Saltwater & Reef

10gal_nano · 08-03-2014, 12:32 AM

Hi everyone, as you may know I have a 10 gallon nano reef. It has been fun but the saltwater bug bit me hard and now I have purchased a jbj 30 rimless.

Started two days ago. Put sand and rock in yesterday.

Sand in water is still clearing up.

I used rock from my established tank and 23 pounds of dry rock.

I just upgraded my media baskets to run poly-filter as well as stock filter media.

Why put a lid on it? Rimless tanks are supposed to be open top

I hope this will be like your first build thread that you started what seems like a long time ago. Your hobby has come a long way. Awesome job!

Are you going to get a controller or is that a waste of time for you?

Thanks! I certainly have learnt a lot since when I started. Controller for light? It's a 350 not 360 so no controller. Controller comes with powerhead though

I meant like an apex or a reef keeper. I flew by the part about the pumps coming with one.

Ahh. Too expensive. Maybe later on. Who wants to see a pic of the tank now?

My cats always drink out my freshwater tank, the first few times before they learned that my sw tank does not taste good they had some preety funny reactions. I love having a rimless tank
