10gall nano journal - Aquarium Advice

blazeyreef · 06-10-2008, 09:35 PM

Well I have, in the past, been a failure at keeping journals. Well I set this baby up about, a month or so ago, maybe more. The cycle is well done, all I am waiting on now to start is some funds LOL. I am planning on prob. either a 65 or 80 watt CF light, havnt decided. Filter is a aquaclear 50 with LR rubble, the tank has about 17 pounds of LR/base in it. One 165gph right now but will be adding another one. I plan to get maybe a few inverts tomorrow, maybe some small hermits. Here's a pic

nice lookin tank

how hard is it to make a nano reef? i know the smaller the tank the harder it is to sustain everything, but is it really that difficult?

blazeyreef · 06-18-2008, 05:57 PM

so far its not that hard, though I only have a few inverts currently. You have to keep on top of water changes IME but other than that, its not that hard, just takes time and expenses

how much is your tank costing you?
