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.
The bio balls and ceramic rings are do not have the ability to host the anaerobic bacteria that convert the nitrites and nitrates. Live rock is porous enough to host the bacteria within the rock. The bacteria converts the baddies to nitrogen gas that just disipates.
Korilia is great I have a...
This is from their waterproof strip section. I wonder what wavelength they are? Wonder if they have any other waterproof products? I have LED for my fuge but they eventually burn out. Waterproof is pretty important to in the back of the AP.
The membership it really worth it agree 100%!!!!!
But I personally just go with the salt water from Trop. I go pick up my salt water put the heater in and I am good to go. Lazy arse obviously but effort for 5 gallons and my time at this point it is not worth it. If I get a 90-120 gallon tank...
OK sounds like you are moving along. Good job on the RO. By the way you didn't mention your use or non use of the pesky ceramic rings and bio balls they give you with the AP. Ditch them ASAP. Mynd and I both have somewhat similar mods on our tanks take a look. Almost all the Nano guys have some...
Please let us know the end result. I can imagine that becoming a sponsor would be an incredibly helpful thing for a local company. I plan on doing an upgrade and would rather pay a local company then an Italian or Canadian one if I could get a high quality product. As Harry mentioned his first...
I agree you have to switch to RO water. ASAP. I would do very diligent water changes to help clean out the crap.
I had one early bad experience about the same time in my tank life as you, I killed a GBTA :-[ :'(. It roamed around and finally it died. You did the right thing by asking questions...
I too like the look and want my next(better be final or I will be hung) tank to be rimless.
Here is an option for you.

Not cheap or the Elos tanks are super too.
You are good to go...with the clam that close it should hardly matter, the bulbs are new so you are getting max out of them at the moment. Sounds like you have a great handle on all the cubist mods. Stay involved and get us some pics.
If you have the stock lights at the LPS should be fine mine are doing well with stock 24G AP so same CP lights more or less. The clam I guess try to get it up as close to the light as possible I would think it should be OK...you have a timer for the lights right?
Thanks guys...Tank is looking very nice rgarofalo..had to go back and check it out since you and I have pretty similar settups and livestock. Think that seals the idea. :)
So Reeftopia has the Atlantic Pygmy Angel on their site. I have thought about getting one, I understand they are cautiously reef safe. Does anyone have one? Has anyone purchased one from Reeftopia? Problems? This would be my third and last fish in my tank. Pseudocromis, clown and this one. Have...
