Well, after 15 great years of great nano reefing (https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/172031-nano-sapiens-12g-ye-olde-mixed-reef/) it's now time to 'pass it on'. Location: Near Walnut Creek in Contra Costa Co This is a very well cared for 12g Cadlights bowfront nano reef aquarium with a few...

The SPS has been up there for a few years. The purple sticks are questionable (possibly Stylophora or Digitata?). SPS wise, to the right is a Pavona maldivensis and behind all that are three species of Seriatopora, a Granulosa, Mint-green Pavona, three species of Leptoseris, Pink...

Auto, (2) slightly modified 'Pet Bottles'.

Great, thanks for updating.

How about now?

FTS - 9th Year: Little puddle of saltwater just keeps on doing it's thing... :)

To add some science to the conversation, Dana Riddle's article references tests done on a Torch coral using prolonged and continuous lighting: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2009/5/aafeature The takeaway here is that 17 hours of lighting caused abnormalities in cell division. 16 hrs. would...

I don't have anything to say about poop, butt ;) The length of the lighting period can certainly be a factor in excess algae growth, as can the wavelengths emitted (especially warmer colors like 'red'), the intensity and the DLI (Daily Light Integral). The equatorial daylight length is 12 hrs...

I deleted my original reply as I had to ask myself the question; "Is this OP serious or just having a bad day?", especially considering the definitive subject wording. Running without a skimmer didn't work in your experience, and that's legit. But your title says that a 'Protein skimmer is...

Congrats!

Sounds more like a 'Chalice', then. Whatever it is, it's a very cool.

Very nice! tank indeed! My interest was peaked with this unusual coral. My first thought was Australomussa since some of the corallites have a resemblence to mussids, but then again it could also be an unusually thick tissued type of Chalice (Mycedium?). Are the tentacles long and stringy or...

I guess you could say that, but there are a few even older examples of small nano/pico tanks out there.

Thank you, Felicia :)

Thanks! There's a fair bit of pushing-and shoving, but I've only lost one coral type so far. I like to transplant frags in multiple places, so that helps to prevent loosing a specific coral type.

Anywho, 8th year pics for this 12g non-filtered nano: Left side: Right Side:

Managed to find one of these nippy little characters, but thanks for letting me know.

Hey Robert, Just put my name on a pair of those Pedersons and I'll be down this Saturday (seriously). Ralph.

Yay! Congrats, again on the feature :)

I take that back, Robert is officially a Baller :) Crinoid Squat Lobsters are reef safe. They are rather clumsy and should to be hand fed (I feed mine twice a day).
