do you think changing my brand of salt could help with my PH?(right now my PH is 7.6-7.8 and iam using IO salt)but i will look for that C balence stuff when i go out :D for coral iam think of a frogspawn, mushrooms,zoos,leather or any other easyer typ of coral for now, iam going to use a...

i also got one of those plastic plant inserts at walmart but i havent cut it yet for the cord from the power head or for the thermometer, i was going to use an airstone but iam putting this right by my bead so i think the air stone bubbling would be too loud at night, what did you dose for your...

i havent updated this in a wile it seems, unfortunatly this pico dident work :( , i coudent get the toobs right and the silicone kept makeing the water cloudy so i took it down :cry: , but iam going to give up on a sealed reef yet :D i did find a vase just like the one brandon has so iam going...

well i seem to be having some problems with this tank now, for one the pump isent strong enuf and sence both the tubes are the same size when the pump is on it makes the water in the one cube go up and the other go down, also the water has gotten cloudy for some reason so iam going to have to...

well ive leek tested the cubes so iam going to try and get the pump in there soon and get some water in it, iam also looking at lighting optian, i was thinking of just using a 10w screw in light in a desk lamp above it for the corals and some other light for the algea in the fuge if i need it.

RC i did copy brandons femto-reef i realy like the way it looks :D today we put the two cubes together but the silicone takes at least 48hrs to cure but it might take a week, it looks ok for now but i will have to have a DSB witch i think will look nice, i think the pump i have is about...

for now i dont think iam going to seal the 2.5(see how it gos open first) and nay make an ATO if i can(not that great a DIYer) iam using the 7"H 4"L4"W for the sealed pico, my grampa drilled two holes for the tubes(about 4" up from the bottom) in one and we will drill the other one tommorow, i...

i never thought about sealing the 2.5? on one hand it would save me having to top off all the time, but it would limit live stock and putting in new live stock if the top is sealed, Hhhmm......i will have think about that :wink: iam still making the smaller one, so far iam going with some of...

iam not sure weather to get a coralife 20w screw in light for my 2.5 for $20 or get the coralife 9w+9w hood for $30? witch would be the best light for some soft coral?(and what would be good coral options for the amount of light?) thanks!

thanks brandon :D i looked around and i was thinking of making one out of 2 cases(4"w,4"L,7"H)so i could stack rock, have a deeper sand bed and then the pump from the fuge could be higher up witch would give more room for rock/sand/chatoe ect but would it matter that there is less surface...
