We actually went with just the straight AquaC skimmer. The nano is rated 5-25 g and the urchin is in sump and we don't have a sump on any of our tanks. We decided that going with a stonger skimmer would be a better decision and we were so impressed, we bought one for our 20g as well. You don't...

For the lighting, zoas, softies and mushrooms should be no problem at all. I know they make a skimmer to fit in the back of the BC29 but I don't think I have ever heard of someone recommending them. They are air stone driven which is pretty worthless. I love the remore but you would have to...

Also, preview is your friend.

Stock lighting, two 24w 50/50 bulbs.

In my 23g I have PC lighting and have no problems with zoos and mushrooms. I have not tried other softies as they are not to my taste. I also keep some LPS, acans, trumpets, chalices and a duncan. You might not get the same growth out of them as under higher lighting but they still do well. My...

Got that dendro from OGII for $50. It is already sprouting a new head so I am excited to see how this grows out.

Don't put it in a mesh metal bag, it will just collect junk. I just have in in there, it is more like branch than rubble to there is plenty of room back there for things to flow through. I just vacuum them out every few months to make sure nothing collects back there.

Just left the back chamber in the dark. Threw cured live rock in there and I am glad I kept it separate as it has aipsatia and mojamo. Need to pull that out tomorrow. I live in Brielle NJ (08730). We threw some in our 20g and in the 20g refugium and now a nice little colony took form on the live...

I very luckily had a red macro algae as a hitch hiker on some live rock. This way I do not have to worry about lighting a back chamber and adding chaeto. The algae looks cool and actually glows under the led moon lights. If anybody wants some let me know, it is about to be trimmed. In the...

On a more serious note, get the chocolate chip star out of the tank or he will eat your anemone. You can look at a dwarf angel like a flame, coral beauty, flamback or pygmy. You might be able to fit certain reef safe wrasses in there or one of the smaller tang species. You also might want to add...

I think you m Well if you are going to go this route you might as well get a Nahacky's Angelfish. Absolutely beautiful dwarf angel that would easily fit in a 55 gallon. http://www.saltcorner.com/sections/zoo/fish/angelfishes/centropyge/Cnahackyi.htm If you can find one they generally run...

Pull the chocolate chip star out, they will eat corals and are not reef safe at all. I have not heard of calcium builing on walls but if you have a glass tank get a scraper.

For mynd. Top down view of our zoa rock. There are nuclear greens, purple deaths, jokers, purple people eater, and alpha and omegas in there. Two good pictures of our clowns near the anem. Both get a nice pic here.

Don't get the lettuce nudibranch they don't eat hair algae. They only eat a specific type of macro algae and as onefish2fish said they can very easily get chopped up in a powerhead.

If you go to tfjpetcenter.com they have them in 250k bulbs.

This may be early, but what type of tank are you going with? Glad to see another nano person jump back in.

You don't need to put any fish back there. We use it as a space to throw hermits that are either hunting snails/other hermits. Our fuge has sand, live rock, and chaeto and that is it. We did buy DTs copepods to help get the pod culture going back there. Our liverock and chaeto were not coming...

When we found the mandarin he was laying on his back and we thought he was dead, but when we scooped him up he was still alive. Unfortunately he was beyond the point of no return and we just separated him until he passed away a little while later. I put the orchid up for sale and I know he is...

The mandarin was on live copepods which we supplemented with live brine that we cultured. We also bought copepods to make sure we had enough in the tank. We also had him eating some of the rods reef food.

Go with like 5-7 hermit crabs scarlet and blue leg. You don't need a ton of them and they can be nasty little things. We use cerith and nassarius snails to stir up the sand bed and astrea snails. You don't have to go nuts with a cleanup crew because the hermits will eventually hunt your snails...
