[nic3322]

hi guys yesterday i bought a aqua h20 af 62 nano and stand i got a extra 700l pump for it i want to upgrade lights is this possible i have about 10kg live rock what fish and coral can i put in this tank i would like to put in a nenny and a mated pair of black percs.what else can i put in

 

[lanzo]

dude, a anemones don't like new setups, u can add one after 6months, but to be on the save side 8months.

 

[nic3322]

sorry i ment to say after 6 months

 

[lanzo]

sweet, anemone will lookk great with to black percs
you can add some softies, shrooms, zoa's, leathers
you can add some lps, frog, fox, hammer, but don't add a galaxy to nano, those sweeper tenticals will hirt nearby corals

Don't add any tangs, they will outgrow the nano,
Rather go for one of the pigmi angel

eish!!!!!

first things first = get rid of that substrate!!!!!!!!!

 

[nic3322]

i am going to move it to my sump and add arigonite

 

[Mekaeel]

i wouldnt advise you to move that substrate to the sump either.ditch it.get some sugar fine sand for your sump eg Aragonite, play sand

 

[nic3322]

ok whats wrong with it

 

[Matt]

large particles will trap detritus and lead to BAD nitrate problems in the future!

 

[nic3322]

ok but i will in upgrade in january will the tank survive till then

 

[lanzo]

dude playsand is R50, rather add playsand now and avoid disapontment.
and that coarse substrate looks kaka

 

[lappiesreef]

Lanzo where do you get playsand?

I went to menlyn yesterday and tried Game, Toy's R us and Reggies. None of them had

 

[jacquesb]

LappiesReef - you can try Builder's Warehouse - ask them for "playsand".... Just remember that you will have to wash this play-sand MANY MANY times before using it in your tank (otherwise your tank/water will become WHITE with sand-dust)...
