    My second nano reef: moving up to 10 gallons

    Okay, after having successfully set up and maintained my first reef at 5.5 gallons, I'm now ready to move up to the next level: 10 gallons! I built myself a no frills stand which I painted to my wife's approval, and have just added the gravel, water and filter. Pretty murky, but has cleared up...

    Used Base Rock: Does it need to be cleaned?

    Hi folks. I picked up some really nice looking former live rock off that has some nice coloring to it in shades of purple, green and brown. I like the way it looks, so I was wondering is it really necessary to bleach it? It has been over two years since it was live rock, so I'm guessing...

    When to add Chaeto?

    Hi. My tank is currently cycling. I have a fuge built into it which currently holds some small pieces of LR, but I plan to add Chaeto to this as well. At what point should I add this? I assume after cycling, but how long after cycling? Also, how much light does it need? Thanks!
