    I will get my own kits eventually but its $128 for the Elos test kits just for what they tested. So I plan to wait a little bit on them. As for the nitrate, I was under the impression that 1 and below was fine so haven't researched ways to reduce it yet.

    Thanks! From my understanding there are different types and these appear to be the small ones which don't get very big. How large? No idea but when they were given to me it was understood what kind of tank they were going in so I can only assume they would be fine in my nano =). I'll be testing...

    Here are pics I've taken. The first ones are when I first put the live rock in and was waiting on UPS to deliver the dry rock. The brittle stars came out like crazy to their new home and even started spawning. Was crazy to see! The blue thing is a soft coral called a Blue Xenia. I don't know...

    Due to last minute things happening I wasn't able to buy the live rock or sand. I do, however, have some dry rock coming in on Friday and with that paycheck I should be able to get the sand. I was wondering if anyone has just a couple pounds of live rock that I could buy for cheap to help seed...

    I just got the tank yesterday and went with the 2 lights. They fit and think it looks good not to mention they put out some serious light. I'll be getting some live rock/land tomorrow and will take some pics.

    Will do but will probably be about 6 months or more since I don't even have a tank yet. Talking to Clear Fabrications about a custom tank with that fathers day sale. Thinking it might still be put of my price range even with a discount but we'll see.

    There are different methods and that is one of them. You would have a tank of multiple starfish and then just cut off a limb when you wanted to feed the shrimp. Rotate which one gives up a limb while the others regenerate the lost limbs. I won't be doing that method though. I will either just...

    They only eat starfish. They prefer live ones and seem to like chocolate starfish the best but will eat other ones as well but can be picky I guess. There have been some people that claim they sometimes will eat urchins but rare. http://www.chucksaddiction.com/ is the best site to learn about them.

    Well went to BRA today for the fist time and the woman there told me about CAD Lights Aquariums. So now I'm looking at this 12 gallon which is less than half the price of the 16 Nuvo I was planning to get. Anyone know how their tank quality is? You can click on the tank to view it on CAD...

    Hehe, yeah I have my phone for pictures and even will be starting a blog as a way to document the entire process and be able to keep track of all the water tests and whatnot in case I even need to look back and compare. The tank comes with 2 clip on 8 watt Skkye Light LEDs. Some people say it...

    So on June 8th I hope to be ordering my tank which will be a Nuvo 16 by Innovative Marine. Compared to most of the other AIO tanks I felt this one is the best from what I have read. I was debating between the 8 gallon cube or the 16 gallon but with the livestock I want the 16 would be better...
