    Nano Filtration

    Haha, well that depends on how much money you're trying to spend/not spend. :P If you have about 200$ to spend on a skimmer, you should wait for a member here named 'skimmy' to post... I'm sure he'll see this soon and recommend some crazy HOB skimmers. If you have about 100, I'd get an...

    10 gallon sps

    I'm referring to the black/blue plastic sheets that you can buy to tape the back of your tank to make the back black without spraying painting it. If you take that stuff and cut it to size, you can actually super glue it inside your tank to the outside of your overflow. This is what I did with...

    10 gallon sps

    I actually saw this on nano-reef... nice build you got there... I do however suggest that you paint that overflow or cover it with that black plastic vinyl to make it black.. haha but thats just me :)

    Nano Filtration

    With the type of corals you're planning to keep, I'd say that your two powerheads is fine in terms of flow. I honestly don't know what you mean by overkill... A canister filter is packed with filter floss and carbon and etc. But the main 'rating' that is given to those things is how well it...

    New 12"x12"x12" sps cube!!

    geez, okay well I'll just wait it out then. I was reading in different forums and everyone says its a slow grower. This chalice has huge sweeper tents. I was wondering what stung my setosa..

    New 12"x12"x12" sps cube!!

    Thanks guys, yeah you gotta document the growth, it makes waiting part of this hobby worth while. I was definitely happy that my setosa grew, I had some serious po4 issues that hindered growth for about a month and a half, but all is good now. I cant wait for everything to grow.. although my...

    Cleaner shrimp playing dead??Or just is

    Calibrating hydrometer with a refractometer?

    Calibrating hydrometer with a refractometer?

    I dont have a refractometer, but I do know the points 1.027 and how it equals 1.032, unfortunately without another point, I cannot create a gradient for the salinity.

    Calibrating hydrometer with a refractometer?

    So I discovered today that my hydrometer is phenomenally wrong. Mine reads 1.027/8 while a LFS's refractometer reads 1.032.... thats quite a big difference. :der: I was told that I could calibrate the hydrometer with a refractometer, how abouts would I do that? Would I basically make my own...

    Solana 34 with no skimmer?

    IMO, as long as you keep up with weekly water changes of 10-20%, and practice good husbandry, you could easily do a skimmerless 34. But I will have to agree with skimmy on this one, theres really no reason you shouldnt go without one unless something prohibits you from keeping one one your...

    New 12"x12"x12" sps cube!!

    URGENT: anyone in Udistrict have a good CA/ALK/PH test kits??

    So I noticed my corals acting up today and I was messing with my ca/alk/ph and then I noticed my fish was rapidly breathing. I'm frantically testing my water and my API test kit says my water is 11dKH and 480ppm ca. But the kit reads that the fresh mixed IO saltwater has a dKH of 11 and a ca...
