    o no as i said earlier, i just wanted something as a replacement. no new lighting you know. either the 20 or the bio-cube. i would love to get that 55 or 40 but i just dont have the money to buy 200-300 dollar lighting.

    ya nano reefer, as i said... if i get the biocube, it comes with light (strong like i have), filter, and everything!! i am leaning towards that. like when you are saying to lesson the gallons cause the smaller, the less light needed and everything and in turn, less everything, but i have everything u know. should i buy some mighty putty? would that do the trick?

    quick question. i just did one of the water changes you said and re-arranged the rocks a little and repositioned my xenia and it looks retarded. like literally. on some of them the bottom is fat and the pulsing arms part is just weird. it just looks really wrong. what wrong with it? i did the water change and after like 3 hours it looked fine. then i changed the rocks and it and now it looks horrible. if anything, where i put it has more water flow so thats not the problem. quick?

    when you moved the rocks you probably stirred up some detritus or debris that could have bothered him, he will adjust.

    btw which biocube are you leaning towards? got a link to it?

    Don't worry. If you disturb it, it will retract. Corals, in general, are like that. Your zoas will close up also if you disturb them.

    And on that biocube. If it gives you the option to upgrade to T5s and you have the money, consider it. The PCs it comes with are not all that powerful. I know. I have PCs. I am not overly impressed with them.

    I wouldn't use a oceanic biocube if you gave it to me now to many issues and mod's required for them to be a decent nano, you may want to look at the jbj or the nanotuners custom tanks
