I have 28 gallon nanocube that is about 1 year old and I want to reaquascape. Anybody have any suggestions on the best way to do this to minimize the stress on the tank? Thanks!

I don't need one that will do an automatic top off. Just one to do water changes with. Will this make any difference with the one I choose? Thanks again

I haven't had to change mine yet and had for over three months. But, I'm also not 100% sure when to change it. It says that you can tell with a line gradually running up, but mine is not that easy to tell. If I got an RO/DI what kind should I get and how often do I need to replace the...

I have a 28 gallon nano cube and I have been using a tap water filter and not an RO/DI. All of my water parameters are perfect except my phosphate is around .01. Do you think I'm ok with the tap water filter or do I need to get an RO/DI unit? Thanks for the help! Mike

I'm thinking of getting some sexy shrimp in my 28 gallon nano cube. I have a clown fish, a mandarin and a peppermint shrimp. Do you think the peppermint shrimp will bother the sexy shrimp? Thanks for the advice. Mike

Looking to buy 4 sexy shrimp. I live in Manhattan. Thanks! Mike

I have a good amount of red algae growing on my sand. My water parameters are perfect and everything else in the tank is doing great. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe a little critter that likes to eat it? Thanks for the help Mike

I bought a bird's nest a few weeks ago for my 28 gallon nano reef and one part of the coral looks like it is dying, But the rest of the coral looks great. I have metal halide lights and my water quality is fine. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help in advance

Have any more of the zoos and palys? Interested in buying a bunch of them. Also, are you ever in Manhattan. Thanks Mike Harris

question I have the same tank as you. What setting do you put your wavemaker on? Thanks for the help! Mike H
