I'll be attending Virginia Tech in the Fall as a freshman and hope to keep my reef up and running while I'm away. The system: 10g AGA DIY ATO AC70 DIY LED (6 blue, 6 white) 2x Koralia nanos Livestock: 2x clowns... I think percs 1x cleaner shrimp 3x margarita snails 3x nassarius snails 1x turbo snail florida ricordea half dying brain, trying to nurse it back to health some GSP random zoas blue cloves that's about it so far....

ir0nma1den January 13, 2010 Author Share January 13, 2010 I'd like to bulk up on corals (hopefully less expensive) like a head of frogspawn, maybe a small torch, and other corals. where's the best place to find this stuff? (stores, people, websites, etc). I've been to Aquatic Obsession and BRK, both great stores, but a little pricey for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucelli January 14, 2010 Share January 14, 2010 nice lights! The best way IMO to get corals is from folks here. Lots of friendly people. It's like shopping at a flea market except better. It also takes some strain away from wild corals. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amuze January 14, 2010 Share January 14, 2010 Nice start on the nano. You should also check out Fins & Feathers in Ashburn. They always have nice frags at cheap prices. If you see something you want a frag of, just ask and I'm sure Sean will frag it for you. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir0nma1den January 17, 2010 Author Share January 17, 2010 Update: The sun coral is open, but that is because the lights were off before I took the shot. Anyone know how I can keep them open all day? new monti cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan January 17, 2010 Share January 17, 2010 Sun corals are no9n photosynthetic cave dwellers. They don't typically open at night. I was able to train mine by letting them go hungry and feeding the tank with lights on only. Now they open during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmubeach February 28, 2010 Share February 28, 2010 Like the look, its one of the better nanos out there... you may want to watch the gps it will take over in a small tank... dr mac sends it to me all the time and I always trade it even though its very pretty!
