Note to JBJ nano cube owners - I would have an small, empty aquarium available in your house in case of emergency. After a year of hard work developing a beautiful 24 g nano i had a had a wall crack open and spray 2/3 of the water onto my living room floor. This occured without anyone...

I'll try the Hydor flo. The palm light for the fuge provides a perfect amount of light for the area but not so much that it excessively lights the are surrounding the tank. I have to say I'm more pleased than I originally thought i would be. It throws the "too difficult to set up a refugium...

How do you feel about using the Hydor FLO in your cube? I've looked around for reviews but havent found anything but marketing/sales spin. Pros/cons would be appreciated. P.S. I went for the DIY refugium you suggested. What a piece of cake! Twenty minutes of work. My Nitrates are at 2.5...

Within months your little kenya will be a nice sized tree. Once it's full grown it will begin dopping limbs which will attach to the substrate and start forming new trees. Needless to say it's one fast grower!!

The most commonly accepted idea is that the pulsing is a means of gas exchange. While we are on the topic of corals stinging; what soft corals will sting other soft corals?

Red Sea Mimic blenny gets about 3", has tons of personality. Could be a fun addition.

One clownfish will be ok; and the anenome is not neccessary. I believe you stated your tank was 110 liters? Anenomes are difficult to care for and if it perishes in this size tank it will take everything with it. They need excellent water quality and lighting. I had a pair of false perculas...

You may need more frequent additions of calcium. Some off the bleaching may also be due to change in lighting intensity which will correct itself over time.

Also, do you remove the sponge in the first compartment once your cheato growth has really taken? Thanks for your insight.

I can't remember, but how much live rock rubble did you place in your 2nd chamber when starting your refugium?

While we are on the the mod topic, what are your feelings about the Hydor FLO addition? It's real cheap so i figured i'd give it a shot if you thought it was worthwhile.

Excellent points and no need to apologize for being blunt. In my opinion blunt and honest truth can save one serious time, money, and headache in this hobby. I appreciate your follow up and plan to order a palm light and embark on my own DIY fuge in the near future.

Better simply from a growth perspective or how so? The halogen didn't create heat; correct? The egglite looked better aesthetically, so what is the real advantage of removing the back and using more light? Thanks for input on the subject.

where did you get that 10 W Quartz Halogen? I think it seems like a great mod if it doesnt effect the temp at all. My Cube is sitll in the early stages (less than 2 months) and i could see this being a wonderful addition over the next month as the tank continues to mature.

Thanks to good advice about the calibration of the thermometer the issue is solved. The past few days the tank has held perfectly constant at 80 degrees, i simply had to set the heater to 75. Thank you to everyone who helped me solve this issue. Before adding the heater it was closer to 76...

Thanks, I recently read a similar review and recommendation regardig my heater specifically. Apparently it hold it's temperature very precisely but is often calibrated up to 5 degrees off. What is a safe range to reduce the temperature at, 1 degree per day?

I am having difficulty reaching (and sustaining) an appropriate temperature. I woke up today and my house was 66 degrees. The tank is near 82 but the heater was set on 77 degrees and somehow turned on. It's an ebojager 100 watt. What I'm wondering is why the heater would be on when it was...
