i like both versions, but if your gunna have a lot of corals you might not have room in the first set up for the future rocks that corals will come on, like i didnt =[

this might be one of your mystery organisms http://melevsreef.com/id/dualpalps.html I had alot when I started my tank

Ooo ok that makes sense. I wish I didnt already have live rock >.< maybe ill still buy some and put this rock in my other tank. Although my other tank is very full of rocks.

gah this is getting confusing o.o, so i should put sodium bicarobonate? lol

i kinda get it, so like shipping for the mantis is 40+10 for the mantis but if were to buy rocks at the same time it would be 10+LRprice+LRshipping instead of 10+40+LR+LRshipping? When you say small orders and piggyback, you mean like a small amount of rocks so i dont have to pay the mantis...

ok, any type of mantis you would recommend for this size? the N. Wennerae? ill probably start a journal on this tank so i can ask more questions as i go whats teh difference between the Mantis, Wennerae and the One Wennerae Mantis, delivered to your door, why is there a 40$ difference and ill...

wow you answered my question before i even got to ask it :lol: i am seriously thinking about doing this! i have a few more questions corals (any certain types that would be best for this size or for a mantis tank?) firefish (what mantids could i keep with this?) gobies (i dont think i could...

k i got the pictures the cabbage and all its slimey glory and the un-ided clown with a blue patch on it (if you can see it) you cant realyl see the yellow on the stripes but its there, the whole stripe is almost yellow except for the edges

o nitrates arn't harmful to fish? i thought if you had enough they would be, i learn new things everyday on these forums =] the only issues with corals is that they all seem to take longer to open up =\ and the cabbage thing, but the cabbage has done this before ill try to get the pics, the...

i dunno what to do now i retested both of the test and both turned out the same as they did before, so ONE at least has to be wrong, cause the results aren't anywhere near each other, there both kinda bad though so ill keep treating for high nitrates im going to go look at my lfs see if they...

ok i have a question i have 2 test kits and both have nitrate and so the first one i did turn out to be like 40-160 nitrate and so i asked on this forum what i could do to reduce it and yada yada. so i did a like 15-20% waterchange and i used the other kit (was to lazy to get the one i used...

wow that really is everything i would need to know, thank you very much. i went to the local pet store and it turns out that mantis shrimps are a bit out of my reach, unless i ordered online =\ is a mantis my only choice in a 8 gal? =[ also i was wondering, will mantis hurt corals?

ok thanks =] and you say i can find this at the grocery store?

is 7 low for dKH? and do i just put the sodium thing into the tank? how much do i put?

i have both live rock and base, but the base rock has been in there forever, it might as well be live, nothing has changed since i had 8.2 ph, ill try making more surface movement though im going to the pet store today so ill see if they have any ph buffers are water changes the only way to...

uh i didnt really get what u said about the ph, this is a saltwater tank o.o thanks about the nitrates, ill do a big water change and try to do small ones more frequently

two quick questions how can i fix low ph, the ph in my tank is 7.8 and how can i fix extremely high nitrates :sick: , im guessing a big water change? thanks for any help

ooo that might work, i always wanted to try something different, ill look into that mantis btw i found out that for biocubes, size = gallons, so the tank is actually 8 gals if that makes any difference EDIT: does anyone know a link to a site or a post where i can learn more about mantis?

k, i did plan on making it mostly corals, but its fine, ill wait for a more nano sized tank

okie dokie, thanks for that, i wont get it =] ill wait till they have a bigger small tank

im thinking of getting a nano but its only like about 5 gals, so i was wondering how many fish and why type of fish i could put in there. or if it should just be mostly corals im guessing i could only fit 1-3 tiny fish in it with out causeing to much trouble, and some snails, maybe a shrimp...

illl try the cradit card but my tank is pretty deep, and i wont be able to get past 1/2 through, i probably shouldnt try the sharp metal stuff, im not very good at being careful lol and i have a magfloat but it doesnt do anything to the green spots...

so like the title says, i have small spots of green algae ALL over my glass and i cant scrub it off, and my snails cant get it off either, and its becoming a big annoyance because i can barely see inside my tank also i have small-big spots of purple, im guessing its coraline algae but i just...

ok thanks =)

o ok, well i knew they eat fish but they went for a few months without eating any so i was just wondering. any type of meat? do i stick the meat in the water or in a dry spot? ok thanks ive been using lightgreens but ill start buying darkgreens.

ok thanks ill try that, and specific type of fish i should use? do i use raw or cooked prawn or fish? and when u say between u mean in like the "armpit" part or under the actual arm?

recently all my chocolate chip starfish has been doing is slowly moving across the sand and making piles of it.. anyone have any idea whats it doing or if something is wrong with it?

uh.. so i should turtle pellets, fish pellets, AND veggys (what type of veggys can i use)? recently, my turtles have decided to eat my fish... so does that mean they are hungry?

yea it does looks like a hand well i hope it doess live long, i like it =D i wish i could see it more accually ive been wondering why it looks like theres so much, its right in the middle of the tank and we only have a very small power head near it, but its not even close or in direct aim of...

im 99.9999999999999999% sure that the white tips and while leaves are new ones growing because it happens on mine all the time ive never seen my caulerpa turn yellow though, so i cant help u there..

theres this white almost feathery oraganism inbedded in the skeleton of my green torch coral, and i just recently found it with my sucky camera and my torch covering it 90% of the time i couldnt get a good photo or video of it but i drew a picture =D all it does is open and close in the movement...

sorry :-( but this time a promise i won't get anything else till its stable, how do i know when its stable? my dad agreed this time, he always convinces me to get something. the clown i admit i wanted, but the scooter was him oh and the torch didnt die it just looked dead :\ im sure 1 scooter...

im probably not qualified to answer since im still new to marines, but in my experience, if it looks like a featherduster with out the featheryness (like just thin tentacles) and is brown or white, i would kill it. also feather dusters (from what ive seen (correct me if im wrong) usually have a...

UpDatE: I got the testkit with calc, KH, and phosphate, results are on my 1st post. I think my calc is to low... We also got a perc clown and another scooter blenny (i know that its not very wise to have 2 already) its a male and 2-3 times larger then the female... when we put the male in, the...

ok, ill look into a power sun, do i only need light on the basking area?

yea i plan to make the top part of the pond a basking area, once i find a rock or two that go above water level Thanks, ill lookin to one of those filters so wil i need to lights? 1 uvb and 1 heat? do i put them in the same basking spot or does the uva/uvb light go somewhere else? can i use a...

alright , but we havent gotten the filter yea so the water is still kinda foggy cause the filter im useing now is suckish. doo i need a heater? if so, what temp should it be at?

hmm ok, well i did a tempory set up with what i have for now, would u like a picture? :D That makes a lot of sense because it would always hide in the littlest knicks and crannys it could find. Alright ill go check it out

well i do but my dad doesnt want to make a pond cause were are movign in 3 years so yea.. were making and indoor 1, my dad can live with little goldfish. do mud/musk turtles need mud? and accually im in the us =\
