Hey Guys, its been a while. Hope everyones well. I took a break for a while but I'm back now with a few things that are set to change.
First though I'm gonna bring everyone up to speed.
The tank was doing great. No worries. Then I lost all three fish in a month and heard the dreaded 'click-click' of doom. The little mantis took all my fish. I've been hearing him for ages but I think he just finally got big enough to take them down. I though he was a pistol shrimp the whole time.
Then the algae rolled in. And I mean tonnes. Its been a long trying battle that I'm ready to concede. Thats basically the story.
Now what I'm doing is downsizing into a 6g. I'm keeping my favourite corals and my clam and then everything else is going to the shop. My brother is taking my tank for breeding.
So I'm back for a while now, to showcase my build and to help anyone who needs it again, but atm I need a bit of help guys. I need to know what you think of the stuff I'm going to buy for my tank to keep it going. Heres a list of the stuff:
Age of Aquariums - Hydor Koralia Nano 900
Aquarium Pharmaceuticals API RENA SmartFilter Aquarium Hang On Filter 20 - The Aquarium Shop Australia
Rena SmartFilter Filter Media Phos Zorb Cartridge - The Aquarium Shop Australia
I'm going to keep my T5HO's and rig up a little fan.
I also have a few questions;
1) How many lbs of LR will I need? (6G tank)
2) Will it need cycling if I only get new sand and take the good mature LR from my old tank?
3) What does everyone think?
Great to be back guys.
