I don't know what you've seen but the oyster feast looks like semen its about as fine as I've seen, I put a few drops on a high rock and my arrow crab ate it like candy before it desepated into the water that must be when some use the controllers to turn off pumps for spot feeding stuff like...

I think it will be alright there they might prefer low light. Will you be alright though?

All of my nass' have shells about an inch long in fiji pink sand the superfine stuff maybe that helps them pop but the guy bagged one empty shell when I got home it was obvious under the lights so when I took it back I got more they have special pricing at the LFS 10 for 20. My abalones are tiny...

If you can't reach it now maybe you can point one of the power heads closer to it's foot to get it to detach without harming it.

Has anyone been able to keep scallops alive, If so what's your trick?

they leg should grow back if it has enough to eat.

Have the Nassarius Snails popped out when you put food in yet? I think that is the coolest thing to watch they jump out like commandos in an ambush with just their snorkels sticking out of the sand otherwise in my tank then at least 1 climbs the glass and leaves sandy snail tracks on the just...

The CUC seems to be getting along well, now to get the timers at the right amount of hours. It is hard to find the best for the algae based coral without causing a bloom everywhere else. :bowdown:

Does it look like I have algae issues?

+1 everyone the tank is really perking up and I keep the glass clean on 3 sides with the smallest magnet cleaner. Also got a 3w UV unit for the tank just need some elbows to make it fit without kinking the hose. Since the tank is new so are the lights and that should answer your next question on...

Added an arrow crab today the guy says they eat flat and bristle worms. What does CUC stand for?

The tang is a juvenile just over an inch long and the only fish. Was everyone thinking it was an adult? I should've posted a pic first. The algae is not out of control but the lights have been running 10 hours. Since its a new.tank and I'm new to using LED's its going to take some adjustment...

It's good to hear the solutions for the plugs are a hardware store away. Thanks for reminding me of getting rid of flatworm, bristle worm, ich have always been a salt aquarium biggest problem. What is the latest method used? Trying to just grab them can be tricky. The tang is a juvenal just an...

Thanks everyone for the advice, A larger tank 100+ is in my future the tang can be the first to go in it after it cycles too. He is on algae control for now. This tank cycled in 10 days that's when I added the shrimp and fish.

A couple more pictures. First day after the silt settled.

I bought an Innovative 16 gallon Marine tank and set it up on Jan 15 2012. It has 15 lbs of live rock, one bag of live sand and needed 10 gallons of instant ocean to fill it. The heater was turned up the first day to 79 and turned down a few days and stable after that to 77.4. It has a coral...

I have some unexpected stars also, one brittle star was found in the overflow chamber and recovered on a q-tip and I have seen star looking bodies without legs but they are 6 not 5 segmented. With eggs coming out of my rock no telling what is going to hatch next. ")

Someone talked about a putty for affixing is that like a 2 part playdough like glue that cures underwater? Is it wise to do that sort of work outside the main tank in a bucket or quarantine tank while that cures incase there is a toxic outgass? The clippers they use to cut the corals off to make...

Thanks for the insight. I would like to see more store owners use more natural stone fragmets for frag corals considering the size of the Nano reef. Not one size plug fits all coral

I've been interested in getting some new coral frags for my small reef but the LFS has most of them on PLUGS. I haven't seen anything uglier or un-natural looking before. They don't look anything like the live rock base and I'm wondering if anyone has trimmed them down before adding them to the...
