Kimkim's pico tank(5G) log

[kimkim23]

just to add on,once you decided on ur scaping leave it as it is during cycling period at least.

each time u do water change e.g you said weekly, do not do too much water change and u have to add bacteria each time due to the fact water change DO remove unwanted waste,but at the same time bacteria gets killed too.

tks for the advise bro..guess i will be putting back my skimmer then,coz space + buget constrain so shall be satisfied with what i have now.. =)

got my N4 test kit shall test it out..damm was suppose to exchange my cheapo wavemaker but forgot to bring out when i went FS zzz.. i kindna feel my seascape very low..but guess can make it high with corals nxt time =)

[kimkim23]

js took some water test..i know its still early..6th day nia..

NH4 = 1.5mg/l (tetra test)

NO2 = 0 (API)

NO3 = 0 (API)

i couldnt find NH4 tester for API..doink

weird figures...prehapes i seascape too much today =(

Final pic of the day with skimmer back and a light i was using for my pico FW tank

[tiffanydunk]

just stick with the 1st scape, all other 4s just dun seems rite. IMHO.

[stevenkoh08]

Tks bro. This was meant to have a lagoon feel to it. I'm sure when corals are placed on nxt time it will look great. Don't want g back to the old designs coz they realli clutter up my small tank. any one can comment bout lionfish in a nano?

[ReDDeviLs]

its that a tunze nano?

looks very huge. LOL

I have nvr kept a lionfish before but just pondering - when you what to do some maintenance, isn't it a bit challenging to stick your hand in it with a lionfish in a small nano?

You new rock work once filled up with some corals will be quite nice.

if you see a nice rock with corals in future, maybe can get that and replace the flat piece one behind. just my thoughts

I suggest you go ML and have a look at the nano fishes.

Henry always have some nice cute little fishes.

Have a look at the griessingeri goby. very cute.

dun get firefish.. they might jump out of your tank.

can try getting a pistol shrimp and goby pair too.

mine is fascinating and a joy to watch.

Ehhh...no, not helping him to decomm. Collecting the blue tubs and cleaner shrimps. Maybe some fishes like the gobies if they are still alive. Victor is helping him to decomm.
