Few More Shots:

LOL! Yeah, I was thinking of calling TAPS! LOL! The little bugger went zipping by as I took the picture. I put 5 little blue green chromis in the tank, they are like little annoying puppies. I can't get anywhere near the tank without them darting around in front of me, or around my hand looking...

I personally can attest to the durability and wider flow path of the hydor koralia over the tunze. I had a nano stream quit on me. Well, first one of the tabs that holds it to the magnet mount broke off, then it just quit alltogether. I installed the hydor only a couple of months after the...

Gotta be quicka ma brutha! 8)

Where are you located? Aquarium Center in Blackwood sells them, but I don't know if that is too far for you or not.

Thanks, Rich! Any idea on the curly q? Friend or foe? It's front and center if I need to get rid of it. I never saw it before, it must have been under a rock facing the back of the tank. When I had to pull the rocks on the left side to get the gorilla crab out, and restacked them (which we all...

Well, I am on my way to restocking the 90 since the fiasco of the midnight marauder. Here a couple of shots (excuse the quality, this is my wife's little panasonic lumix canera) Ok, now someone tell me if this is friend or foe. I've actually seen websites selling these things...

I kept a crocea under T5's that kept working it's way back towards the sand. Was happy and healthy for about 6 months or so before the midnight marauder (gorilla grab) destroyed him one night. I didn't have any difficulty with him at all. I would agree with Jrod on the size, though. If you go...

Thanks Twan, I'll check that out when I get home. John, yeah I was thinking about a clown or two. probably going to stay away from the gobies/blennies because of the jaw fish. although I did read that jawfish sometimes do better in small colonies. that could be interesting too.

Thanks John. Yeah, I definitely want to keep some movement and interest in the tank. If the alien eyed little redecorator would stop moving my rocks around, he'd be cool. The little one likes to watch him jump out of the rocks and then pop back in.

LOL! Great story! My oldest daughter (now 17) shared her cookies with my oscar when she was about 3. Apparently, Oscars like animal crackers! That's the only scary thing about the nano. My two year old can reach that, it's down low, but she can't get to the 90 or the 29. She loves to sit on the...

Ok nano experts, help a brother out here. I have an eclipse system 12 that I just set up about a week ago. So far, it is stock. I painted the back black so I wouldn't have to deal with backdrops. Right now it has about a 3" sand bad (mostly live sand from my already established 90 gallon)...

Welcome aboard! Wow, I'd say a 150 is a NICE place to start! LOL! Enjoy the ride! There are alot of great people here!

Good points, Dave. I didn't think about swapping the bulbs.

I don't test for copper because I don't add the fish store water to my tank. I don't add ANYONE's water to my tank for that matter. :) As for salinity change? Yeah, I'm sure they do experience changes in salinity in "the wild", but how long has it been since they have been "in the wild"? I do...

Thanks for the offer Candi, but I think I'll pass! ;) LOL! After the nightmare I went through with the first one, I don't think I'd want to intentionally bring a second one into ANY of my systems!

Actually, I've found over the years with all fish, just feed the opposite end of the tank and then turn the lights out. Works like a charm, and I don't have to scrape tape off my glass. But that's just my humble experience.

Thanks Phyl. You gotta add a little levity to a situation like that. I was still feeling kinda cruddy about it today (I know, wuss, feeling sad for an evil little red eyed black crab with racing stripes, but hey, you know...) so I took a drive after work to console myself. My wife called my...

Yeah, definitely keep me posted on how you go about and what success you had. I know I will be adding another tank eventually (a longer, wider, lower tank for coral prop), so I am sure I will need to remove something unwanted from the rock again. I prefer not to kill, after all, it wasn't the...

I've never used the screen method, but I think what they are refering to is plastic light difuser (egg-crate) that you get at lowes or home depot. If you have a dremel, it is super easy to cut to fit the lip of the tank. Someone else can chime in, but I think the screen method of difusing the...
