Nano tank thread

How many ponds of rock do you have?

 

Sense you don’t have a fuge, I would suggest you put 1 or 2 mangroves in the tank, to keep down the waste when you get some fish.
What type of sand are you using?
What is the flow rate of your filter, and power head?
What do you keep your temp at?

 

i only have 5lbs but i think i need at least 5 more maybe 10? As far as sand I used caribsea in the bag from the LPS. I just found a great reef place and got the live rock and critters (snails and blue hermits). The filter is a penguin 150 rated for 30 gallons and i just added the hydor nano 240 gal an hour in think. My heater is a 50w that keeps the tank at a 78-79. No skimmer yet but i wanted to get a cpr bak pak with the bio bale chamber and put chateo in it. A thought.

 

i'm running the bio wheel in the filter too. I keep reading its a bad idea but i just cant see it. i would like to believe its just like the live rock only better!

 

You need 5 more ponds minimum, but I would go with 10.
Also, so you don’t have to buy expensive live rock, you should get base rock. It will turn into live rock.
As far as the bio wheel, I don’t run them, but I don't see why I would hurt anything.

 

These are better pics of my tank







The dates are not right

 

wtf is that freshwater guppies in a salt water tank! its possible. Well i ordered the cpr BP2+. the newest in the line with the accla pump. I here mixed reviews but i will find out for my self. i'm hope'n to use it as a macro grower too. Ultra Mini fuge of sorts.

 

You can do it with guppies, but I used mollies.

This is a video I made to day about my mollies, and the tank.
