2 feet paradise part II

[hammy]

finally my nano tank in my room is somewhat complete , decicded to post some pic on a lazy sunday afternoon. all comments are welcomed.

currently FOWLR and decided to go into mini reef after 15 october as all fishes are currently under hypo .

[hammy]

full tank picture with cabinet. quite small and comparatively quiet .

no sump due to space constraint.

viewing tank from the left side

[hammy]

viewing from the right

[hammy]

some equipment

skimmer : red sea skimmer with chemical filtration basket filled with phosguard from seachem

lighting: HO T5 2 x 24 watt AAP retrofit bought from aquamarine with 2 x 4.5 watt moonlight

aqua medic ocean white 10000k

aqua medic ocean blue true actinic

1 X AC taiwan fan

really strong . from petmart. sit infront of my tank also can feel the breeze

only downside is that evaporation rate quite high. able to maintain a small tank to 27. 5 avg

[hammy]

main filtration is eheim classic 2215 with 1.2 kg of biohomes and eheim coarse pad. sitting nicely in the cabinet.

the dual valve is a must for maintainence purposes . without that , flooding my room is super easy

[hammy]

eden 212 is use as a wave maker . use to use 228 , realise it heat the tank quite fast and after my c. royal gramma and one of my true perc is stuck in the wavemaker and died @#$%^ , decided to decommission it and change it to a smaller one instead

[hammy]

side track . past glory

[hammy]

some common addictive that all of us are familiar

[hammy]

moonlight in action . nicely fitted in the retrofit , great workmanship

[hammy]

my flame . most gracious fish in the whole tank

[hammy]

NH3 : 0 using seachem ammonia alert

NO2 : 0 using tetra

NO3 : unknown , but i know should be high as diatom sloing dominating.

pH : 8.0 to 8.2 using tropic marine

using tropic marine triple buffer to buffer kH and pH . pH tend to drop , dunno whether is it due to hypo .

anyway all fishes are healthy.

LS: regal blue tang , hawaii yellow tang , true percula and flame angel.

not intending to add anymore .

my juvenile yellow tang is not eating ... argh !

change 20 % weekly using red sea salt. last time use marine environment but find it too ex. tried tropic marine , will say it's one of the best but still ex.

[hammy]

dory , nemo and marlin ...

anyway the small one die tragic in eden 228.

[hammy]

intended upgrade , maybe a auto water top up . comfortably without a sump , a better skimmer . anyone has idea how to wean the yellow tang to eat .

tried garlicguard mysis and brine , formulae one and two ,maybe live brine ??

[hammy]

all comment welcome.

very very empty now . haiz...

Potential NAno...nice

[Dispar_Anthias]

eh i dun think the blue tang is suitable for a nano...

Its a tang, potential to be huge fish and can no way fit into that tank

[hobbes]

Well done! Nice tank...

I suggest, keep it up!!

Dont add more than two more fishes and all, you should focus now on making ur fishes happy, maybe the food intake, vitamins and all.

Try making ur fish last for 1-2years! I got a good friend whos fish lasted 3 YEARS until he murdered it haha.

Cheers, i love fishes.

[hammy]

Potential NAno...nice

just that it is empty now , just to get rid of the ich. will dedicate my heart in marine keeping

[hammy]

yup i agree and i see huge blue tang. will sell once it get too big . really love the intense blue . but i must say it is one of the most interesting fish in the tank . very vibrant and greedy.

now who want my tang when it grow up . provided it survive the hypo ordeal.
