    Moonlights!

    I have a couple of those autolumination LEDs in my hood - I just hooked it up to a PS as stated and now I have moonlights! They flouresce(sp?) the GSP quite well.

    Show me your full tank shots

    My 20H to 10g mantis/softy transition for those who stay out of the nano-forum ;). After my battle with aiptasia I'm going to start adding corals again.

    Nano Pics

    Nice tanks everyone! Here's what my 10gallon looks like at the moment. I'm going to slowly start adding corals again after killing off the aiptasia soon. I'm liking the 10g much better than the 20H - so much easier to maintain and poke around in. Plus its a lot easier to observe the mantis...

    Small actinic?

    The tank size? It is a 10gallon nano. That helio sounds interesting, as does the shoplight method... thanks for the suggestions.

    Small actinic?

    I've always like the look of corals flourescing under just actinic lighting, but I have a quad tube with no option of just turning one color or the other on. I was just wondering if there is a small cheap light fixture out there that I can fit with just an actinic bulb so I might do this as...

    Using a bug bomb

    you could get some battery powered pumps if you really wanted to keep it covered that long.

    5G nano questions

    Are these "sun polyps" some kind of zoo/palythoa or the Tubastrea? Sun coral has to be target fed every day I hear.

    feeding techniques?

    Well it damn near attacked a shrimp piece off the stick today, so I guess that problem is solved. I have looked into supplementing with live hard-shelled food, which was the primary reason for my addition of hermits. However, it totally ignores them. I know it eats snails, as it nearly...

    feeding techniques?

    Perhaps i should just totally wean if off the mysids. It really likes it though, and neglects the shrimp chunks most of the time. It wont touch the hermits in the tank either. Some snails, perhaps...?

    feeding techniques?

    Need some tips on how to administer different types of food to my mantis. When its big meaty things like chunks of shrimp its simple enough, i just skewer onto a.. skewer and feed. When I try to feed krill/mysids, they are too soft/small to skewer onto a stick. Ive just kinda dumped them in so...

    Joes Juice Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Be ready to kill the ones that survive (some ALWAYS seem to) and I would recommend not letting it stuff sit on corraline too long, it bleached in my tank.

    New aquascape/mantis pics [large pics]

    I havnt been able to get a clear sideshot yet. Dr Roy @ Reefcentral thinks it may be a Neogonodactylus wennerae or N. bredini. It probably is - it came out of Florida rock. I'll get a better pic soon. Abissus, if you don't want a larger specialty variety, people get them all the time in...

    New aquascape/mantis pics [large pics]

    hehe it was the only time I've seen it do the defensive posture, had to get a good snap of the telsons while I had the chance. It struck my feeding stick a good number of times and its a pretty solid whack - I really hope it leaves the glass alone!

    Let's Talk About ~Aquascaping~

    My tank is small and high (20H) so I initially just loaded rocks into there in a large towerish formation. I later realized that having just a few pieces of large LR was a bad idea compared to having many pieces of smaller rock. I recently took out all of my rock and smashed the larger pieces...
