I had a stubborn outbreak of red slime cyano, awhile back, tried all the usual methods(water changes, water flow, etc), to eradicate but it came right back( I believe it was phosphate related in my case).. Finally gave one dose of Chemiclean, all traces of cyano gone in two days, water crystal...

Thanks man, much appreciated!! :thumb:

Sorry for your loss.........Here's my 6g edge after 6mos..... Black Oceleris clown Wheelers Goby Green Chromis CUC is one rather large Mexican turbo, two narcissus snails, two hermits.... Average tank temp is 80-82degrees 20% water changes weekly........ Koralia nano pump Stock Filtration...

That's been my point from the start.... ;) Agreed and thanks.

In the spirit of agreeing to disagree, comments removed.

Ok, lets read before we comment, my clown did NOT die, I'm aware garlic does not kill ich, however it did help cure my clown and prevent its return, (unless it wasn't ich in the first place) and again its not hard to find countless examples to support what I'm saying on that note. There is this...

Ok, once again, I will repeat, I have not lost a single fish, the clown recovered within a day or two with nothing more than a few garlic treatments, and that was months ago, and ich is in EVERY system depending who you ask, so please do not tell me how "happy" my fish are unless you have...

Not dismissing at all, but I researched plenty of these exact set-ups before I started and have seen many of them thrive, and this not my first saltwater tank , albeit it is my smallest. I am aware of the issues you have cited, however, in this hobby, I have learned that what works in some tanks...

And exactly how soon is that? Ich is not just beholden to nano tanks, and that was months ago, with no recurrence whatsoever. My fish are not stressed so I'm not understanding your blanket assumption that I will have problems. I understand stocking levels, and it is indeed maxed in terms of...

I've got a black Ocellaris in a 6g fluval edge nano reef and he's perfectly happy with plenty room, been in there for months... Slight ich outbreak when he was new, but that cleared up in a couple days after a few garlic soaked feedings and hes been healthy and fine ever since. Tank mates are a...

Here's my Wheeler's goby......Eats pretty much anything I throw at him....

Thanks!!! Quick update...... I added a Koralia nano pump and a Coralife 50/50 10k/actinic florescent bulb after deciding the stock LED's are not enough for the corals I've decided to use. Just had to do a slight modification of the hood cover. (I posted pics on the "My Fluval Edge" thread). My...

The changes in lighting.....This really brought out the colors on the coralline covered live rock and fish, and should now be coral ready in a few weeks......Pic order is Coralife only, Stock LED only, Mixed, and Mixed wide view......

Thanks for that link.....After some consideration I decided to go with some additional lighting after all for when I start adding corals, based on advice from a few of my favorite LFS's around town. But, I didn't want to do it with expensive high intensity LED lighting that cost more than the...

Thanks!! Yours is looking great too!! Question, I like that LED strip, where did you find it?

Nice tank!!!

Same one I have, no corals yet but doing outstanding so far after almost a month of being set up. Black clown, Green Chromis, Wheeler's Goby and CUC all doing fine. I'll post a few pics to show night and day set-up. Next additions will be corals and a circulation pump.....I think the lighting...

New LED lighting as it came on my Edge........

Here's mine so far, no corals yet.........Wheeler's Goby, Black Ocellaris Clown and a Green Chromis...... Turbo snail and Hermit crabs for CUC.....

I used Caribsea Aragonite Live sand........I had to get a 10lb bag because that's the smallest I could find, but I only used about half the bag in the tank, so I resealed the rest and just stored it for now... I used a couple lb of uncured live rock, about a lb of base rock, and then added a...

I have the same powder sand, so as I said, I stir the sand up quite a bit but it doesn't stay cloudy more than a few hours not days. Once the tank is full, don't really know what you can do to prevent it even when doing water changes. Although I generally siphon the water with a rubber tube...

I haven't had any issues since my initial set-up about a week ago,(took almost a day for the tank to clear), and I've been in the tank re-arranging live rock and such a few times since then and stirred it up pretty good. I've siphoned out some water as well to keep it from overflowing when I...

I just started my Edge 6 gallon saltwater about 6 days ago. Started with live sand, a couple pds live rock, some base rock and now cycling. Now I broke a golden rule, and added a damsel around the fourth day, but it's eating well, and progressing fine so far, so no worries. This isn't my...
