:welcome to Nanotank.com! :lol: It is OK to use periods. :cool1: What kind of fish besides a clown fish (which clown fish) and what coral? Each animal needs has their own set of requirements and thus before any of those questions can be answered we need to know what you want.

T5s don't put off that much heat. I run 6 four foot bulbs and they don't affect my heat at all on my 90 gallon.

Clean up crew. Hermits, snails, and the like. But honestly water changes and light feedings will help the algae kill itself off.

For reefs "filtered" should mean RO or RO/DI water. If you are using something like a brita fitler then you are not getting a clean enough water source. If you can get it a dollar a gallon and you are willing then I say go for it. But 12.95 for 5 gallons is a bit steep.

Sorry to hear you getting out of the hobby for now. I hope you get back in soon! Great deal by the way. :cry:

No experience here. Any links for info?

Initial cost is high for a decent RO or RO/DI unit true. But during a single year you will get your money back and more. 12.95 for 5 gallons which may last 2-3 water changes and if you do a water change every week (I would in my opinion) then that is: 52 changes = $224.00 a year if you get...

He he. :lol: (but this has been moved to the lounge to keep fish keeping and fish joking in the right "tank")

Yep. That's new all right! So clean too!

:welcome to Nanotank.com! Looks like you've done a bit of research. The koralia nano may get you the flow you will need with a single powerhead in a 5.5 gallon. One thing I think that need be pointed out is since you will be using premixed salt water you need fresh top off water...

I like the all in ones for the simplistic side. (plus the lid will keep the firefish from "carpet surfing") Red Sea, Oceanic, JBJ, Aquapod are the more common all in ones that can do almost anything you want. The tank you want will depend on what kind of livestock you want to keep. If money...

Wow. :shock: That is beauty of a tank! How about some shots of the "works"?

Nice hitch hiker! I love the trochus snails. As of yet I've never had to pick any of them up off the sand bed.

I'm digging the spire. What sand are you going to use?

I've only seen them eat sick and dying coral (natural selection style).

From what I can see I agree with you.

I've not had a cardinal fish nor heard much about them. Nice looking fish! I don't think I would add anymore fish though. Any photos? :cool1:

I love debate! :) True for nanos I don't think a protein skimmer is *needed*, but they sure don't hurt! It's just honestly most decent skimmers cost so much and in a tank that should get the water changed weekly (or every other week) I don't see a great return on investment. Only things I...

:welcome to Nanotank.com! Honestly before thinking what tank to get a better place to start I've found is to figure out what you want IN your tank. Then you can get the tank that will best fit your budget and livestock needs. The eternal filter with LR is fine, I've seen lots of tanks use...

Actually the sexy shrimp do nice in groups too. We aren't saying to not get a specific fish, after all it is YOUR tank. Just take the information and check up what you can provide for your pets. I *think* a baby six line wrasse *may* be OK...but that could be pushing it. As it would grow up...
