a peppermint shrimp, a pistol shrimp somewhere in the rocks( if I ever see him again and...

nevermind, i guess this is probably a spaghetti worm.

Got these hanging off the live rock in my newly established 5 gallon nano. They seem to just float in the current, but also slide around and even seek out bits on other parts of the rocks! They even picked off a reef food pellet before it made it to the sand, but it was juggling it up and down...

Wow something else interesting coming out of the rock. You might be able to see the tendrils sliding across the rock and even trailing in the current, and attached to the rock below looking for things and picking stuff out of the rock below it! Any idea what this is? im trying to get the video...

i thought so also, but i wanted a second opinion. its a package my lfs has on their website for 5 gallons. :fish2:

this seem like too much for a 5 gallon clean up crew package? i got one emerald, 3 nass. one cerith and a pistol shrimp for fun. think i need more? 6-Astrea Snails 6-Blue Leg Hermits 8-Cerith Snails 6-Scarlet Hermits 10-Nassarius Snails 1-Emerald Crab 1-Pepermint Shrimp

Caught him! On camera of course. Chances of grabbing him with the tweezers?
