You might want to look into getting two powerheads, that way you can go any route you want. We have 2 korlia #2s and love them on our 30g cube.

Those are some beautiful acans. Did you keep the stock light in the tank or upgrade?

I posted this in my nano thread but I am so damn proud of my cell phone I had to post it here as well.

Hola amigos I know it has been awhile since I rapped at you, but things have been getting pretty hairy around here, literally. I was fighting a large outbreak of hair algae in the 12 and then got super busy at work so it was more of a maintenance job than actually trying to solve the problem. At...

How is the flow? My fiancee was having trouble with some LPS receding but we moved the powerheads and everything is fine now.

Glad to see he is doing so well.

How is the little guy doing? I have raised baby birds (wild and captive-bred) successfully using Zupreem (Embrace) and Lafbers (Nutri-Start) formulas made specifically for them, fed with a syringe. Four babies successfuly raised (1 conure, 1 cockatiel, 1 pidgen, 1 bluejay), no fatalities. Good luck!

There is also a nice dog beach in Manasquan at the cove. It is a dedicated dog beach so you don't have to be out of there early.

I figured as much, thank you both for the replies. You know what they say, there are no stupid questions just stupid people. :)

Random maybe stupid question: I put a small zoo colony on a piece of live rock (about 20 polyps) which has now grown to over a 100 polyps and takes up a few square inches of the live rock. I know live rock hosts bacteria to help in filtration and the more surface area the better. My question is...

So far so good with the Remora. It was a bit loud for the first few weeks and did produce micro bubbles. However, after about 3 weeks or so that all went away. We have the tank in our living room not the bedroom so I can understand how loud that can be. We have to empty the cup every other day...

The skimmer is just a HOB by Remora, and the fuge is also HOB. I will try and get a pic up of the back of the tank that will show two different units.

That is quite an aggressive stocking plan. Are you looking to move up to a bigger tank soon?

Yes it is a hawkfish. I know they are supposed to go after shrimp. So far so good and he has been in there about 3-4 months. It probably helps that both cleaner shrimp are bigger than the fish. We are taking the shrimp out anyway until we catch the mantis that is stalking the tank.

The Picasso clowns have taken quite a liking to the frogspawn. We will have to get them an anemone soon.

Some new pics All the pointy growth on the birdsnest are new. The thing is just growing like that and we could not be happier: Our goby of the the pistol shrimp/goby pair made their home up front now (sorry for the streaks just had to take the pic then):

New pic of friends

You have a much bigger tank than we had when we had the coral banded so you might be ok. Ours started with the aggressive posturing and then ate six shrimp and a cleaner goby. I know people who have kept them just fine in bigger tanks, so i don't want to scare you. If your shrimp start to vanish...

So I found the article now that I am home and will be quoting form that. He has a 50 g display and 24g sump with 8.5 pounds of live rock for the whole system. He does have a live sand bed but it does not look deep. He has 100 different types of coral, sps mostly, and 40 fish, mostly small. He...

I agree with phyl a blenny or goby/pistol shrimp should be fine. The shrimp you have to keep your eye on is the coral banded. Once he started molting and getting bigger, he ate all of our other shrimp.
