This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Re: Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube

She is thinking of a small fish but she's in no rush to add that much Bio-load to a 6g tank. Right now she's "all about the corals" which I am liking

She's looking for a really cool looking leather or colt coral or something "meaty" like that to go on the rock that's diagonal on the right. Something to add mass there to "balance" the look of the tank. We're just waiting for the "Right" coral to come along that doesn't require a LOT of light or heavy feeding. We want this tank to be as easy as possible

i need to get some new pics of it.

Thanks for looking

Re: Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube

Tank is looking great, Julie (Allen)! I just love frogspawn. Too bad my current tank plan won't accommodate it. I really do need another tank... LPS are calling my name.

I'd love to have Julie posting here, Allen!

JULIE! JULIE!! JULIE!!! Let's have JULIE!!!!

Re: Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube

I'm thinking there should be more "beads" on the nepthea but I've seen the 6-line EYEING it up and getting a quick NIP in there once in a while...

Re: Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube

Ok here are some updated pics from last night.

You'll see a new plate coral (Way cool I'm jealous) and then a "Tree" type of coral that I honestly don't know the name of... anyone know?



So what IS this called?












and an updated FTS
