SRC TOTQ Winner bellinayu Posted July 3, 2010 SRC TOTQ Winner Share Posted July 3, 2010 Just setup an 1.5 ft marine tank with Eheim 2042 hang filter and coolwork chiller. Temperature set at 27c. Need some guidance and please give some comments? My advise for nano tanks is to keep it simple and don't overstock and over crowd yr tank. 1. Scape with few 2-3 large pcs of LRs so that fishes have more room to swim 2. Cycle yr tank for 1 mth without adding any livestock. Add bacteria daily for the first 2 weeks and then twice weekly after that or see dosing instructions. When cycling, you don't have to turn on the lights and chiller. While cycling, you can add a few cleaning crew such as Astrea snails, scarlet hermit crabs. 3. Test perimeters before adding LS. Nitrite and Ammonia should be zero 4. Add peaceful fishes like dart fishes, pipe fishes or gobies. 5. Add some softies like zoas, ricodeas, mushys and then easy LPS. Avoid sun corals unless you are going to target feed them. Avoid stuff like coco worm, Cauniflower unless you are feeding them with pytoplankton. Nano tanks has its own beauty as well.

I collect sea water from the sea side can? this is a big no no.. do not collect water from the seaside and put into your tank.. it's not filtered and would pollute your tank...
