I seriously doubt that washing your filter did any harm. It should be cleaned out weekly. The water change might have been the culprit but only 5%. That is so small.
Any updates on the tank? I love nanos under 10g! :mrgreen:
Hi Jillian,
Did you have a specific question we can help with? SW is confusing at first but with research at sites like this, you'll be a pro in a few months.
How's the tank coming along? Do you have an update?
I'd think RO would be okay for a couple of months but I'd keep it in a dark place and fully sealed. I got big white jugs from the LFS. I'd mix as needed.
Anyone else?
Sounds like you're on track. I order all my live rock from www.premiumaquatics.com which is nice enough to sponsor our website so support them if you can. They also seem to have the best prices and I called them and had them cherry pick me small nano size rock when I last ordered. It was nice...
You have quite the predicament don't you. Hmmm...this one is so hard. I guess I just don't even know how you'd get started.
No, I wouldn't use tap water unless you can get your hands on a RO/DI unit. Might not be a bad idea with all your other tanks.
Any more thoughts?
This looks amazing! You going?
I live in Portland, OR and there just isn't anything like this here. Maybe I should organize one...if only the time..
:razz:
Goby and Pistol Shrimp was hands down my favorite purchase ever made for my nano. You will spend hours upon hours watching them work together. $450 seem extremely high but prices are totally different everywhere. I paid no more than $70 for my combo.
What did you decide?
