    Tunze 9006 on a nano

    Will this be too overkill for my nano? I have a 30 gallon (actual water volume) that is SPS dominated with a few LPS. I currently have three fish (clown x2 and a six line) and I'm thinking about getting one more fish if I get a bigger skimmer. The system has a fuge, GFO reactor, and a...

    Need help understanding calcium reactors

    Well the title says it all. I'm not entirely sure how calcium reactors work, I've read several articles on them and still don't completely understand. My main questions are: Does the calcium reactor just add the set amount of Ca per day or does it adjust to maintain set levels? Do you have to...

    Echinata turning white

    Well I picked up a nice size piece of ORA hawkin's echinata and its turning white. Its in my 24 gallon SPS nano. I placed it at the top of my rock work because the sand bed is occupied with some scolys and I don't want it to get stung. I believe its turning white because of the tank...

    Well my sexy shrimp spawned last night and I was able to catch the larvae using airline tubing and a light. They are now in a five gallon tank inside a 10 gallon tank. (10 gallon is filled with tap water and a heater to keep the temp stable) This kind of caught me off guard and I didn't have...

    ORA dragonets

    Well I would like to get one of these little guys for my 24 gallon but it would, of corse, need to readily accept prepared foods. The only thing holding me back besides the fact that no LFS around me has them is that I've read some reports about them refusing prepared foods once in the...
