i don't know if that will work... What I am thinking is that the intake (the ph) absolutely has to be outside the overflow - since the overflow will be too low for the PH to be situated. This means the outflow would have to be in the overflow and you may hear some noise from the water dropping...

sign up to become a member...then participate in the group buy for AWI coming up next. You'll be able to get a RODI for a good price. With a nano though - perhaps you don't want to make that investment (i would since this hobby is addicting and for all I know you'll have four nanos next...

nice pics sandee...i'm surprised you took any of ny's...not much there if you ask me! :P I walked by jenkinsons' only because the sticker-shock compared to the size of the place. (hijack warning) Noticed you don't have New England's on your list...you should check that place out in Boston. I...

you don't want to know............LOL!!!!!

appears to be a baby from the horta creature! look out!

there are blue acros/sps or those zoas called tubbs blue. purple - besides coralline you could consider a frag of the grape cap.

for a mixed reef like this - i'd just make sure my bulbs were good/adequate and you should be good to go for the photosynthetic corals. The filter feeders like the coco worms and feather dusters are more of a pita - in a mature tank they may be ok without feeding but for newer tanks you may want...

one other thought - you already have the tunze footprint - with the tank maturing - the corals will impact the flow as you originally designed it...that is, there probably parts of the tank that used to get flow that don't anymore -hence some spots of cyano. One idea would be to just upgrade...

google up amphipods. If that's what you have - they are basically a nice live treat for fish...yummy! no worries. Maybe if they were in plague proportions (then you're feeding too much).

cheato -use it for nutrient export rock - use it if you plan on breeding pods sand - don't bother. Given the limited real estate in the hob fuges - i'd just put cheato in. prune it frequently. my two cents (contrarian point of view) i found maintenance to be a pain and if the pump gets...

looks great! when you get the LR - be sure to have buckets to take water out. The LR will displace some of that volume you have in there. Think of it as your first water change. ;D

do you mean like an in-line uv light to help kill things? I would probably pass. Perhaps I'd consider hooking one up to a small bare bottom QT tank. Caveat: I've never used one personally. So perhaps someone who actually has used it and found it to be helpful can chime in here.

a plus one for clamsdirect. Barry knows his stuff.

Holy Cow! :o how did you get them out?

what happened? how did it "suddenly" appear?

Do you think it dug too close to a coral by accident and was stung? what corals do you have in there again?

agree with harlequin...99 out of 100 times the bristleworm is just a scavenger. Once in a blue moon you get a fireworm that eats corals.

jason natal has one - talksa bout it on his 120 tale. he seems to like it.

Not necessary but I do it to keep my feather dusters happy. Phytoplankton is naturally consumed by Zooplankton (e.g. copepods). If you don't care about copepods (and maybe only care about the big amphipods) - then it's not necessary to dose. Fatheree (author for tridacnid clams) would also posit...

just please don't use table salt. ;) also - this is probably obvious but when water evaporates from the tank - do not top off with salt water.
