    Adding water...

    If you don't have any livestock in the tank its not as important to match parameters but if you do then you want to match salinity (SG), pH, alkalinity, and temperature.

    My Reefer Madness Nano Tank Diary

    I also say go with a goby that will pair up with a pistol, either the yasha or the hi finned red banded along with the randalls pistol are a great nano pair IMO.

    Loc-line

    I am pretty sure I have seen a link to modular hose used when referring to locline. It seems like anything labeled aquarium automatically receives a price increase.

    Adjustable Nano Skimmer

    I think there is a cut-out near the middle of the wall seperating the second chamber from the third. You also may want to add more water to get the level in the chambers up some.

    Nano Cycle?

    :welcome to nanotank! You will have a cycle due to die-off from the new rock but it will not be anywhere near as big as it would be if you used uncured LR.

    Another lighting question

    I had xenia in my 12DX and it was pumping like crazy. I think the stock lighting will be fine for what you have described as wanting to put in the tank.

    ~*~ HeLp Me Out PLz! ~*~

    I agree, go ahead and add some. I don't know that they will help but they shouldn't hurt anything. I don't think you will get much coraline until after you have lights on the rock which you don't want until they have cured or you risk a nasty algae bloom.

    Powerhead for nano's only! Cost $10.00 can't beat that...

    At the very least they should be able to be put in service to aerate a bucket of water or mix some fresh saltwater. Thanks for the tip.

    Eddy, If you check out the second post Sadie already asked the same question and she answered that it was too early and she hadn't had her Starbucks (her coffee) yet. They are just picking on you the same way. No hard feelings, we are just poking fun.

    Starting A Tank

    A filter like a Brita is not going to remove much of the stuff we need removed from water, they are basically a carbon filter which removes chlorine, taste, etc. Using distilled water may be a good alternative for you. You don't want spring water or artesian well water or anything like that...

    PURIGEN & HYDOR FLO

    The hydor flo doesn't give you the same type of stream of water, it is more spread out so it doesn't feel like as much water is coming out of it as there actually is. You are probably getting close to the max tha the MJ900 puts out (230 gph if I recall correctly) it just isn't coming out in as...

    My Reefer Madness Nano Tank Diary

    Before you decide on your liverock check out the Pukani rock, I have a friend that just bought some from www.reefermadness.us and it is awsome. The rock has some of the most interesting shapes and tons of color. He said it was very light too. He put an 88 lb box in a 90 and says he has...
