Good question ! Clipping the frags is a good way to keep our hobby and don't destroy the reefs :o) When you have a nano, this problem is the same that other people have w/ a big aquarium, the only difference here is the time. I preffer that corals that don't grown quickly... [ ]s

I'm not sure because I don't have a termometer :o) I think that the water's temperature goes to 10C on the winter in my nanoreef w/out heater. Of course on the summer it goes to 31C because when I had termometer I saw it, but I've take back the heater and termometer on the same time and I don't...

Really, there was a heater untill the end of the last summer here ( +- 10 months ago ). :P

:P :?:

"Brazil has a more stable temp than New York" :o) It's true... But the temperature here vary between 6C and 40C. May be the aquarium's water vary between 10C and 31C w/out heater and cooling.

Here you go: I'd like to talk about a simple system that doesn't use skimmer, supplements, control of temperature, etc. First of all, I'll ask you to go to: http://www.aquahobby.net/tanks/tank0105a.html There is something about my experience w/ my 7 gallon nano reef there. The nano is going...

Awesome aquascape ! Looks great. How old is your tank ? Witch one is the older coral ?

May be something between 1.018 to 1.028.

Blenny is a good choice because it eat algae and help to clean the tank. I also like the percula clown... Why not ? :o) Good luck !
