cheato -use it for nutrient export rock - use it if you plan on breeding pods sand - don't bother. Given the limited real estate in the hob fuges - i'd just put cheato in. prune it frequently. my two cents (contrarian point of view) i found maintenance to be a pain and if the pump gets...

looks great! when you get the LR - be sure to have buckets to take water out. The LR will displace some of that volume you have in there. Think of it as your first water change. ;D

do you mean like an in-line uv light to help kill things? I would probably pass. Perhaps I'd consider hooking one up to a small bare bottom QT tank. Caveat: I've never used one personally. So perhaps someone who actually has used it and found it to be helpful can chime in here.

a plus one for clamsdirect. Barry knows his stuff.

Holy Cow! :o how did you get them out?

what happened? how did it "suddenly" appear?

Do you think it dug too close to a coral by accident and was stung? what corals do you have in there again?

agree with harlequin...99 out of 100 times the bristleworm is just a scavenger. Once in a blue moon you get a fireworm that eats corals.

jason natal has one - talksa bout it on his 120 tale. he seems to like it.

Not necessary but I do it to keep my feather dusters happy. Phytoplankton is naturally consumed by Zooplankton (e.g. copepods). If you don't care about copepods (and maybe only care about the big amphipods) - then it's not necessary to dose. Fatheree (author for tridacnid clams) would also posit...

just please don't use table salt. ;) also - this is probably obvious but when water evaporates from the tank - do not top off with salt water.

i think the answer depends on what tank temps you get in the summer. A MH/T5 fixture (like say a maristar) would increase teh amount of heat in the tank - potentially forcing the purchase of a chiller. sorry to hear you are moving away from the led's. Any reason why?

good to hear on the cyano bac front! How did you ever make out btw with the anthias...did they make peace or was it west side story?

repeat after me Google is your friend... ;) ;D :D The Aquarium is located at 55 Coogan Blvd., Mystic, CT.

mavl.....a ZOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo. you should charge people for coming to your place! ;) give me a shout when you want to meet up!

chuck - for full disclosure i've used the technique with astraes, mexican turbo snail, chestnut snail and nerite snails. No issues. calaxa - peace man - you are welcome to your own opinion. I will have to agree to disagree with you.

Chuck - There is another method that can be done with snails - and that would be to hold them above the water line until they affix to the glass, then let them take their sweet time deciding whether to go into the water or not. That stated, you really cannot go wrong with drip and temp...
