i could easily build it if i knew what i needed and where to get it :(

ok. i won't bother. but problems! i tried to install my 50/50 20 watt coralife bulbs in the new canopy - they don't fit! too long. now i'm screwed. how would you guys light this 16 inch wide 5 gallon? remember, i will have soft corals and i gotta have the actinic (50/50) lighting. btw docta...

i got a fixture today that will fit my 50/50 coralife bulbs. so back to the skimmer issue. i saw a rio nano skimmer for $58 at my LFS, has a filter section in it too. good idea or bad idea? i could run this unit or forget skimming altogether and just run a whisper 10 GAL HOB filter that i can...

thanks guys. the led lamps won't fit in my fixture. :(

do i need a skimmer? i think i recall for a tank this small. 7lbs of live rock and about 4 lbs live sand with a HOB filter with weekly 1 gallon water changes would be enough filtration. i've had great success with my 20 gallon reef, so now i want to try a 5. just some easy to keep corals...

i heard two different kinds of sea salt brands in the tank can cause trouble. any truth to this?

the mushroom came with rubble attached to the bottom, so there is something to put the glue on. i found these. is this the stuff you guys speak of? if i get one or the other will that do? i can't believe an adhesive like these from home depot is safe in a marine tank lol, but i guess it is

ty for the comments. yeah so the marineland i found at another store here, he wants $20.99! i want to attach one mushroom! i've been trying to find out where i can buy this "superglue gel" you guys keep talking about, i'll check home depot. the stuff in my first post after shipping and taxes...

http://oceanaquatics.com/store/product/670/Aquascape-Epoxy-/ LFS is sold out, from what i read this stuff can be applied in the water or am i mistaken? (i can't be taking my rocks out)

will do, ty Ace25. i'll have a chance to go this weekend. been so friggin busy lately. one of my lights burnt out after just one month, which is great. they are sending a new one tho. how long can my corals go with just an actinic bulb? and i was told that with my "current-usa" fixture, i HAVE...

thanks for the tip. i'll phone the store and see if they have this glue. :thm:

yeah the tentacle definitely aren't branchy, single and straight up. so can i rip the rubble off? do i need to, i put it on a rock after i cleaned the tank tofday and it's on the sand again. i have no bridal veil and i have no idea what glue to use.

and here is a shot of the underside of that ricordea/mushroom. skeleton or rubble?

i have frozen mysis shrimp. what's the best way? mash it in a bowl, suck up with syringe and blast the coral?

oh yes, lol about 2 minutes after i made my post i looked at it and thought, why not just immerse the anemone section in the boiling water? based on reading, the syringe maethod doesn't always work, putting that whole sucker under for a minute like you say is a guarantee. and the bubble alge...

i can't ty enough. i will heed your advice. tomorrow the tank is due for a water change, when in there, i will remove the small rock the aiptasia is attached to and boil it for 20 minutes. i can't see anything surviving that. the rock is only the size of a baseball and right on top so it would...

ty ace25! i really appreciate the help. from all of you. you've been giving me advice before i set this tank up. this is the 20G tank, (fake coral crap is gone). but you can see my skimmer output and powerhead (one jet across, one 45 degree down). i think about midway for the both corals...

here's a direct link to the rest of the images for bigger size. imageshack likes to make things that were once simple, complicated now. http://img7.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=img5552f.jpg ^^^^ today this toadstool has stayed this way for the first time. any idea why? ^^^ hard things can be...

very nice emg. do you add anything to the water supplements etc?

ok, but "super glue" what type of glue? surely a special one. what do i use a small piece of rubble for? i'll get some new pics of them, doesn't look like your frogspawn. ok, i might go that way. it definitely has some hard stuff underneath, but i'm scared to touch it for fear of killing it...
