Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I think the filter could be adapted for a fuge. It is pretty good sized. Or you can find a HOB fuge to replace it. Just a possiblity if you want to DIY it.
I have heard good things about the Octopus skimmers but have not had one.
Phil is right even if you skim you need to do water changes. You do export waste though when you do water changes, get a turkey baster and blast the rocks this will stir up the water, this will get more waste out of your...
I would keep the beef on the grill and out of the SW tank ;).
You can give it food about the size of it's mouth I believe is rule of thumb. I like to have my Koralia at the surface to get good water movement. Your tank eventually could handle a couple of them.
HOB refugium is a great idea, I...
For a 16 gallon tank water changes done religiously will probably do it.
Little cheap skimmers are generally worthless...don't buy a nano fission skimmer for instance (learn from my mistake).
There are some other solutions. HOB skimmers and refugiums that you might consider. Some depends on if...
Wow that has to scare the crap outa everyone. Yeah you have to hope it was a honest mistake not some action of a pissed off fellow employee. I wouldn't even want to think that someone would do that intentionally.
Phil is probably right....I think most folks go with the G3 if they have a tank in your size range.....plus you will have some pretty big polluters too.
The Elos tanks are really sweet, but not exactly the same as all in one.
Not sure why you are wanting to downgrade(I upgraded and it is a whole different ballgame) I could see using my nano again for say a species tank but as a reef tank not really. Have you had a nano before and want to go...
I bought my refugium here.

It is working great. I will post some pictures with everything going now. ASAP. I need to update some pictures. There are some pics empty in my thread. BTW I bought the sump without skimmer or light...
I had it in the back of my AquaPod with egg crate. Some would occasionally jam up the return pump. I put it in with my QT fish...and well my naso tang made a snack out of it in a day. ;D. I have seen it in a soap dish, in the back chamber, in a HOB filter, and even a canister filter that the guy...
You don't really have to worry about calc and mag either with a fish only tank. T5 are good less heat then cheaper CP..if you handy you could ask Bill about VHO given the length of the tank I bet he could make some great recomendations. Return pump depends on what if it is to be in sump or external.
Re: Here's my 120
Holy Smokes :o you need to save one of those for the POM contest they are really fantastic. I have to get those onto my computer at work.
Hey we are in the same boat then almost exactly. :) I didn't put any snails in but I threw one hitchiker crab and some good live rock for pods and whatnot. Also have some small brittle stars. I thought about adding some mangroves too let me know if you do.

Hey fish looks good ...but panmanmatt is 100% right the starfish is not reef safe....try to take it back and get a serpent starfish or pay a little more and get a blue linka. Those are considered reef safe. I have a serpent starfish from a recent group buy and I have to say it is really...
