    Starting up a lil tank

    I tried 3 power heads, korilla pico 180, rio 50 & rio 180. The 50 worked best as the shape turns water over and the powerhead arms are able to be angled so slightly. I made a hob refugium from a medium breeder box, & korilla 50 heater. Par 38 led- Had no issues but I had to much rock work to...

    Starting up a lil tank

    Hey. Its 6 gallons. I tried a nano reef with this very tank. Could be done. Flow was a major problem. Imo- no sand could work. cleaning is a major pain, keep it simple. Equipment looks ugly as you cant hide it.

    Any thoughts on these LED's or anyone using these? So tired of researching LED's as main lighting for one of my nano tanks, (6G). I am thinking 1- of the minis or 1- of the "beams" would be equivalent as 2- reefbrite strips. Better? Looks like better spread than the overpriced AI Sol...

    Algae type?

    I think i know where the phosphates came from, (rodi is going) .....if its not a to intense light anyway. Im just worried its dinos or cyano. Please help me narrow this down so I can begin to eradicate before it spreads. Maybe adding a phosphate reactor to this nano. Thanks

    Challenging 8G. Nano reef

    I went with the 18x3w. 12 whites & 6 blues. Cant remember brand cree?? Would like more blue hint, but I am not good with lighting terminology, or lighting. Everything else makes involved here sense so far but the lighting. It only raised the temp 0.1 degree, so pretty nice of that. I only...

    Installed new ro/di..... Yeah baby! But cycle question again. Hope this is my head getting impatient. readings: Am- 0- NitrIte- <5 NitrAte-40 Ph-7.8 Salanity-1.025 Nitrite has stayed here for about 5 days. Keeping a spreadsheet. Is this a normal high?

    Challenging 8G. Nano reef

    Oh, sorry i missed the (2), salinity is 1.025. As far as the heat, with the heater off its staying around 73.5. That was consistent over a few days. I was running the heater for the cycle, as I am under the assumption its better to be hot for the BB. Please correct me if I am wrong. I...
