Haha, well thank you!! I've seen your tank jasen, you have a very impressive tank!! I just got a 30 gallon tall that I'm planning to upgrade the 10 to someday ;)

SCreefer: I think I cycled it for a month before adding any livestock and the 10G has been up since june and the pico since may.

 

[SCreefer]

do you use RO water?

:bowdown: You have an AWESOME NANO! :bowdown: I hope that I have much success as you do. What filter system are you running? What lights are you using?

Wow!

I was told I was crazy to do a small salt water tank, but a reef? Amazing! I'm new to this hobby, please forgive if I over react. I have a small salt water 6 gal Nano Cube. Here is a pic:

Well I don't think it is bad for starters. It's a Fish Only, I will get a fish this Friday. Keep up the good work.

Thanks,

There is nothing wrong with having a small reef tank, you just have to keep a vigil eye on it, you are using a much smaller amount of water therefore you do not have much dilution of any harmfull substances. Thats why it bigger is easier on the saltwater side... and when I say easier I mean easier to keep alive.

 

[aquariumgirl]

SCreefer: I use tap water, but I do a 30% water change once a week.
Raul Salcedo: I have an AquaClear 110 and a bak pak skimmer, and the lights I'm running a 65W 50/50 PC.
2wenty2win: Thanks!! a 6 gallon cube would make a great nano reef!! I couldn't see the picture but I'm sure it's off to a great start.

 

[raul salcedo]

What made you choose the aqua clear 110? Are you using the media or something else

 

[aquariumgirl]

I chose the AquaClear 110 b/c I could stuff little bits of live rock and the skimmer sits nicely on the back of the supported filter. For media I have live rock, and carbon sponge and purigen. Also the filter is the source of all the current in the tank.

 

[raul salcedo]

How much Purigen do you use and how often do you change it? Are you changing all carbon pad and Purigen on a weekly basis when you make your water changes?

 

[fishman]

Very nice .Looks like u have done your homework. Keep up the good work.

 

[aquariumgirl]

Purigen is rechargeable, so I recharge it once a month. I change the carbon sponge every three weeks about.

 

[raul salcedo]

Do you have any updates pic of your tank? I would like to see a pic of the filter set-up with live rock and skimmer? :^:

 

[aquariumgirl]

Sure, I'll get the pictures tomorrow evening sometime.

 

[aquariumgirl]

Here you go!!
