    I was woundering if someone could tell me if these were clownfish eggs or just sum kind of orange coraline. They appear as tiny little balls then some dissappear in a few days. Just curious. The male clown isn't swimming close to them like they r eggs or nothing.

  4. I have this rock with gsp or sum kind of green polyps and it is just growing too fast for what I want. If anyone has sum sps or lps frags they wanna trade. Will also take 15 dollars for it. I live in bruceville so I'm pretty far away but I will b in Austin on the 23 for the RCA sale.

  8. i have a 29g biocube..its really basic when it comes to just starting a aquarium...i liked it cause its small can kinda conveint..it doesnt have a fuge setup but there are many people who mod these things..it dont come with a skimmer either..though they sell skimmers for them..i wouldnt recomend the oceanic skimmers...i bought a tunze 9002 for mine..and i am working on modding the rear chamber for better flow and filtration..some people make the rear chamber a fuge..me..im going to buy a media basket from mediabaskets.com and put it next to my skimmer..it all depends on what u wanna do..the lighting sucks..its only pc's..so u cant keep all the nice sps corals but if u wanna upgrade u can...they r very upgradable...u can also go to nano-forums.com and read some of their forums and check them out before u actually decide to dive into the nano...hope my info was helpful to you...hope to see some pics of it soon

    so as most of you know..im new here and i love reading the forums..well i would like to keep everyone informed on my new tank and would like to hear some responses on some ?s i may have in the future....i posted some pictures of my tank in the welcome section under local fish stores..its coming along great...im testing the water everyother day to monitor the cycling process and i have a slight ?...im logging everything in a notebook..lol..so i dont forget...ok i set the tank up on the 24th of dec. 2009..and my first test was on the 26th of dec. 2009..and my results are as follows . ph----------8.2 .ammonia---2.0ppm .nitrite-------0ppm .nitrate------5ppm and i told myself.."ok, thats pretty normal. Its looking good". so no on the 28th of dec. 2009 i took another test to see the progress..and i know that ammonia drops and nitrate rises and so on...so here are the results for today .ph-----------7.8 .ammonia---0.25ppm .nitrite-------5.0ppm .nitrate------20ppm so now here is where i run into a question..is this a normal increase for 2 days worth of cycling..i know the contrubting factors can never tell how long it will take cause its all different just like to growth of coral..but i just want to know if nitrites r suppose to jump that high in 2 days of that i just might have a good cycle and be able to start putting coral and fish in there sooner than i expected..i will continue to monitor the levels every 2 days and im sorry if i borded anyone...lol..i just like to share my hobby and interest on here with others and make sure that i learn as much as possible..thank you all and i would like to hear anyones opinion on anything..
