I just setup my first nano, I'm downgrading from a 90g and moved ls, lr from this tank to the nano. It looks great!
Based on scouring this forum and others I have configured the nano as follows:
1. Cassette mod and notches at the top of the intake for better surface skimming (this is a 2005 nano dx).
2. MaxiJet 900 pump to replace stock.
3. Chamber 1 filled with lr rubble, but top 1" or so is filter floss.
4. Some lr rubble at bottom, but will be putting chaeto in towards the top, cut out vinyl on back for a light.
5. Chamber 3 (return) open with exception of return pump & heater.
For those putting lr in chambers 1-3, do you ever take the rock out completely to clean? If so how often? I'm hoping my floss in chamber 1 catches most of the gunk, which I'll be replacing about once a week.
Thanks
