wonderful thank you! I really hope i dont regret this switch. I know nanos can be a litle more challenging but my living room just was not made to have a that large of a tank. I went from a 55 to the 46 about a year ago and now to the nano.so i really hope this is the final resting tank haha

Okay, I was kind of hoping that a new sand bed would be kosher because I want to do more of a crushed coral bottom, as opposed to the really fine sand I have now. I am luckily setting the cube up right next to the 46 so this is my plan of action (suggestions are appreciated!) : 1. Siphon water...

We have decided to tear down our 46 bf and condense all of our favorite fish and coral into a 24g jbj inorder to make our living room a little more spacious Any other time i have transferred tanks i have been upgrading, my question is should i use my old sand bed in my nano cube? Or just start...

I recently switched my 55gallon to a 46 gallon bow front. now there are tiny bubbles coming out from the trickle system through the return. it is so bad it almost makes the tank look cloudy, i thought they would wrk themselves out since we just set everything up, but they are really starting...

yeah i thought it was strange too because she was one of the last additions to the tank, no one bugged her for 8 months, then when i switched tanks, her and the fish went in at the same time, and she lived happily in the new aquascape for two days until last night BAM massacre, the only thing...

:( Last night I got home and noticed all my fish in the back corner of the tank, I look to see the they are all eating my brittle star fish, and that she is still alive, trying to escape them. They literally ate pretty much her whole body, but her legs were still moving for hours after i...

i was afraid to leave the filter off since i probably stirred up alot of nutrients

I recently downsized my 55g to a 46 bow front. I didnt want to risk a mini cycle so i used all my rock and water from the old system, i also used the same sand bed i just used about half of what was in my 55, and plan on adding some new. Anyways, its been about 72 hours and my water is still...

Oh, I always thought copepods were the tiny white specs on the glass and Rotifers were the bugs on the rocks, oops

Rotifers kind of look like shrimp

My starry blenny is one of my favorite fish in my tank. He is a model citizen , only thing he voters is my toadstool coral which he uses as a bed. He literally sleeps on his side on it . He also loves my coral banded shrimp they are hardly separate I have seen the shrimp clean out the inside of...

As soon as I added my starry blenny, him and my coral banded shrimp have not separated. I watched him let the shrimp clean out the inside of his mouth. Just thought it was interesting and if anyone else noticed a relationship like this.

Got mine from a not so good LFS. He had ich by the next morning :( hope yours goes better!

Yeah the tang is just a baby. I took her from a friend breaking down their tank. I know she is not a permanent guest, unless of course i upgrade before she outgrows it :angel: i kind of just came into the tang, the blenny, the melanarus and I had never had more than 6 fish in there ever, so I...

Lay it on me straight. Potential problems of overcrowding? I do water changes bi weekly. Everyone gets along, no one seems stressed ( except maybe the melanarus wrasse who only appears once every few days) 55gallon reef 2 clowns Cardinal fish Bi color chromis Six line wrasse Melanarus wrasse...

That's what I have been reading. I really want to switch to the fuge ASAP. I have a 20 long I just need to apoxy the dividers. I already have a bunch of rubble rock in with my bioballs

Hmmm. Looks like I have a weekend project. My tank is a little crowded by popular opinion probably, which is why I'm so obsessive with water changes. Could that be the problem ? How should I do water changes? It worries me to wait longer but I could be being compulsive

Okay! I'll pick that up. I'll start looking for a use skimmer, I was waiting to get one because I don't want a hang on back one and I want to turn my wet/dry bio ball into a fuge. But I'm afraid ditching the bio balls will mess with my bb

I do run carbon. None of them are doing bad.. But there has not been really any noticeable growth , some have been there as long as 6 months.

How often is ideal for water changes? I do 13 gallons every other week.

No funds to update right now :(

Mushrooms, Xenia , hammer coral, toadstool, cabbage coral, Kenya trees,zoas, plate coral and this othe red sps that came in on a rock I'm not sure. Anything different I should be dosing?

Hey everyone! I feel like I am finally getting a grip of the saltwater thing and that everything is starting to stabilize, as far as feeding, water changes, fish health, equipment, water par. etc. So now my question is, how do i get more coral to thrive not survive. I have a 55 gallon reef...

Lesson learned, I was weary because of it being in a little separate container at the frag swap, but tried it anyways. Never again!! Lol

Yes! Did a 50% water change last night and woke up to crystal clear water today. Ran a test kit no nitrates nitrites or ammonia and 8.4 ph!!!!!!! I was so happy. My Nem at my friends house doesn't look like it's going to make it :( But I'm so relieved. All the coral looks bak to normal. I...
