    Just bought 24Gal Nano Cube..!!

    the ceramic rings will cause nitrate blooms, so most reefers take them out. sorry i meant to say put the carbon back in and replace it every month or so. carbon will pull out most toxins that corals release and it will keep your water clear and smelling clean. the ROWA PHOS will be fine for now...

    please help identify (red) plant/algae/whatever this is...

    looks like some sort of aglae or spunge. in the wild there are creatures that live off that stuff so its always in check. but in the aquarium thats not the case so you might have to physically remove it unless you find something to eat it.

    SUBSTRATE/SAND TYPES?!?!?!?

    general rule of thumb is a pound per gallon. some like more and some less. its all what prefer. i run about thirty five in my 24gallon cube and i havent had any nitrate problems. i also do bi weekly water changes, plus i target feed my tank so there isnt any waste. HTH. welcome to nanotank.

    Just bought 24Gal Nano Cube..!!

    welcome to nanotank 1. youll want to pull the ceramic rings out and replace the carbon. IMO i just run LR rubble in the two chambers and carbon in with your heater and pump. i have been running this way for years and have had very good success. other ppl run it differently, no right or wrong...

    Day 2 of first nano tank

    welcome to nanotank. well youll want to wait about three weeks for the cycle to finish before you can add anything. keeping your lights off during this period will keep algae growth to a minimal. if you dont have a test kit already, i would get one, and you can always get your LFS (local fish...

    Protein skimmer set up.

    thats about right for a new skimmer. a really good skimmate (thats what the stuff in the collection cup is called) should be green, darker the better, and smell earthy. if you have very good water conditions then the skimate wont be green, but more clear. HTH

    Caulerpa

    youll want to get rid of that stuff ASAP, it can spread like wild fire. it also can be good if kept in an refugium, the down side is that it can go sexual (it bleachs out and dies) and leach everything it pulled out of your water back in. then your tank could crash. so in experience i just get...
