My very first marine tank

once every two days but just a little not too much.

lets hope the clowns dont start hosting in the hammer as they could kill it if they irritate it too much!

looks good like the scaping man gives you depth of field if you had say a whole lot of zoas or something of that sort along that rock wall.

i think the bug has bitten and you will upgrade to a bigger tank during 2010:)
 
yeah pretty much

or if your scared you'll rip them apart then place the rock on the rock wall so that they will eventually grow onto the rock wall...
 
which one? the polka dot?yellow with blacks spots or the white/silverish ones?

they are fine but when they grow bigger(and they can grow quite large for a nano) they may eat corals.....how big is this one?buy it only if it is very small and you know you can provide it with a bigger home after maybe six months.too keep it longer than six months in a nano would be cruel;)

oh yes and did i mention that some species can give of toxins when severely stressed or dying?:p that said i had two so far a tiny yellow box that got sucked into my overflow and crushed by the pump and another one that simply died in the first week but did not poison my tank so its your choice...

careless reefkeepers should be banned:p
 
you can upgrade the lights on this until...talk to matt he has doen it on his prevoius nano...he fitted one more pl tube betwen the excisting 2.
 
Will do. Thx Lanzo. Do you sell these pl tubes and the ballast?

Another question...
As I'm already pumping water out of the tank for the chiller, is it worth using that for anything else like an external skimmer or a sump or something. Not sure if it is worth any hassle on this tank.

yip will hook you up next year.

You can add a ump to yur system if you want to with a ts1 skimmer and dsb.

But with a 10%wc or 15%wc per weekwill sort out any problem before they accure

not a skimmer no,they are not pressurised....maybe a po4 reactor or or carbon in a cannister filter.
 
hi johan , jus over R100ea for the percs is dirt cheap , great buy
secondly that looks to me like a frogspawn rather than a hammer ....
 
yup loads of guys do it. check out nano-reef.com

You have a chiller so you wont have any problems! I'd get a 150W MH pendant
 
johan is your new chiller quite noisy? Why didn't you get the 130 - cheaper and still suitable to keep your nano temps down
