What about the Nader of lighting LED? I sort of am leaning towards T5 because of cost both in initial outlay and in energy. Conservation to me is important but that makes the LED idea attractive. Anyone know of LED and T5 combo's out there? That would be extremely interesting IMO.

OK took a couple days for me to post them but here you go. The mushrooms I have couple semi loose ones are the striped ones they have attatched to little bits of rock or shell. Thanks for looking

Torn between the super job he did on the FW tank and being lazy. I have 24g and you have to be really strict on water changes, unless he plumbs a big skimmer that is a major consideration. Plus your scraping and testing and supplementing. Arrrgggg But for sure he can easily keep candy cane...

What great pictures. I mean the corals are nice too. ;)

The stand is really sweet...scary that you have to put water on top of it. Beats the crap out of anything you can buy that is for sure.

If it is blue green is it copper based? I know my dad used to bring home copper sulfate to treat tanks(he ran a lab many years ago). I would be careful in any case.

It is time to get a fish ;D

Wow that looks fantastic! I cannot believe how perfectly clean it looks, I know we all go for the clean look but that is unreal.

Found that above discription when I was looking for something. Not as cheap as some of the other dottybacks but it is #1. ;)

I have a bicolor pseudochromis and I have never seen a flatworm in my tank....nor have I have ever been able to keep a shrimp and all my hermit crabs run at the sight of him. Not exactly a friendly fish to be honest. But he will eat just about anything like that he can get.

Thanks mynd it means a lot to me. I will get a FT shot this weekend. I will take a couple of the mushrooms that I have too if you want them. At this point you need to get some GSP before it grows over the entire rock haha. Needless to say it is growing well.

That is all matter of opinion I guess....Finnex makes a really nice one with fuge in back. Red Sea is more expensive. Or some of the nanotuner custom jobs...I have no idea. I will get a full tank shot soon.

Thanks I am extremely interested in LED lighting also. Will have to check out the site you included in further detail. I know that there is one guy on the Manhattan Reef page that is semi-pro with LED lighting. You can check it out I cannot tell you the name but I know he is using mixing...

There are certainly challenges that you have with a nano tank that you might not with a regular say 55G plus size tank.

Hmmmm well my AP has two chambers go figure :-\. And it looks like the one in the pic. OK well check and see if you can close it off in any case I think it is better to skim the surface, if you keep the entire hight of the tank open for me it didn't work as well and the sponge trapped ammonia on me.

Super job on the molding!!!!! Like the landscaping too.

There were slats that slid into my AP so you could close off part of the water intake to the back chambers. Black flat pieces of plastic that slid into groves. I think your ammonia should come down naturally as the bacterias grow and your rock becomes "alive" that is basically what they are...

I don't care what area we are in personally so long as we have our own group. I would guess the perception of Nano tanks has changed from special group to more common hobbiest.

Yes sure. First close off all but the top slat of your overflow. This will get the water coming into the top only and allows for better surface skimming. Then in the chamber I would run some combination of filter medium, carbon, and a phos remover. What I did was built a platform out of egg...
