Haha... that was awesome! They are really fast too...

So if a clownfish without stripes is called a naked clown, does that make it a naked peacock...? I like the "hybrid" peacock.

Did you switch off the pumps, wave makers and even fans when you took the photo of the Octo? These steps will help somewhat. Nice photos of your princess! I'll take note of this lens when I get a DSLR. This sharp front image, blurry background must be a much sought after effect. Some of my friends asked me about this effect the first thing they saw my camera.

Frag it! So that all of us can have a piece of it...

So that's where you got your alcohol supply for the tiramisu!

Evil! *goes pack a spear gun with the plastic containers & bags*

Welcome to the IQ3 club! I just started mine 2 days ago! As what comy stated, you will need a small fan to keep things cool. To deal with the evaporation, you can use a hamster bottle as an ATO (auto top-off) for freshwater replacement. Just remember to remove the metal ball from the metal tube, and insert a rubber or plastic tube as the contact point in case the metal portion rusts. Some links from Nano-reef.com to give you an idea how it works: Hamster bottle ATO Concept (This is an interesting read. This reefer conducted an experiment to find out if the freshwater and saltwater will eventually dilute and mix together. Check out the results.) For such a pico, regular weekly water changes will suffice. You might wanna consider replacing the black sponge with Bio-homme as it will be a more effective bio filter. Live rocks are your natural bio filters as well, and they are easily available in most LFS. From what I read, Coral Farm sells good, cured live rocks so you can consider getting it from there. Keep stocking levels to the minimum, and you should have a thriving pico in no time! Start a tank thread, and we'll look forward to your progress updates!

I like tank raids... *goes to prepare plastic containers and bags*

Or just wait patiently for it to be completely covered in coralline algae...

Sold and collected by a nice reefer! Thread closed.

"Strip weapon!" or "Assemble weapon!" sound familiar to you? Now you can do it with a skimmer... Xaqua X-SK Skimmer

I think this is more suitable for making acrylic frag plugs...

Very nice photos!

Hoho! Huge glass box! I'm sure you will enjoy the crystal glass clarity. Not making use of the sump cabinet top at all?

Nice blue yumas and an awesome sump! Love the space...

Wow bro, you have been on a shopping spree! Great photos too!

That's the thing... the problem I have is with rust. Kinda wasteful to keep changing blades. Thought of getting tools that'll last me a long time.

I need to visit RD soon... never been there. Should be able to find interesting stuff not easily available elsewhere too.

Interesting place to find scalpels! I'll check it out the next time I'm there, thanks!

In comparison, jawfishes will probably bury your frags with sand...

I have witnessed mine spitting sand on my zoas, making them close up, and immediately pecking on what I assume are pods. It has always been messing the sand here and there. I just took out my sand bed last week though...

Haha... I was wondering if I had to get it from a hospital or something. Imagine what weird ideas the nurses or staff would have...

No gems, bro! Seriously... Tank didn't do very well for the past few months, so lost quite a number of zoas. Now the remaining ones are just struggling to survive. Did quite a bit of overhauling for last 2 weeks, so hopefully my tank will see better days. Kinda missed the growth spurt the LEDs provided... still see growth with the T5s, but not as fast as I would hope for.
