Tank looks great, love your acans too. It is good to see other out there with the 12g and doing well.

Is the skimmer also brand new? They take a while to build up a slime coat to skim properly so the more time the better. Most people if you go through the tale of the tank thread do run one during cycling. It may help reduce in some large algae outbreaks.

Why do we feel the need to constantly upgrade and add things to a system that is pretty much perfect in the first place? Our 30g has been up and running for a few months and everything was going dandy, hell the mandarin we put in there is fattening up. So our Picasso clowns started to host our...

http://www.coralmagazineus.com/default.asp Yup found their new site. The old site said they shut down in Nov 08.

I loved Coral Magazine and they have started a new magazine: http://reeflifemagazine.com/ It was all saltwater fish and corals and had some great reads in it. I hope the new magazine lives up to the old one.

You might want to look into getting two powerheads, that way you can go any route you want. We have 2 korlia #2s and love them on our 30g cube.

Those are some beautiful acans. Did you keep the stock light in the tank or upgrade?

I posted this in my nano thread but I am so damn proud of my cell phone I had to post it here as well.

Hola amigos I know it has been awhile since I rapped at you, but things have been getting pretty hairy around here, literally. I was fighting a large outbreak of hair algae in the 12 and then got super busy at work so it was more of a maintenance job than actually trying to solve the problem. At...

How is the flow? My fiancee was having trouble with some LPS receding but we moved the powerheads and everything is fine now.

Glad to see he is doing so well.

How is the little guy doing? I have raised baby birds (wild and captive-bred) successfully using Zupreem (Embrace) and Lafbers (Nutri-Start) formulas made specifically for them, fed with a syringe. Four babies successfuly raised (1 conure, 1 cockatiel, 1 pidgen, 1 bluejay), no fatalities. Good luck!

There is also a nice dog beach in Manasquan at the cove. It is a dedicated dog beach so you don't have to be out of there early.

I figured as much, thank you both for the replies. You know what they say, there are no stupid questions just stupid people. :)

Random maybe stupid question: I put a small zoo colony on a piece of live rock (about 20 polyps) which has now grown to over a 100 polyps and takes up a few square inches of the live rock. I know live rock hosts bacteria to help in filtration and the more surface area the better. My question is...

So far so good with the Remora. It was a bit loud for the first few weeks and did produce micro bubbles. However, after about 3 weeks or so that all went away. We have the tank in our living room not the bedroom so I can understand how loud that can be. We have to empty the cup every other day...

The skimmer is just a HOB by Remora, and the fuge is also HOB. I will try and get a pic up of the back of the tank that will show two different units.

That is quite an aggressive stocking plan. Are you looking to move up to a bigger tank soon?

Yes it is a hawkfish. I know they are supposed to go after shrimp. So far so good and he has been in there about 3-4 months. It probably helps that both cleaner shrimp are bigger than the fish. We are taking the shrimp out anyway until we catch the mantis that is stalking the tank.

The Picasso clowns have taken quite a liking to the frogspawn. We will have to get them an anemone soon.
