    Pics of my stacked 30g & 5.5g nanos

    Tank watching seems to be this cat (ms Kitty's) favorite past time. I keep a shelf clear for her beside my planted tank too and she goes from one tank to the other. I'm not sure which she likes better. Tanks looking great Blinky, umm you'll have to rent another apartment and set up your...

    My Gorgonian

    You can step up water changes to reduce cyano, just keep salinity stable and match it to tank water to pevent shock. Gluing is a good idea and put him in good current too. circulation is the answer to cyano and reducing nutrient levels in the water too. Stir up the sand bed once a day to make...

    Is it a reef yet?

    Hi: The tang is doing great as he is the alpha fish and claims his world as his alone lol and that's how it will stay. I'm waiting on an overflow and will set up a sump before adding expensive corals. (Plumbing 101 learning fast)I'd like the water quality to be nicer before investing more $$$...

    I buy r/o d/i from a machine at the grocery store. 18 litre bottle cost me 2.99 to refill. Check with your drugstore, they usually have distilled on the shelves. You can buy "poly filter" amonia, nitrate, phosphate and carbon 'foam' pads made buy Aquadyne, and cut it to fit your filter...

    Looks very nice. I'd get a little aquaclear hob filter 200, put in a phosphate remover pouch and/or carbon and you should see a difference in a few days.

    I have about 40 pounds of fiji and 25 of base rock that's now live rock. I'm considering adding more base rock to boost the height of the heap. I plan on adding a better skimmer and a hang on fuge before adding any moreoccupants. :)

    Cyno Cyno everywhere!

    For me the answer was: increasing water changes and increasing flow equals NO CYANO! I'm a poet don't cha knowit?

    Its a standard 65 18 wide and 36 long 24 tall. Tall makes lighting more of an issue. I'm considering putting in a deep sand bed to build everything up higher with more rock. I shoulda done it from the start...sigh!

    The official 65g FOWLR diary thread

    Overfeeding and tap water...oooooooolala. Mr. Cyano commeth. I read our water report, in montreal, low nitrate, low phosphate, but no measurements for molecular containants like petroleum by product etc. TDS 125? wow what is in there? I overfeed and use only r/o d/i and have been having...

    Is it a reef yet?

    Its slow going. 65 gallon needs better filtration and maybe I'll look into a remora pro for a skimmer and a hang on back refuge before I stock anything else. I find water quality issues are more apparent in the bigger tank than in the smaller 30g I had up before. I've got 2 clowns in there, a...
