Why: I have loved snorkeling and the ocean in general. My wife liked the fish. So SW after decades of tropical fish was the obvious next step. Who: I do most of the dirty work, planning and composition was a family affair, and I think the whole family loves the tank. For vacations I try to do my...

Here is where I got mine...they will custom build one if you want something sized. Also can buy just sump minus skimmer. I bought sump/refugium and custom skimmer works great for me...

Fed them for the first time. Mamma Mia they loved them ... I used the fork method. Will have to get some more for sure. I also have some caviar in the fridge...will have to sneak some to the fish while the wife isn't looking. ;)

For macro algae you need it. If you just have live rock I guess you wouldn't.

I have the Catalina lights both are great choices IMO. Glad you were there.

I think it is the body of the coral....and perhaps from being stressed...now where is Bill when you need him.

I am sorry to hear you lost all those beautiful fish. Wow just really sorry to hear it.

Because you subject them to radioactive sand from the LI sound. ;D

They do sell small drop in chillers for nanos....they fit in your fan slot, cost is about 100 bucks if I ever go back to running mine that will be an option.

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! Wow that is a chunky pump!! Lucky you have room for it. Hopefully they added some efficiency along with the size.

I don't have them but I figure don't want to put anything heavier on those particular circuits. So thanks for the heads up.

Don't give up on the cuke ... I had one go missing in a nano for weeks...so in a in 10X the size he could take a season vacation and you won't find him. Until they get as big as MikeM's then besides being ugly they cannot be missed.

Thanks Bill...I don't remember reading that in the manual...haven't read the DC8 manual yet though maybe that is in there.

Cool but I don't see how you are going to keep them under 40G :-X. Let me know what you might need.

It looks like if you are going to keep it under 40 G then the profile is going to be very interesting .... looks like 2X2x? if my shoebox measuring looks right. And you said stands...does that mean more then one?

I have to agree that a picture would help a lot. Picture of someone elses doesn't help so much though.

I have a crab that I banished to the fuge..funny I hear him on occasion but never see him. No fish mainly for the reason that you would never see them.

Works for me.

I have layers like an onion. ;D Mud/sand/rubble/cheato. I have filter socks on both my drains and honestly I don't have problems with built up gunk in my fuge. I guess I don't have big rocks but I do have rubble and I have good pod growth.

Yes for sure adding a fish can make others more Territorial/aggressive. There is a solution that will make some LFS happy, upgrade your tank size. I have a bi-color pseuodocromis...in a 24G nano he was a TERROR. In the 120 he is sort of shy and reserved. The dottyback may have been...
