I was really hoping this tank continued! hard to keep college picos going, lots of moves, vacations etc.

college tanks are so hard to keep long term, mine wouldnt have lasted w all the moves. if anyone wants to see the latest vase from a very good builder who has a strong facebook presence, just google maritza the vase reef, its two yrs old this year. Reefnoob how did yours turn out man B

that depends on how much coral mass your feeding and water change schedule can support. my bowl is literally full of lps, but the feeding and water change is exceptional. my light can be linked to threads that show coral mass solely on that light, not just illumination. those details matter in...

RN What kind of food did you get, how did you choose it Ur getting good thread view counts fast

that sounds like a plan, it will require some good feeding a few times a week + water changes other than that I dont see them differently than any lps it just looked beefy and hungry To keep turbinaria types/oxypora types alive you must feed in anticipation of a greater than normal...

Sure that steps it up a notch you are not accused of going too slow :) Heavy feeding of high quality frozen marine foods, decapsulated live brine, something remarkable you can link as research is how it needs to be fed not entry level reefing...Those corals test your ability and the tanks...

This should help Its the largest dino specific thread I know of, here we go http://166.78.194.236/forums/showthread.php?t=2307000

Sure or just do it in a bucket Nothing matters regarding bacteria in that sand. They w come when needed When the tank can be changed fully and no silting occurs, get your first live rock stacks They'll run your filter until the sand catches up. To make a five minute job out of clean your...

Looks good, its time to fully rinse the sand out over and over, use clean non tap water if you want. The tank can't have silt that will become suspended during full water changes Poster Comptonreef on nr.com lost his reefbowl coral solely due to silting so bad it smothered coral every water...

need to link a thread as retyping is very hard this is helpful very much for new nano reef cyclers if I miss your reply pm me so Ill know we can discuss here, but the reading is linked w pics etc The difference between when you use shrimp to cycle, and when you dont...

Want to see a specific powerful option Google this Pico reef pest algae challenge thread Don't skim, read it all. Get a little myopathy headache but in the end get examples too before and after, hit all 60 pages worth it- Works on dinos too

if you bought a vase you liked, you could at a minimum try it as this is no big inv you'll know solely off the salinity flux and you'll know within a day.

RN Those vases will work as a reef, but with major differences that affect salinity. thats experimental, mines for sure, you have to choose. drilling these is -hard- without ruining them, my lids are plastic those are glass, see some work coming Gentleman Mark, Warlion on this site, did the...

Oredith good call I cannot possibly tell you how rotten spoiled we must be are you saying the inside of your house gets to 85 at any time if my house gets to 78 some people are being called in a mad fury but thats for personal comfort from a guy with a little midsection fat, not for reefing...

Oredith I saw it differently. I never said Im dropping anything as you caption, calling bs means you call someone a liar but we hadnt talked as I mainly lurk here you can see, its cool. A different track for the thread might have read -how- did the vase... its ok we know type doesnt convey...
