Thanks! Do you have a pic of your 5 gal? Also, what bulbs are in your PAR38 and how many are there?
I started my cycle towards the end of last week by dropping a media bag of raw shrimp in the tank. Someone suggested leaving it in there for 3 days....
The PAR38 bulb is not over the tank right now. I agree the stock light is enough, but eventually I'd like to keep SPS and that light will most...
I have the skimmer to help with bioload because I'd like to have 2 fish in here. Depending on how the tank handles them I might add a 3rd. Just a...
Yes, the tank is in our basement on my desk... the room has central air and heat all controlled by a thermostat. My first tank was a 120g. and I...
I've been keeping a close eye on it and the evaporation isn't bad, because I have a lid on the DT. The fan only covers a small section on the back...
Just got my NUVO 8 last week! It passed the leak test. The pump is rated at max 95 GPH so I think I'll probably get about 50 GPH at best. I...

Need some new bulbs for my fixture but I'm not sure which way to go. My fixture houses 2 dual actinic 420/460 bulbs as well as 2 150W MH. I love...
It's probably just the leathers opening up and adjusting to the new tank... my toadstool was completely closed when I got it and after a few days it...

Awesome tank, what equipment do you run? (sump/fuge/lighting...etc)
If you don't mind getting a used tank try craiglist... if you want brand new I would get the tank and then build/buy a stand separate rather than...
+1.... a picture speaks a thousand words!
Those lights are awesome! Great setup, can't wait to see more progress!
That looks good IMO... you might not need the baffles on the fuge side though, you can probably get away with just having one baffle and let the...
you might be able to find a setup on craiglist for a decent price. I personally would recommend getting a "reef ready" tank from the start. Meaning...
That is an awesome fish though... maybe someday when I hit the lotto lol ;)
