Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
cowries, large hermit crabs (not reef safe...but fowlr safe) and serpent stars to mop up the food. Otherwise the best cleaner is the mirror (as you in yourself!) LOL.
a 5.5 gallon tank could probably house 30 new born clownfish fry easy. LOL. But going fishless is probably the best way unless you only keep them when they are small/young and replace as they get older.
i love it...i love the thread, i love how you post a TON of pics and I love the entire area set up.
How big do you estimate those clowns are? They look about the size I would sell mine when I was breeding them. What'd they charge you $10 a pop?
how many puffers do you have in there? and...
Not sure if this was posted previously. Anyways - if you click on closed captions, it provides the common names on the fish/inverts. However it's a bit fast - so I had to watch it twice (once with the closed captions and once without). Make sure you to catch it in HD.

omg i would llllllllllllllllooooooooooooooove a copperband but as I have personally been responsible for the demise of 3, i will have to pass. So sad, but unfortunately my latest tang is king of the tank and will chase/kill any new fish (including my last copperband).
kyle!....and thanks xavier!!!!
Cool tank! i wish my tank looked that good after a year.
That looks like a really big hermit crab - keep an eye on that guy as I thought the bigger they are - the less reef safe they are.
tagging along...
what kind of lighting and how did you set up that rail behind it? I like!
Btw are you sure those angry birds are reef safe? they look awfully angry. HAHAAH!
there's a group buy coming up and you could get a 1/15 chiller to help stabilize the temp on a 29. Or if the 29 doesn't have a top - add a fan to help keep the temps lower. SH do not need special light so if you can avoid MH or similar heat emitting lamps - even better.
i use reef crystals. frankly my tank is still nowhere near what jersey wendy's was when she used RC. Most likely it has more to do with an individual's husbandry skills, and less to do with the salt brand.
I have a MRC model (beckett type) - it does the same thing. heck mine cuts out as soon as I feed pe mysis. As long as it comes back on as usual - it's fine.
i wish my kids would help...all they want to do is build a fort on the front lawn and then launch snow balls at the neighbor kids. I teach them well...:grin:
Awesome NBA commercial with a song that I think is great. With so many hall of fame players, I was impressed that the NBA chose to include one NJ Net (who died in a terrible car accident). The chest bump between ewing and stat was photoshopped perfectly. Kobe Bryant and Magic johnson taking...
LMAO.
uh tony - you are so rude, i mean he is keeping cyano and hair algae alive. Sheesh. LMAO! tony got you good mark!
seriously but back on this topic - i don't have much hope for the worm.
@brandonsreef - thanks! what a cool looking tank jim. A blue devil damsel? you are a man who likes risks I see...hahahaha.
nice clam too. what kind of lights are you running? but i digress...great tank. very different from the usual pile o rocks.
a nano tank is nice.
a bar in the garage is nicer! hahaha
welcome and glad you stopped in on this board. Hope we can be as helpful as the guys on nano-reef! Although if it's a contest in sarcasm/humor - we would undoubtedly win! LOL.
The amt depends on the method of dosage (reactor or not) and also how much your tank is consuming the stuff. A reactor dedicated to kalk will require slightly less since it will help prevent gas/exchange with the environment while mixing. If you are dropping kalk direct into the ATO then some...
