    I know one should never question the majesty, but I think they moved it to sps/lps and out of photography. So I say frag away baby!

    Her 20 (pics)

    We had always intended on moving the flame to a bigger tank and the 20g was well established so we thought we would be OK. It was really weird because for 4 months the flame was happy. He took mysis daily and loved it. We left sheets of nori in there every now and again and he was happily...

    High Nitrate

    Just look for a CPR hang of the back refugium. We have one on our 30g and just bought one for the 20g. We added live sand and live rock and a ball of chaeto to help with nitrates.

    I am just hoping it is the one frag and not multiple.

    Cleaning Crew

    When my fiancee had her 20 setup in law school we had a pair of fire, pair of peppermint, and a pair of camelbacks all together and they did not bother each other. I don't know how big your tank is, but you should be fine with pairs of each. If you can, always get a pair they tend to stay out in...

    I had it in a small DTs copepod container filled with water and I noticed it had "dropped" several small things that looked like eggs on the bottom. I think I will just eat the cost of the frag (20$) and go from there. It was already starting to bleach all around where that critter was.

    It is solid like a tube and the purple part is the end of the tube. I pulled it out and put it in a small container, I do not have much hope for it. I would rather be safe than sorry.

    little help-best way to acclimate new lights

    When we made the jump from PC to T5s on the 20 we just took our time. Reduce the time period your light are on drastically and build from there. Also, if you can turn on different bulbs on your set, start with the blue ones and work your way up.

    Our 30 Gallon Cube (pics included)

    Just wanted to post a few more things about the tank setup: We cycled the tank for a month with just live rock and the powerheads to get rid of the debris and grow the bacteria. After that we pulled out everything, and cleaned the tank and put down the live sand bed. I also threw in a few...

    Calcium results

    You have to be very careful with the syringe and how much air is present in there when you do the test. It takes some trial and error to figure it out. Second make sure you are shaking it after each drop. Also, how old is the test?

    The reef fanatic at this point is the winner for me. Now, my main question is what type of pump would I hook up to it? Basically it is going into a 10 gallon reservoir and will only be moving water up about 4 feet so I don't think I need too much. Any opinions would help.

    If I were not so lazy I would have a sweet tale of the tank thread up and running from the start of this tank, however I am lazy so there. You would have all been waiting with baited breath for the next picture or update to come, but again I have failed you all. So for those of you who are into...

    I do not have a sump but was going to setup a 10 g as a reserve to pump the water out of. I do like the idea of the OH CRAP turn off valve, none of us are perfect.
