My First Saltwater Nano

[NasB]

Yea my tap is good any way, I just put conditioner in it to take no chances

 

[Macscale]

Using tap is taking chances.

Just make sure it says something like "made with reverse osmosis" on the bottle

Alright I'll get the rodi water. I think I'm going to leave the rockscape the way it is. I don't want to break the rock and it looses it's natural look.

Also will 2 coralife 50/50 20 watt each bulbs work for my tank with corals?

Most people will say no or only softies.

The thing is, I'm doing a test of them on a 10g, and so far, we only have frogspawn In there and it's doing great.

 

[NasB]

Alright, anyone know any affordable good light for my 10 gal ?

 

[Macscale]

Well, what do you plan on keeping?
Par38's are generally recommended for a 10g.

My LEDs are pretty good. The link is on page 4 of my forum. Cheap too! My forum is "10 gallon nano reef coming together"

 

[NasB]

Just like, polyps, hammer coral, frogspawn and mushrooms and I like those LEDs you have I just hate that it's on eBay.

 

[10gal_nano]

I can get you their website

 

[NasB]

Yea that'll be great

 

[10gal_nano]

I can't find it. Sorry. They come in a few days and the guy selling them has good feedback. Why don't you like eBay?

 

[Macscale]

Technically speaking, his LEDS shouldn't work. After time, they will wear down and won't support anything. Like with any light.

Par38's are the proven way to. Just because he has had success doesn't mean you will.

 

[NasB]

What wattage par38 ? Idk i never use eBay, only Amazon honestly.

 

[10gal_nano]

Oh. I have had more problems with amazon than eBay.

Look at the ones from Rapid LED. There's another one that people recommend, but I can't remember the name,

 

[10gal_nano]

Par 38 is like $100 my LEDs are only like $40

 

[Macscale]

"Your" LEDS aren't ideal.

Par38's can range anywhere from 40-100.

Why not? My corals are doing good

Why not? My corals are doing good

They haven't been tested over a long period of time. They aren't proven. For all we know they could just break in a month, or loose enough power to not support anything.
