I always thought that the gallons per day ratings were for ideal conditions, 77 degrees and all that. I don't need that much water, sure, but that would let me obtain what I need faster.

Oh yeah,...

I have a 12g nano cube with a bad algae problem, up to now just using dechlorinated tap water. I recently tested both the tap water and aquarium water-phosphates for sure, didn't test for silicates...

So far I am not incredibly impressed with the design of these things. The companies don't seem to listen to the reefkeepers. I had a "real" tank in high school and miss the flexibility with that. ...

What media do you use in your nano cube?

I have a 12g deluxe nano cube, took out the bio-balls and ceramic rings. Do people leave the sponges in or should those also come out?

Best LFS in Houston?

I live about 90 miles from Houston, the nearest place with real saltwater stores. So far I have been to Aquarium World and a couple other places...where is the best reef store down there?

Thanks.

I've had both a Rio and Mag pump. The Mags are MUCH better built, quieter, and better for pressure applications. Rios have received bad reviews for years from experienced reefers.

Yes, but the DX is "discounted" on there for $160, the same price I paid from Premium Aquatics. IMO that is a good price for what you get. They include a good reflector to get more out of the PC's,...

Two or three smaller ones, this enables more even circulation throughout the tank. Since you already have a sump, I would consider a closed loop system with 2 separate nozzles.

The regular model has 1 24w 50/50 PC lamp, the deluxe has 2 of the same. I would definitely get the DX, this will let you keep most corals IMO, although I wouldn't do a clam or anemone with the...
