I did understand...I am just not into putting flotsam in my tank....personally.
I agree with you in Paul's tank it it quite interesting...I have read his entire thread on MR and some others that he wrote before he came sometimes to NJRC. I completely respect what he has managed to accomplish...
Lets see if I can find it.
Yep
This is what I have in the back of my nano(QT).
I put floss in the first chamber so I tank it out ever few days. Helped clean up the surface.
I had cheato behind with a light bar worked pretty well.
Who are you going to believe Phyl or something you read. ;D
6M is good 9 is stretching it. Since your one bulb is new I would set up a schedule to replace one bulb every 2-3 months.
If you can take the fish back I would strongly suggest it. If it won't eat it is going to starve. Better you get a fish that can live in your tank.
The goby on the other side is a great fish to keep. I just got a pair from AO that are in my QT and they are little pigs and very interesting to watch.
While I commend you all for recycling, I honestly just don't get it. I mean I understand the concept but why not use a seashell if you don't already have a graveyard of turbos? I guess if you like the look fine, and Paul's tank has a certain charm because his is different.
I guess what I am...
There are some others like the shaving brush plant that grown in the sand that are attractive, turtle grass is another. They are supposed to be grazer resistant...but I found conchs ate the shaving brush plant.
Greg's tanks with the macro's are quite beautiful I wouldn't knock them.
I don't think it looks that big. I have the big rectangular one on the Tek so maybe I am used to it. Does it come with a cover for the overflow?
In any case it is a great looking medium sized tank. Congrats.
T5 hands down.
My suggestion for bulbs UVL Aquasun 10K, ATI Blue Plus, and Geissman Actinic. I don't run the ATI, may someday, but the results that I have seen are great.
Fixtures...you will want a minimum of a 4 bulb maybe 6 bulb fixture.
Tek, Catalina Aquarium(what I have), Coralife all make...
