i just bought 10lb of lace rock. it always has some awesome shapes. the question is has anyone had used this in their tanks with any positive/negative feedback?
sucks not being able to start my cycle since i'll be moving in 3 weeks. but waiting for some dry Rock live Rock, more sand and power head. Then i could get the cycle going and actually start my fish adventure in the nano.

i was always considering doing the member thing but for up north members it wouldn't be as useful.
all vendors are down central/south. take travel time + gas prices + mileage on car(evo) = 15+% discount on buying from local store(approximately 1 mi away).
yeah i have seen those type of setups but those type of skimmers like BK etc would be WELL over the price range i would be willing to pay for a skimmer on a nano.
I'll see what the overall consensus of skimmer on the bc29 is. I haven't found a good thread with discussion of a great skimmer...
Hey,
I'm looking into the average price per bucket and best place to buy?
Reef Encounter - 119
FishTown USA - 75
so far fishtown is where I'm going to pick up my first batch but if anyone else has suggestions feel free to comment.
JR - i didn't want to get too drastic with the tank and do a sump. i want to keep it as simple as possible but for the skimmer minus well go with a known good skimmer and make the needed modifications to the canopy.
i'd like to display price list for myself and those looking to see price cost comparison or even to show much the hobby cost.

i know it would be fine without a skimmer but would require more accurate water changes. i know it's not a mandatory but it's nice to know all the extra organics are being removed.
thanks looking into the picos
thanks for the info, mnat. long time fan of your builds! yeah, i haven't seen one post on the oceanic skimmers made for the cubes so i didn't even put that on a list of things i would even buy.
for the remora. are you going with the nano or urchin? any big difference in performance or just the...
-first getting all required mods complete
-need to buy: skimmer/koralia#1PH/refractometer/thermometer/additional fan for heat (chillers are too damn expensive and won't be getting anything into the tank until sept-october)
-going with nature's ocean bioactiv sand 20# to the addition of the dry...
;D back in the hobby.
this time went more realistic and mapping out exactly how I want it setup and time frames on when everything should be done.
thanks to oscar for a GREAT DEAL. practically brand new never used BioCube 29
doing research on mods:
-remove chamber 1/2 blockage
-remove...
rfd4 i believe it's called diatom. red slime. i siphoned it out. make sure you get as much as possible. siphon it out again a few days later. if you see it come back siphon as good as possible again but end result after 2/3 times it was gone. i got it early on though.
how did the flame angel hold up in the 20? thought min tank requirement was 30?
i'm looking forward to a flame angel as teh primary resident for a tank so i'd like to see how it does in a smaller tank. hard to find a used big cube.
just put dumped in my water and FLOATED LIKE NO TOMORROW. crap! i'll have to take as much out as possible while still looking decent. i have no clue how i'll be doing this.
it's been curing for well over a week. i haven't even thought of when i'm going to actually start up my system again. i think all my corals are almost dead ;x might end up selling my system ;x
