OK...you said a couple of code words and had a basic understanding so I didn't know how new you were. A good first step would be to read the 3 steps...
I don't know what coquina sand is but rinse it very well with some bleach and water, then rinse many times with straight freshwater and maybe some...
Most herbivorous fish won't fit in a 14g nano. You can add snails and optionally some crabs. I assumed that you intended to stock these animals....
With nano tanks, I like to stay conservative on the stocking levels. I wouldn't add a pair of either. The clown goby (not a clownfish) likes to...
If you were going with 20k's, I would go with all 400's. However, 14k's have a LOT more PAR than the 20k's and 2 250's would be acceptable IMO....

The price is fairly reasonable IMO. I'm not sure I like the look of the reflector in the picture. Do they offer different reflectors? Something...

Clean with white vinegar and water. Rinse very well. As far as bulbs go, you could technically go as low as 5500K but you won't like the look of...
Welcome to 3Reef!!! You can most certainly use a fish tank that was used previously as freshwater as long as it is cleaned properly. Regarding...
Ok....Here's a little more detail. The following quotes are from: Halimeda: The Cactus Algae by Kirby Adams - Reefkeeping.com These...
Tom, First off....WELCOME TO 3REEF!!! Your instincts are right. BIG water change. Both of the above issues were caused by the sporulation...
;D :) ;D EDIT: I just noticed that my 1,000th post was making fun of Dr. Ron. Yes virginia, there is a santa clause
I don't know squat about freshwater so someone else will have to come along and help you. I just wanted to say, "Welcome to 3REEF!!!"
I've never seen one of those before....cool!!!!
AWESOME JOB JIM!!! Karma to you.
