I just added a couple UV and 1 red LED to my fixture. The red is right above my crocea and it has since hid itself under a ledge. Could 1 red be too much? It's running at 650 mah, maybe that's too much?

I picked up an Oceanic 33G cube and I've decided to take the plunge and drill the tank. After much research I've decided to go with a "Herbie" Style drain. What I can't find is the best place to drill the holes. How does this setup sound? 10" Box, Holes 2" from the top with drains 8" apart...

Everything has been going very smooth in my 20 gallon slice of the ocean until today. My lights turned on to flatworms covering my glass. [smilie=crying.gif] Is flatworm exit the way to go?

Alright I am leaving town for 9 days next Monday and decided to stop messing with DIY ATO's and just buy the JBJ ATO. I did some research and many people recommended the Tom's Lifter for a pump. I got everything setup and all is well accept the pump will not start on it's own. The last two days...

Copied this from nano-reef.com Hello all, my name is Keith Cardin. I was the contractor who built the nano skimmers for Sapphire Aquatics. When he went out of bussiness I was left with alot of material and all the jigs to build these units. Plus a good deal of money that he owed me. If there is...

One of my hermit crabs is on a mad rampage attacking my other snails and hermit crabs. I am guessing he wants a new shell (even though he is attacking smaller crabs too). Where is a good place to pick up some extra homes? Thanks, M@

Hi All, Just making a quick post to say hello. I recently moved to Texas (September) and have been wanting to build a nano for a while. I'm having a new house built that will be done in early February so I figure what better time to built a setup than with a new house! Right now I am just...
