Oooops :blush: , sorry, I knew our mod wasnt going to get into that bind....Sorry again.

Navarre, its good that your okay. Great true life story, almost sounded like something from a horror movie. :sick: . Hey if anyone reads this gloves, gloves, gloves. Get some surgical gloves, Walmart, LFS, Walgreens, etc.. Whenever my Hands are in the tank, my precious hands are wearing gloves.

I like the Nature’s Ocean® Bio-Activ Live™ Sand . This sand is really nice and works great to build good bacteria. Welcome aboard :good: .

I've added the last stage of LR, this type is tonga branch, 3 lbs. cured. I was looking all over for the LR, and finally got some while I was down in Los Angeles last week. Placed LR on the top of the mesa reef, hmmmm. looks okay I think. Ill add pictures later this week. With my 3 month...

30 minutes was just my rough estimate. My daily routine consist of checking the saltinity of the water; adding R/O-distilled water; clearing the glass of algae build up; cleaning the tank of any salt creep (I like to stay on top this because eventually this stuff will harden and its very...

A Nano reef is a hobby that will definetly keep you occupied, you must have some time each day to monitor/maintain your tank, roughly half an hour or so. Not only is it time consuming, you have to have patience and have the willingness to do researches on many things on your path to a great nano...

Aquascaper, do you dose magnesium into your tank and how often?

Just thought I'd add a couple more full tank pictures. This is with both lunar lights on. (white and blue) This is with the back refugium light on.

Yes indeed, I already had some cultivating in the prior refugium, about 1/4 lb.. I've already ordered the mangroves so it will be a combination of plants. :good:

Those sexy shrimp are pretty cool B) , although Im not to sure if another shrimp, like the cleaner or peppermnt shrimp, will harass the sexy's.

Whatever your doing, keep up the great work. Both of your tanks are awesome. Cant wait to see what your next tank will look like.

Now if your able to spawn those two fishes, Ill be the first one buy that fish. :lol:

Temperature: between 75° and 83° F and constant - Should not move more than two degrees in one day. Im not exactly sure what part of the country you are at, but summer is coming so you might want to buy a small fan to place over your tank, to cool it down. Just remember if you do add a fan there...

So are the blue lunar lights not good @ night? Ive been told by my LFS and some books, that the light actually simulates moonlight and is beneficial for some nocturnal corals and inverts. What do you think? This pertaining to the 8 hours of darkness.

I decided on upgrading my refugium to the AquaFuge CPR Refugium PS, it fit perfectly on to my existing tank. Kit included body(made of acrylic), maxijet 1200 powerhead, skimmer and a 24watt compact flourescent. I did a tranfer of all the refugium substance from the back of my aquapod filter area...

I went back and read through your journal, just trying to figure out if you used uncured live rock vs. cured LR? I myself used uncured LR and added a raw shrimp to start off the important cycling period. I left the shrimp in for about 24 hours and saw the ammonia spike to about 6-8 ppms, then...

Thank you, SH and SF05. Im trying to slowly add more of the hardy type corals. Mushrooms and zoanthids. Some how I got the clam w/ mushrooms and saw that I had a bonus coral the Kenya tree, and not mentioning the many types of dwarf feather dusters coming out.

I was shopping around in Doctors Fosters and Smith, and I saw this cool gadget. The price is a little high but you get 2 for 1, check it out. Digi-Mag Digital Thermometer.

No place like home. This is outstanding, 1 of my ocellaris clown fish decided to take on the featherduster as a host :D. Who would have thought? After serious considerations on what I would be getting them to frolic in, they decided for themselves. HMMM, this is isnt bad, no stinging...

I've added a new piece to my tank, a clam shell with 7 bulls eye mushrooms and what looks to be a kenya tree coral. Water parameters have really sustained: ammonia, nitrites, nitrates = zero. calcium 500, ph 8.3, temp 77.9 degree F. Im also starting to use Bioplankton made by Liquidlife@. for...

Its basically like picking from a chevy and ford. I myself bought the aquapod, so you know where my vote is. Nano cube, comes in different packages, that is customizable, aquapod has 2 main packages- 1 w/HQI lights the other compact flourescents. Aquapod actually holds more water in the main...

Temperature: between 75° and 83° F and constant - Should not move more than two degrees in one day. What was the temp before adding the heater to tank?

Heres a list of livestock as of today. INVERTS. 1) 1 skarlet cleaner shrimp (he's the king of the tank) 2) 3 blue legged hermits 3) 3 red legged hermits 4) 3 cerrith snails 5) 2 astrea snails 6) 3 nassarius snails 7) 1 peppermint shrimp (needed this guy for 1 glass anemone, he did his job. I...
