Hi Jason, Don't know if this will help, but when I had a nano tank I would browse: Nano-Reef.com Forums. I do know people have done som AMAZING...
Hi Again, So, we're on a budget but limited by space......If I had to do it all over again I'd probably also go with T5s. They run cooler than MH...
I also used some in my sump as a frag shelf.
Hi, Sorry to hear about your algae bloom. I've known people who have completely ditched their tanks due to algae, so I'm hoping you have more...
Hi Euthyphro, Going slow in cycling is by far the best way. I can't empasize enough how starting off on a good foot will help you in the future. I...
Hi, mind if I add something? Unless you are using Oolite or othe fine sands I suggest new users actually stir their coral for the first week or so...
The way I look at it is there is no "mud" near a reef so why should we need it. Mud has the potential to break down nitrates into less harmful...
Is it just me or has anyone noticed the three people suggesting T5s don't use them? :) Nemo, I'd still like to hear about your tank and what your...

I'll add to that. Yes, rebleach them. Just scrub them and let them sit in the sun. THEN, get yourself some Reef Builder from Kent Marine or...
I third or fourth the statement that a bistle worm in your sump/fuge is at least benign if not good. I like to keep a cleaner or two in my fuge....
Marhaban. I hope my Arabic is correct. I'm still learning.
Let me second what JTReef said. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. HOWEVER, from personal experience, it is nice to have access to a temporary sump....
Hi, My experience whith cheato is you CAN add it before cycling if you water is stable. BUT, you won't see much growth and could lose some...
