    Newbies guide to the nano reef

    Fantastic. Can't wait. Being a newbie to saltwater tanks, I'm curious to see what mistakes I've already made with my 26 gal. flat back hex Uniquarium, lol. Perhaps get some insight on what to expect with my 'nano' and it's inhabitants in the future.

    Little white spots...Coraline?

    K, thanks. Kind of what I was thinking. Anyone know what color it's going to be? (kidding) But seriously, any clues to how long it takes to color up? Been 2 days, and still looks like a fried egg. Not that I'm impatient, or anything.

    Little white spots...Coraline?

    I added some of Garfs Grunge a couple of weeks ago, and now have a bunch of little white spots appearing all over the place. Is this possibly coraline algae? When looking at them thru a 5x magnifying glass, they look like a 1 mm egg in the bottom of a frying pan. If this is coraline, when...

    Pruning/fragging a sun coral...ok or no?

    Thanks for the helpful suggestions...seems we're over the stress of figuring out what will/won't work. The feeding hat I made was pretty ineffecient, and was raising nitrates very fast. Used our blender to mix silversides, mysis and squid. Put 1 tablespoon of the goop into each ice cube space...

    Garf's Grunge question..

    According to the website, the Grunge Plus has (what looks like) larger shells and gravel, with serpent stars, sponges, scud shrimp, sand-stirring worms and coraling algae. (and copepods, I assume) They also have a Grunge Lite. From what I can tell, it's more of a mud for your refugium or mud...

    Garf's Grunge question..

    Didn't know which forum to post this, but... I got 3 lbs. of Graf's Grunge a few weeks ago and added it to my 26 gal. Uniquarium, and it sure is teeming with 'pods and coraline. I am wanting to know how deep I should mix the rocks and shells with my 2 1/2" of 'live sand'? (mixed reef) I've...

    Pruning/fragging a sun coral...ok or no?

    Will give it a go this evening, thanks. Made one last nite, but I used a 1/2 gal juice container and it was a about 1" too small. Food just slipped under the plastic. Made one out of 2 liter bottle and dog chewed that one up. (bad chihuahua, lol) Am trying to finish another 2 liter soda to...

    Aragocrete want your opinions\comments

    How about vermiculite or perlite? Was out in my garden shed today thinking about the agrocrete mix and how one would go about making it a bit lighter, and more porous. Then I came across my bags of vermiculite and perlite. Would either one or a combination of both of these do any good? Altho...

    Pruning/fragging a sun coral...ok or no?

    I purchased a large (6" colony) sun coral, tubestrea I beleive, yesterday for around $15.00 along with a few other corals from a reefer that is having to move. Most of the cluster looks great, polyp extention and feeding response looks good...with the exception of two small 'life challenged'...

    Live Rock Saturation?

    Perhaps the algae spores hitch a ride in our salt mix? In our live sand? Speaking of which, has anyone ever cooked thier LS? If so, what kind of LS and how did it turn out? If not...how come? (Am I wandering off-topic? If so...sorry)

    Live Rock Saturation?

    Hi everyone. Sorry to add to this discussion at this late point, but am curious... First off, I'm not a marine biologist, and have no overtly practical experience with marine ecosystems, or microbacteriological studies. Doctor-talk and Latin also escape me. But... Do the any of the bacteria...
