I have a Jebo 338 (secondhand) - which I am now trying to sculpt into the world's most beautiful nano . And so need to relentlessly bug you with questions that will no doubt make you roll your eyes - you'll love me in the end, I know you will .
Things I know:
Things I know:
- I need to change the current light bulbs for marine (I just can't find any in the LFS that fit)
- I need to take out the sponge and the bio balls- correct? What am I putting instead? LR rubble - where do I get it and is it going to cost me lots? Is there a cheap alternative to LR rubble? Can you guess that cheaper is going to be a theme? :razz:
- LFS suggested I get an external tetra canister filter, do I really need one? Will the extra volume of water help? Can't have an open sump due to feline interests.
- Tank has been running for about 2 weeks - with live sand and 1 Kg LR. No algea bloom (cross fingers).
- So sand bed at the moment is about 4cm thick, should I make it deeper/thinner? Does it make a difference at all?
- Is there such a thing as too much LR? I gather I am meant to aim at around 4 kgs (36L tank)?
- When do I get to add clean up crew? Will Hermit crabs eat interesting things off of my LR, that I would rather they didn't?
- I have the standard powerhead that came with the jebo, I figure I need another one for a bit more flow and directionality. Should I add just the powerhead? What about a tiny rena filter unit instead?
