    no skimmer on my 15g

    evo - liverock is in most cases dead coral, but I'm not really understanding what your tank plans are so please forgive in advance. Bryan - weekly 10% waterchanges can have your nano running for a really long time. And by that I mean the upgrade or boredom bug. A lite fishload and SPS maybe...

    Any deals on Instant Ocean 160 Gal

    I'm going to try Seachem reef next. I've heard really good things about it. The only slight on it I know of is that Boron is 2X NSW.

    May I see pics of your closed loop?

    Because you can't drill the bottom, maybe consider a Calfo overflow instead. How many returns are you wanting from your closed loop?

    Equipment setup/power strips

    I would figure out the wattage that you are using and go from there. From the total wattage we can figure out current draw. The DJ panels sounds like it'll be your best bet. When I go big I'm either going to use them or do a similar DIY job.

    what colore for the bottom of bb tank?

    I don't recall anyone asking about painting the bottom of a BB before. Never really thought about it. Neat idea. My next tank I want to do a blue to black fade going top to bottom.

    Red Slime Additive

    What are you feeding? Increasing flow will also help remove red slime buildup, but only masks the problem.

    Does anyone know where i can get a custom UV glass made? (Bayonne)

    your local glass shop should be able to get you UV glass. Now with that said... what bulb type MH do you have? DE bulbs require UV glass, but mogul based bulbs have UV protection built in. If the plexiglass doesn't have light from the MH passing through it, then you should be able to go with...

    Another RODI Water Quality Question

    beginner needing help

    I put some notes in the quote ( ) From the frogspawn to the torch, the number of them you may be able to keep will depend on aquascaping and the coral's temperament. Start with you favorite on the list, see how it adapts to your tank and move onto number 2. Do you have any specific fish you...

    Which tank to buy?

    Re: new tank starting I would beg to differ on this. Tanks crash regardless of size. Nanos and large tanks each have different set of limits that have to be respected. As for fish... Take a look at this link. Alot of good info on stocking a nano. (Mods please delete if not allowed please)...
