im thinking about starting up a new tank, looking to do a mixed sps/lps/clams reef with a med/high bioload and here is what i have so far: 20 gal (24x12x16) and a 15 gal sump (24x12x12). Return pump (3ft of head pressure): possibly a mag 3, or mag 5/7 if i use it to power the reactor as well , advice? Skimmer: TUNZE 9002, bubble magus 3+or 3.5, any other ideas. Lighting: FNI 150w mh, FNI 250w mh, or maybe t-5's? Carbon dosing: vertex or Warner Marine pellets in a Fish Need It media reactor powered either by the return pump or a maxijet 900 or 1200. Circulation: most likely a k1 or k2. (thoughts) I would prefer not a use a chiller, and if i went MH i would most likey hang it 7-12" above the water. I will also have to drill the tank, any ideas of overflow sizes/ configurations

Haha. Well I don't have a powerhead anymore, but the return is the biggest concern now. Do you think I should just wait until they are larger?

The fish are in a 14gal Biocube.

Hi, just wanted to ask a quick question. I have a yellow watchman goby. Anyone know if he will go after my new baby clowns? They are probably .5 inches long. I have them in a breeder right now but i'm itching to get them out into the big tank. Another concern was whether or not they would sucked into the return.

Both are sold. We are still trying to get everything settled but the clowns are not being very nice to catch.

Ok he or is it a she, is yours! Ill be available friday and saturday if you can come by then. I live in south austin off of slaughter lane. Kinda new to this so I don't know how to bag it or anything. I can have a friend come help if need be. adam

I've never done one of these before. How long does it usually take?

Pending on all black. The other is still for sale!

Gotta sell these. Will do both for 60 or separated for 35 each.

Pushed post on accident. I added an old 50mm computer fan to the back and it really pulls the heat out. Took about 10 minutes with the dremmel and an extra 12v power supply.

If you wanna get the temp down there needs to be some airflow in there. I was sick of keeping the feeding lid open too.

Ok, im slowly finding out about these things lol. Seems to be a pretty general trend to reef keeping. The one I like is in the last picture.

I'm interested in the the acans. I'm not real sure of the name. Rainbow skittle acan?

I have the dual 420/454 and the Actinic white PC-R bulbs in my tank and love the color. Seems like everything in my tank does too. I have now upgraded so that I can have three bulbs but just have a regular pc bulb that came with the upgrade. PC-R is def the way to go if your not upgrading to something stronger.

I had heat issues with my biocube as well. What were your temps at? I added a fan to the back and it moved te air enough that I had to put in a heater, it was down to 75. I like the rimless look as well. Check out nano reef. They have a couple rimless biocube threads. I think they use the sunpod on the 14g but I'm not sure about the 29.

There we go. The one on the left is in Will's tank now and the smaller one on the right is in my tank.

Got a Yellow watchman goby, a new anemone, and a chalice last weekend. Tank is looking much better and my maze coral looks like its been given another life. Getting rid of my black ocelaris and replacing with two regular clowns that are going to host, hopefully.

I don't know why the website is not letting me upload pictures. But here is a bump and you can have both for 70. Split up for 40 each.

I'll take 2! adam

Ok, so I've decided to take a different direction to my tank alltogether and have another black clown I want to sell. The second is a little smaller and has a orange mouth area. This one is in my tank. I'll sell her for 40 because she isn't completely black. The two clowns do not get along well in a small tank, mine is 14G. That's why I had them separated. I'll sell both for $80.

Need to sell a female 2 1/2" black and white percula, she is too big for my 14gal biocube. I would like to sell her for what i paid for her, $50. Ill try to post a pick soon. Thanks Adam p.s. she is currently in my friend Wills tank and he is located in central austin by UT

I need 6 blue leg hermits, 2 nasarius snails, 5 cerith snails, 1 anemone crab, 5 nerite snails, 1 rock anemone, 1Green Apple Zoanthids

Oh, also, I took the protein skimmer out. There wasn't enough room for it with the heater and I considered the heater greater priority right now. I may figure out a way to put it back in later, but it didn't seem like it was pulling much out.
