Forgot about this... Well turns out the smaller was also a male , I've since then traded the smaller one for a female... They been great together , do everything together!! Since then I've Supplied a mass population of pods and what not... I also do a daily feeding of brine shrimp in the am...

But it won't be too bad best bet would to set the new sand on top of the old as a a top layer but it's all up to you everyone has their own opinions just what ive gone through :P

Most likely... All new bacteria in the sand as well as the loss of bacteria from the old sand

Corals can go without light for some time... In the oceans there are storms, clouds and even night time when there is no light ... I've shut my lights off for 2 days straight to help get rid of some algae and they're all fine :)

:) no problem

+1 for all Also how old are your lights?

The smaller the tank the less likely you should house fish which occupy the water column, maybe something that spends most of its time on the sand or on live rocks is a better bet +1 for the pistol shrimp/goby combo :) loads of fun to watch!

Some corals in the wild use gravity and waves to split, in the tank they may need a little help, what coral is it ?.... Im on my phone cant quite see it -__-

Yeah it works great as well as their oyster feast.. A bit pricey though, I use a new formula "Coral Vibrance" cost around 13$ and works wonders. Bought from urbanreefkeeper.com , comes in concentrated powder form so it will literally last you over 2 years if you have a 55 gal or less.

+1 ^ same with mine

Plastic bottle cut in Half with the top part inverted and taped inside the bottom half with some pellets worked for me but you will also catch other critters just takes time... Caught three xanthid crabs who were digging through my live rocks and killing my snails -____- ... They were food for...

I had the same prob with mine for a month , had been testing water quality always fine but did have a bloom of algae in back of tank... The results were coming out as zero phosphates because the algae was sucking it all up. I changed my feeding regiments as well as using a phosphate bond which...

Sweet :)

If you have shrooms best bet is a plastic water bottle cut in half filled with live rock rubble an just leave them in there for a week in the tank and they'll grab onto something lol

Super glue works great with leathers, zoas, and ricordea ,in my experience, For healing and attaching to live rock. Mushrooms not so much cause they secrete themselves right off of it. Just be careful with small zoas as too much glu can spread and catch on to the sides making it unable to fully...

Forgot lol Aeration was not needed at the time due to it only being a sort time and I had no fish only inverts, although if fish are involved and a longer duration is needed for travel then I would reccomend the live bait buckets they sell at Walmart believe they are also 5 gal, comes with top...

Ive moved the tank before (28 gal nano). I had five 5gal buckets from home depot with the leak proof lids. First step was to disconnect everything but I left the filter basket in its place and the lid on top. Removed enough water intill it was right above my tallest piece of live rock. The...

Recently saw this little tank online wondering if anyone had any opinions towards it...? www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAPI-SK9-zY

Yeah that's what I thought but an aquarist told me that the females have the spine as well just not as long but as far as I was concerned was the males have the spines and the females don't ... So far they haven't done anything to each other and actually swim together but I noticed they did...

Thanks for the luck (28g if it makes a difference ) They've been eaten fine so far... She had the lfs feed them frozen and live brine and they ate both before she bought them... Also cultivating copepods ... Last night fed them twice with live brine and frozen brine ... Going to start hatching...

Was surprised by getting two mandarin dragonets yesterday for early valentines day gift!! :) Only problem is I believe they gave her two males... From what I've read the males have the elongated spine... Now does that mean the females don't have a dorsal spine at all or just not as long as the...

Well if anybody ever makes they're way down to Zoo Miami hit me up for some benefits ;)

Thanks

Ty :) O sweet would be cool to converse with other nearby enthusiasts !

Hi everyone ! I live in Miami and I'm new to nano-reefs and salt water aquariums. I've had freshwater tanks before but their nothing like the experience of creating a marine ecosystem =D. I've always worked with mammals from working at a vet , to alligator wrestling, to currently being a zoo...
