In a nano reef, and tank sizes awsell please :)

For all of those who have 10 gallon nano reefs, could you please tell me what you stock your tank with, fish AND corals. And possibly some picks for inspirational ideas :)

No, its an internal filter not an undergravel, if the water clears up any time soon, ill take a pic and upload it here

Just two regular run-of-the-mill internal filters. One sits with intake end on substate bed, the smaller one sits at the top with, out take valve positioned so it hits the water surface creating natural aeration.

Thanks, but i have already put it in the tank as you know, could i possibly just empty, and refill over and over again? Is there a chemical or some treatment i could add? It needs to be fairly quick as my fish are in a tote atm and the water in it is fairy poor :(

I've just taken everything out of my tropical tank (including fish and water), and added some sand substrate. I washed some of the sand, and later i decided to add more, UNwashed sand. The water is unbeleivably cloudy and hast settled, im worried it may be unsettled particles harmful to fish...

What lighting (ie colour and type) do marine fish and corals prefer in nano reefs?? Or is it at owners discretion.

Ahhh thanks thats exactly what they looked like :)

What is the best substrate to use in marine aquaria, coral sand, live sand or just plain tropical sand substrate? Does it make a big difference?

So you'd recommend live sand aswell?

Hi guys :) just got a 60litre orca tank, and i need to know some alternative methods for cycling, iv heard of some using shrimp and one where you use a brackish water fish and let it die off then use it as a source of ammonia ?!? So any advice at this point is very useful :) thanks Also for the...

hi does anyone own one of these. I recently just bought on 2n hand. Where is the uv steriliser located, on the hood there are two small little containers that look like they could possibly be. Are these possibly the sterilisers?

Yeh, i guess its just i live in the uk and i cant order any :/

What fish and soft corals could i put in a 55gallon tank, roughly 36" x 24" x 16"?

Hi guys, i was lucky enough to find a large 36"x24"x16" tank (56 gallons). It is empty but previously had coldwater fish. For £80, this is a bargain. And its got a hood and i think 2 x t5 ho lights dunno why though. Just wanted to ask what equiptment do i need for the cycling process only the...

Oh :) aha i see.

Hey guys, just a q. Whats coral dipping?

Thanks, which method works better for acclimatising? And what other easy, colourful corals are there instead of this? I know that the photosynthetic corals are easy

Do you need to acclimatise corals and anemones to established tanks? Are sun corals easy to keep?

Are the lemon peels and harolds angels easy to keep? Any special requirements?
