So thanks to you punks posting these gorgeous pics of your reefs and me showing wifey at least half of everything I see, she said let's do one together and i answered without even thinking "YES!". Done very minimal but can already see its going to probably be mostly me. We'll see what happens. I tried a reef tank some years back but what a noob. Adding things to the water, not testing for the things I was adding. Heck I would mix kalk and add the entire milky water instantly into the tank. Used an old hydrometer that later found out was completely offff. Welp, not that much brighter on the topic of corals but a little more knowledge and now with this community to be able to ask a million questions to... well let's just see what happens.

Nice!
I loved my nano cube. My tiny little syphon fit perfectly in the back slot and pulled all kinds of gunk out. It can get pretty filthy back there.

Thank you! I just remembered I have a tiny syphon somewhere... hope I didn't throw it away. Would fit perfectly.

Resist the urge, overstocking a nano with fish and you are asking for problems. Stick to 1 or 2 small fish unless you wan't trouble keeping up the water quality.

So we just got our light today yay... but at a total blank as far as hanging them. Any ideas on hanging a Chinese led box without drilling the wall or ceiling?
