I apologize, 60 watt

I just found this led fixture. This is a 30watt led system. Do you think it would be adequate? EVO Quad Clip 3W Timer LED Aquarium Light Nano Marine Coral Reef 20x 3W FOWLR http://bit.ly/YyrOqJ

Tested the nitrates again and the partial water change took it down to 10ppm.

Starting to come out!

Exactly! Ok I won't worry about the neutralizers. :) you guys are very helpful! Thanks! Any other tips in general.

How often do you think I should do the one gallon water changes? I'm thinking every week. Should it be more?

Just did a one gallon water change! So hopefully that will knock the nitrates down.

Ok awesome thanks! Just did my water tests. And ph is 8.2, ammonia 0.25ppm (little high for my liking), nitrate 0ppm, and nitrate 20ppm. :/ so partial water change for the nitrate today and is .25ppm ammonia enough to try an ammonia remover?

What do you guys think of this led fixture? This is more in my range of price. EVO 12" LED Aquarium Light Nano Marine Coral Reef Cichlid 6x 3W 3 Watt 30 cm http://bit.ly/125z85m

I have thought about switching to LEDs and probably will in the near future

I think generally I've heard the rule of thumb is three watts per gallon? Especially in such a shallow tank? And the anemone is more than happy. I was just curious about the corals. The pipe organ coral started opening up a little more.

About 2 months

I have a 15w coral sun t-8 fixture. Water ph is 8.2, nitrites, nitrates and ammonia were all at 0ppm last I tested. (I need to test again!)

Hello all! I started this nano reef so that I can have a thriving mini reef for my daughter to grow up with. She already spends a ton of time just staring at her nemo. Anyways. I would love anyone's opinion on the placement of my new corals. I just introduced a green star polyp frag, pipe organ...
