The tank is 9 days old, fully cycled. (I got the water, rock, and sand from TimSalty's tank.) I am receiving a Montipora Digitata Sunday, and some GSP & zoanthids Saturday.

Thanks Jon,

No coral wars yet. I have had to move a few corals away from the RBTA when I first got him. He found a nice spot and has not moved since (almost a year now). I dose Ocean's blend daily, which is a similar product of B-Ionic.

This link will take you to an article on my tank. If you clink on any of the pics it will go to a gallery of quite a few pics.

Hey just Dave and falling ice are those clams i see?
because i was told by my lfs you need halide(spelling)?
bulbs and a chiller i own a jbj(old one)12g tank and also was
told could not have sps corals with my lighting i really want a clam
and sps corals any suggestions on this matter
currently have 1 pepperment shrimp
1 yellow watchman gobbie
2 o-clowns
xiena
and a coral i forgot name
2 rocks of zoo's one has 5 different kinds other has 2
10lbs live rock
arogonite sand(spelling)
live rock pebbles in sump
thanks in advance

[falling ice]

i have halide lighting... but no chiller
the lfs is correct in general do more resasearch and you'll find a few clams and few types of sps corals that do not need high light
but most clams you see require the brighter light

[CamBarr]

[CamBarr]

what no sps nanos

[Jovreefer]

This was just a quick pic I took to put in my gallery. Colors are really off. 50/50 sps/zoa's :)

[Milleme]

Just recently set this tank up. No coral yet, i still need lights and a skimmer. Any suggestions on a skimmer, I was thinking of the new mini ASM. You can post on my thread so we dont hijack. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=858466

shot from the top

<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/allienimy/upshot.jpg" border="0"></a>
(disregard the bleached montipora altasepta in this photo, i haven't found anyone who can keep thier color in captivity...)

i will try to take a new photo of the full front and show growth sequences.

This nano has been through a lot... red-bugs, montipora nudis, and AEF. I recently began running a skimmer and I have noticed color has decreased on some corals and there has been a recent bloom of silica based algae, but im blaming that on bad RO/DI, because its bled through several of my nanos

[CamBarr]

wow great tank post a FTS, What lighting are you using???

[castorpollux]

i have to take a full tank shot tonight to post,

im running a 400 watt XM 20k, with two 32 watt dual actinic pc's

sweet tank dave what are youre tank specs

[duec22]

29 gal Via Aqua + 5gal CPR HOB refugium w/macro
skimerless -30-40% weekly water changes
NH3/NO2-Non Detect
NO3<5
I use randy's two part and try to keep Calcium at 420 and Alk between 10-11DKh

I feed the fish once a day durring the week and multipule times durring the weekend. LPS get target feeding at least twice a week. SPS get some of the cyclopeze I feed the fish, and recently 3 or 4 times a week I've been feeding Roti-feast.

[CamBarr]

what type of lighting do you have

[duec22]

Sry about that..
I've got 6x24W TEK T-5 retros in a custom hood (see galley)
I run 5 of the bulbs over the tank and the sixth over the fuge.
Actic Plus: 10am-10pm
Aqua Blue Plus: 3pm-9pm
Actic Plus: 11am-5pm
Aqua Blue Plus: 3pm-9pm
Actic Plus: 10am-10pm

[CamBarr]

sweet another T-5 user how is the color of the sps holding up under your lights. nice wood work on the canopy btw

[duec22]

I've had pretty mixed results. So far almost every piece I've put in there initally bleached, but I never lost any. Since then most have colored up, but not to their full potential. I'm thinking of raising the lights up in the canopy a couple of inches. I'm thinking about this because I've been trying to get rid of a few frags due to space, and in gathering these frags together in the tank I've put them pretty low...and after about two weeks the colors on them look fantastic....

[CamBarr]

How high do you have them now I think most people are running them about 6" off the waters surface

[duec22]

Right now about 2-3" off the surface. I was thinking of takeing them up to 6".... or maybey put them in an arc over the tank.
http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/23251bonesopen.jpg

[CamBarr]

thae arc idea would be cool i beleve moast people run 6" or so, you should be fine do a search on dano's tank
