thanks for replying cheeks69. anybody else have any experience??

i was thinking about buying a striped bristletooth (Ctenochaetus striatus) for my tank. i read on the "so you want a tang" thread that some tangs need sand to digest thier food. is this true for this type of bristletooth becuase i only have crushed coral? anyone have any experience with this or...

Well, I want to build and sump tank with refugium in it to replace my wet/dry filter. I was originally going to do it in a 20L(30x12x12) tank but it was too long and wouldnt slide into my stand. I wanted to do a basic desisn with three zones, Protein Skimmer->Refugium->Return pump..all of them...

lcstorc how do you go about having them share water?

this is the white algea..

oh wow that is really nice dobejazz. i cannot decide whether I should get one or not. i am scared that it will be harder to maintain than a larger one. i think i might just wait and buy like a 40 gallon later. i already have a 72 and i have found this hobby to become very addicting. :-)

dobejazz is that the only type of modification you had to make on it? what do you have in your nanocube?

thanks ill try to get a pic tonight although i havent mastered the art of taking pictures of my tank unfortunatley

I am quite new at this hobby and have two questions. My tank has been up and running for only about 7 weeks now. Recently though I have noticed white algea appearing in my tank. In one spot it seems like it is overtaking my purple algea. I was wondering what this means? If it is bad or if it is...

Which of these three small tanks are the best? if other than please name what kind. thanks

how do u tell the difference between aptasia and hydroids. they look very similar to me. and are both harmful to the aquarium?

i probably sound like a newbie but what is an aiptasia? (i just started a saltwater tank 2 weeks ago)
