Found the source of my continued nitrate battle ... the water I was getting from the LFS. Oh well. So I guess now is the time, even though we only have a small 14g nano, to get an RO/DI. I heard that our water company is going to Chloramine though so wasn't sure if that would impact any choices...

Mine went missing then I found it's carcass in the clutches of my brittle starfish. :o

Thank you calaxa. Greatly appreciate the help. I'll google up Hanna and see what I can find. Thx.

My tank is only a 14g so I'm not looking for a controller or anything. I just need a decent ph monitor. Are they all relatively the same or are there any I should avoid? I really struggle with the test kits and right now my ph reads around 7.9. I'm not 100% I'm doing a good enough job so am...

So you've had my wife's cooking :D Sounds good. I'll work on mixing it up. Think the level of feeding is about appropriate?

Thanks for all the help. I'm going to work on identifying the snails this week. As for feeding, here's what I'm doing. 1 capful of Roti-Feast every other week for the coral. For the clownfish, goby and cleaner shrimp, I've been putting a total combined of about 6 flakes in every other day. I...

Really set on that one. Just ordered a Laurencia tonight from reefcleaners but can't find a pink galaxy anywhere. Guess at some point one will pop up. Thanks for the help.

The brittle is purplish/brown. Brian at OGII didn't think it would require any extra food, but do you think it will? The rubble in the back will go away once I get my freshly placed order for some red macro algae and some cheato which will replace it. To be candid, don't know the species of...

Thanks. Yeah, I'm thinking 3 is a stretch. I bought that yellow headeded goby on an impulse and now regret it because once we got home we researched it and it should be in a larger tank. He seems to be doing ok, but I'm not here to stress out fish. So we may give him away when we get the firefish.

Finally got a pic of our new 14g biocube. Had to use the point and shoot, but here we go. I owe Feng a huge thanks. He took the live rock and sand I had and exchanged it for stuff right out of his tank. Yeah, we still went fast, but it's hard waiting lol. We're done for a while once I add some...

Not having any luck finding macro algae either locally or online. Specifically I'm looking for a Pink Galaxy. Anyone have any recommendations on where to look? Thx.

Cool, I can wait a few days. Yeah, I think it was more neon green. Now that I know the name though I've googled it up and am pretty sure (as sure as a newb can be lol) that it's a neon green star polyp. I'll wait a few days and if it doesn't come back then will try to get a new one somewhere...

Yup. That's it thanks. That's odd though because when I google up green star polyps the images I see aren't anything like this.

Sorry I don't have a pic. Yesterday at SMCooler's I picked up a soft coral that was green and it grows out about 1" looks a little like really bright green grass. It's one that should spread pretty easy and quick I believe and would grow on the pump return lines etc. It's the only one that...

Stopped over at Stan's today. Great guy and more than willing to share his knowledge in a non-condescending manner which was greatly appreciated. I learned a ton just being there for a short bit. Great prices too. Thanks again for all the help today Stan.

If I knew what that was I'd be able to answer lol. Sorry, just not up on all the names yet. My son was absolutely mesmerized though.

Yup. Feng is a great guy. I really like going there. Been there about 4 times over the last week.

Few miles west of Morristown.

deepblue68 - that tank looks really nice. Have any bigger shots?

I almost bought one of these today. Thanks for making this a sticky so I'd see it.
