I am currently building my 10 g AGA nano reef. I have a few questions. I am not new to fishkeeping, made 10 freshwater tanks, 1 FO SW tank, and 1 FOWLR SW tank, both 20 gallons and a lot of success. This is my first SW tank in about ten years however, I see a LOT has changed, and I have some questions. Here is my proposed build: Tank 10 g AGA, some off brand purchased at LFS. It holds water though. Filtration/Heater AC 70 to be used as HOB fuge InTank AC 70 insert, will have chaeto, chemipure elite, and walmart poly fill as media. 10 watt submersible light from InTank as light for chaeto. Plan to run at night as opposite of main lighting. Hydor 50 Theo placed in AC 70 Lighting Orphek PR-25UV Dimmable 6 Blue/4 White/2 UV LED Pendant Ikea Lustera lamp modded to fit the tank light hooked up to a timer or coralife strip? Not sure about that yet. Water RO/DI water purchased from local grocery. No room for RO/DI unit at the moment. Whatever salt package is on sale at LFS Bio filtration in display tank 7 to 8 lbs. of fiji live rock from LFS 5 lbs. ive sand from LFS Livestock Turbo snail clean up squad (5 maybe?) put in after cycling 1 clownfish a month later Some shrimp? Coral down the line? What kind can I do with this lighting? Plan to put in a powerhead prior to this, any suggestions? I plan to do water changes every other day using the 16 oz cup method, and top off as needed with RO/DI. Might put in a DIY ATO if needed. My questions are: Do I need to have a powerhead from the get go? Do I have to have less flow with my AC 70 fuge? What kind of coral could I have with my lighting set up? Is there anything I missed? Many thanks for any advice you can give me.

I got this Quiet One pump about 7 weeks ago.... It's been freakin noisy as hades since day one. The other day it got even worse. Today suddenly it practically screamed bloody murder at me, so I turned it off and took it apart. I also found out where the mysterious blue plastic thing came from that showed up in my tank a couple days ago.... Is my water F-ed up now due to the impeller metal? Could this be why that hoek frag RTNed a couple weeks ago, and why a couple other frags are on their way out? I guess I'll put some carbon in the tank when I get off the computer. But now I'm back to no pump.

Hi Everyone, I am attending another conference this week that I think will have plenty of beneficial information for everyone here. The conference is the Regional Aquatics Workshop, or RAW (www.rawconference.org) and is being held in Atlanta, GA and hosted by the Georgia Aquarium. Here is the link to the scheduled talks, http://rawconference.org/presentations.html The first day of the meeting is tomorrow but I arrived today so I could fit in a whale shark/manta ray dive in the 6.3 million gallon tank at the aquarium. It was amazing!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow is kind of the "soft" start date. The first day is mostly business meetings and things of that nature because we are all together only once a year, so we get a lot done while we are here. The primary talks start on Tuesday so I'll have a lot to post about the day of talks, including a talk by me about my current research. Let me know if you have any questions, on anything, and I'll do my best to get them answered. Greg

Follow the link to a video of coral under a confocal laser microscope. Scroll down to first honorable mention in the 2012 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge. I should have brought some corals in while I had access to one of these in a previous job! Pretty cool and also hard to do with something that isn't sliver thin under one of these scopes. http://scim.ag/UJwFrL David
