Hi Guys, Here's some infor and pictures of my rather large sized Nano reef. Size of Reef : 24 square footprint by 18 inch height Lightings : 8 T5s (7 aquaz bluepro and one aqualight blue bulb) under a customised retrofit by our very own dr evil. Filtration : 8 by 30 inch tall RM skimmer 20 kg of LRs Water returns and flow : Resun MD 40 and Maxijets CA levels : 420 ppm Alk : 10.4 dkH Nitrate : undetectable Phosphate : undetectable and here's the first picture.

Here's the link

Hi guys, Heres a picture of a Garden Eel in my so called large Nano... Cute fella.

Nope. they are not the same.

Did a search on RC and came up with the following.. These nudis are extremely hard to kill!!!! There a few suggestions. 1)Potassium Permanganate dip . (anyone knows how I can get it locally??) recommended dosage for dip. 25 mg per gallon. 2)Kents Poly Ox.. (what the h**k is this?) 3)Someone in RC mentioned that tetra marine oodmed consist of the chemical Quinine Hydrochloride dihydrate in 1261.7 mg as the major element. Was wondering the few tubes of quinine that I'm holding from the last "flatworm busting" event here would work....? Finally, elimination with biological means don't seems to work.

Sixliners even as adults are relatively small. The only issue with them is that once they are adaoted to a reef begin to show an extremely aggressive attitude towards new additions. I nickname them the "small terror"

Ok... this is the latest update.. According to valuable advice from our very own Danano, I have applied superglue to the underside of the montis (both caps and encrusting kinds) that is after I have siphon out the adults using a 10ml syringe. The superglue is applied and allowed to flow over the dead areas covering and suffocating all remaining egg clusters. (since such would take 6 months to hatch and would bring another term of grief). All montis affected are placed into a holding reef which would also be home to 2 starved sixliner and canary wrasse. I have also purchased a small sixliner and canary for my main reef... let's hope their small size would give my ###### shrimps longer lifespan... Jus curious, any other fishes that would peove valuable for the elimination of parasites?

Jus did a inspection on the montis.... and to my horror found much more lurking beneath the monti caps....

you only need to feed them if the clams are small... larger ones would have gather enough zooxanthelle to generate foodsource... Only the gigas maintain their ability to filter feed even as adults.... BTW, nice clams you have there.... do let me know whenever you go clam hunting.. would like to tompang some.

Update : FR sold. one unit of CR with 11 kg of ARM media and eheim 1250 pump.... and 2nd chamber remaining... Heres a pic of how the 2nd chamber would look like (minus the media)

Wow... this $300 coral thing is getting some really cool attention here...

I fell sick roughly 2 and half years ago.... never recovered...

You can build them with PVC pipes ....

wanna contribute some colours to my not so purple and blue reef?? in turn, I can contribute various shades of brown to yours..

Site's not available yet .... but do let me know what you are keen in....

Also a spare 30 inch total height by 7 inch Calcium Reactor for sale... Unit comes with a eheim 1250 pump and 11 kg of ARM..... Pls PM me or contact me at 94896450 if you are keen.... BTW, Unit's brand new... And a CR second chamber 20 inches tall that's able to house up to 3 kg for sale.....

Hi Guys, Got a unit of the above with the Eheim Compact 600 pump for sale.. Used for 6 months. Pls PM me ...

Not yet... as the eels dun normally surface often so gonna be a little difficult to get some pics.... will try when I'm feeding them...

Jus wondering if there are any other reefers out there keen on starting up Nanos, Maybe could get them together, get a reliable tankmaker and order in a large sheet of starpire glass, get it cut into suitable sizings and making multiple tanks. Jus wondering how the sizings and price of 6 mm starppire glass? and what the total cost of each unit would be like? Anyone interested? Eh... RAV 65, sorry for the off topic post..

Hehe..... Nanos with gobies are a good way to start them... Surfedelic, I have my sand bed only 1 inch thick and the deepest 2 inches in my reef. The two garden eels so far in my reef's doing pretty fine.

Putting a external overflow box to this reef of yours and a sump might be a good idea..... gives you much more space in the already small area... The additional water volume thru the addition of a sump would definitely help in the stability of watyer parameters.... Anyway, if this idea of yours ever come to pass.... Welcome to the world of the Nanos.....

Ancelot, If the birdnest really have purple polyps as stated.... I would like to take one....

Very nice.... Like the way your stuff grows in your reef....
