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...

you are responding to my comments to oredith, oredith did the calling out, I did the linking. sorry the wording offended. am meeting a challenge thats all. Reefnoob you are right Im going back to edit some linked stuff out so it doesnt distract post your build pics we will tune this think...

I enjoyed the articles, not so much this thread. Always exciting when adding new techniques and experience. Not so exciting for rap sentences and bravado. good luck Not sure exactly that you are rewriting the books though, but it is interesting. I think I understand the salt creep/protein...

here is the salinity breakdown so you dont have to read for hours to find it, its simple. You already know that putting a lid on a bc29 typical everymans nano reef cuts down evaporation. confirmed by your community, you can reduce evaporation on a tank by installing a fitted lid. you get...

just doesn't quite add up. no ATO? "This vase uses no ATO and beats any full size reef on salinity stability" pulling water frag out will take some water with it, even if you don't use the tank's water to hold the frag, which means you're taking the frag from one water, and dumping it directly...

If you cant find a lid Ill mail you one but get this exact vase or the lid wont fit. it HAS to rest on the inner diameter of the vase, not on top like a normal tank Reefnoobie's exAmple vase is from one of two posters I chat with on youtube its either mary arroyo or beastmodehandball Im...
