May I ask a stupid question?
Why do you want to have MH, PC, and T5 lighting on the tank?
Besides the added complexity of replacing all those bulbs and plugs, timers etc. - I would just imagine it to look rather awkward - unless it's all hidden in a canopy.
Why not just go MH/T5? or pure T5?
yup - I dropped my tunze magnet in the sand and voila - fuzzy magnet.
The iron particles in the sand are fine per dr. ron shimek...who I consider to be a good source. That stated, I'd avoid dropping your mag-float in there as reeflections mentioned. Here's his specific reply to me that I...
welcome ron - I'll be tagging along to see how your tank goes. It's a great reason to build a tank and hopefully we can help you avoid all the common pitfalls everyone else goes thru.
If you haven't purchased equipment for your nano (test kits, food, etc.) - you could join our group buy with...
You're off by only 10 inches. ;D

They are not pseudochromis at all - completely different family.
Serranus tortugarum is from the western atlantic and is (like threadfin/glass cardinalfish) one of the few shoaling species.
I actually converted my 6100s back to 6000s to avoid the sandstorms. I'd have like one corner of the tank with no sand and right next to it a 6 inch mound. ;D
I figure once I get corals going and the tank gets more crowded - I'll switch the hockey pucks out and make them back into 6100s.
I was under the impression that the higher the team - the more water the air can hold. Therefore conversely - the lower the temp - the less amount of water can be held. I'm just wondering if you kept your temp higher upstairs - wouldn't the relative humidity drop down to a more manageable 53%...
looks great joe! i love how the shrimp is enjoying the archway.
question - did you widen the tunze cover? Looks like you took out every other bar or something.
Unless the tank is big - there's a good chance the GSM will go after the black perc and show him/her who's the boss. I would suggest returning/selling one clown.
holy cow I thought this was a joke post.
first off - WELCOME to NJRC! glad you found us.
I have READ about some people who still maintain UGFs in a reef environment - but I believe it was mostly softies - and also the guy was doing some kind of very slow reverse flow.
POint being - it's...
Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing)
Well it's been 4 weeks since LR was introduced into the tank. not a whole lot of things in there - the usual cast of mini brittle stars, asterina stars (which I've been removing), a few bristle worms, a feather duster rock (i call it that...
i could be wrong by bio spira is in the refrigerated section I believe - I don't know if OG II or which LFS carries it. I thought about going that route too but just ended up buying cured LR from another reefer on this board.
I wouldn't put anything in there with any readings on Ammonia or...
