What do you intend to keep ? The reason I am asking is if it is a all fish with live rock tank - you can actually scape it higher - it should looks much better.

[blueheaven]

yeah you can try stacking the LR instead of placing them on the sand

[sps_dude]

more rocks will be more nicer and it will also help you in the biological process...... my 2 cents worht... how about some specs...... would reccomend u to use either a weipro or red sea prizm skimmer........ my two cents worth....

[Marine Newbie]

I guess i will just settle for a Fish with live rocks tank cos on low budget. Corals might be a bit too ex for me at the moment. The tank is residing in my hostel at the moment.. i still studying.. haha..

It's a 2ft by 1ft by 1ft tank.. running on a cannister filter at 1200L/Hr with 2 PL 55W tubes and an airstone skimmer.. Around 10kg of liverocks..

nice clear water.. do away with tat air-driven skimmer if possible..

[Marine Newbie]

Is that air driven skimmer useful? No budget and space to change to a better one.. shld i just use that or just down use a skimmer?

get a weipro lor.. cost less than $20, even $10.. just ask ard.. 2011 will be sufficient for u.

welcome to the nano world its great theat u went str8 with 2x55watt pls as that in the furture if u are going reef.... its would be much easier u can be somewhat surprised that pl s in a small tank can really sustain and grow lots of stuff.... IMO get a weipro if u r really on a budjet but try to get a low wattage pump to drive the skimmer or your water temp can really go through the roof

happy reefing

at the back of the tank stack LR higher cover the whole back ground .. then infront stack LR create like cave.. think it will look shiok

[Marine Newbie]

If i add live rocks now will i have to start the cycling process again? or can i just add bit by bit?

[iewnehz]

add bit by bit souldn't be a prob

hw come ur LR arrangment like so messing =X Rearrange it maybe look more nicer.. no offence.. juz advice.. =)

[Marine Newbie]

Other comments? Will try to add more liverock bit by bit... hhaha, hope it tourns out nicer, though i quite like the arrangements now.. hehe

[Gouldian]

Noticed most your LRs are boulders. If you are looking at adding more LRs, look for those that look like branches, they are light and will spice up the tank better than boulders.

Just my 2 cents.

Here's a pic of my Bubble Anemone, too bad my common clown doesn't go in... think maroon clown will...

I had a Red Sea Prizm Skimmer for my 2footer not long ago before upgrading. Bought 2nd hand at the SellOff/Pasar Malam forum.

IMO you should consider

[Marine Newbie]
