and now one of them isnt as lively and active anymore.
it doesnt even eat!

my clowns used to sleep in the back behind my powerhead but i pushed the powerhead so that the gap that they sleep in is gone.
is my clown sleep deprived? or just depressed or something?]]> Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:00:03 -0400 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248060 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248058

Have already read through steelhealr's thread.

The main topic I'm interested in is filtration (I am thinking about making the 2nd chamber into a fuge to control ph swings). But I would greatly appreciate any information you think is pertinent.

So to sumarize...what mods have you made that you would reccomend for your nanocube 24?

Thank You!!]]> Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:49:07 -0400 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248056 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248055 So I had this biocube up and running for about 6 months but came to find out I did not have the time necessary to keep this mini reef tank up and running. I even managed to add the suggested modifications intank media rack and 3.24 nano customs lighting upgrade along with 2 underwater halogen lights to go with the media rack for the cheato I was growing. Everything is in great working condition. I am looking for $275 OBO for everything. Local pick up is free. Shipping is at the buyers expense. I am located in downtown Fort Lauderdale FL. Please send a PM if interested.

Ballast is PFO electical ballast and pendant is not named but in like new condition.]]> Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:58:33 -0400 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248049 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248048
Has anyone had experience with a leopard wrasse changing sex from female to male. I know this can happen when you have more than one female leopard wrasse. Does anyone know how long this process should take? Is there anything special I should do to help her... him. Should I feed her/him more or less than normal…

Thanks for any help I can get, I really LOVE this fish!

I will try and take some current pictures of her tonight.

Here are some pictures of her from about 6 months ago.

I HATE doing it! I've been doing 2 large (50%) water changes per month, and I change it each time I do that. My coral growth is really slow, so I've been thinking about doing 2 smaller changes, about 15% each for a total of about 30% per month and changing my sock more frequently. I'm hoping this will create a more stable, less stressful environment.

It seems whenever I see what I think is a super nasty tank, full of hair algae and ripe with neglect, their corals look better than mine with great grow out.

I'm also cutting back on my lights, leaving them on for 8 hours instead of 10-12. I have 2 150w 120k halides running, and some of my nems and leathers have turned brown.

Also, how do you clean your pumps? Do you run them through with vinegar? Should I be taking them apart? I've had this tank for 10 months now and I'm sure there are some more long term maintenance items that are due, but I'm not sure what???]]> Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:09:00 -0400 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248043 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248042
I had a lot of these worms crawling all over my turbo snail's body and on my rocks. Later found out that the snail was dead. Don't know how it died, all water parameters were normal. I am not sure if these worms were the reason for it. Can you please help me ID these? I hope the picture is clear enough. These were about a few millimeters long, white in color with sort of brown line on its back, which moved really fast. Hard to see without taking a closer look.
