Grim's 210g (Final update.)

Sweet tank.

 

so u mp40 or 60 ?

 

and is be mixed reef or sps ?

 

Thank you very much! It's really coming together now!!! It's much much more colored in.

Two MP60s and a MP10 on the back glass. (I'm about to pull that unit though because it's not necessary and use it instead on my frag system I'm setting up.

Mixed reef. I do lean pretty heavy towards SPS though.

 

Just ordered my 210g "quick crew" from Reefcleaners.org. I should also get my order from Dr. Tim's in the next day or so!!!

Should help clean up the tank good bit!! I am to a point of untraceable on both N and P... But still have dirty looking sand and clean the glass a lot. I realized that my clean up crew is weak and not diverse. So... Now I got a proper clean up crew and some bacteria to help in the process!

How on earth do I go about adding all these critters?!?!

----------210g quick crew------------

205 Dwarf Ceriths - small cleaners that get to the nooks and crannies. Feed on diatoms, cyano, algal detritus, and film algae. Nocturnal cleaners that leave the sandbed at night to search for food.

60 Nassarius - scavengers that will eat leftover food and some fish waste. They will stir sand, but can also be kept in bare bottom tanks.

75 Florida Ceriths - small cleaners that get to the nooks and crannies. Feed on fine hair algae, diatoms, cyano, algal detritus, and film algae. Nocturnal cleaners that leave the sandbed at night to search for food.

40 Large & 20 Small to Medium Nerites - We are currently offering the longer lived and quite hardy Antillean Nerite. (Nerita fulgurans). It grows to a nice size,and consumes a good deal of diatoms, cyano, algal detritus, and film algae. It will also consume some fine hair algae. A nocturnal herbivore that will feed more often at night, they tend to need some time to adjust to the limitations of the aquarium during their first week.

 

I just put mine in my tank lol. I thin there are instructions on their web site.

 

Did you just drop them all in the corner? That's what I have done in the past.. but I've never bought more than maybe 15-30 at one time... Never 300 at once that's for sure!!

 

Yeah you can drop em all in one corner. Within a few hours, the dwarfs will go into mass exodus mode and start up the glass. I dump all into one corner so after a day or so, all snails that are alive have moved out of that corner. It makes removal all the little guys that didn't make it easier. Congrats on all of your recent purchases! ;D

EDIT: How thick is your glass? How has the MP10 worked on thick glass? EcoTech claims it will not hold on glass thicker than 10mm.

 

Thank you!! Christmas has been great for my tank set up!!!

My glass is about a half inch thick and I have had no problems with my mp10 at all. It's stuck and done exactly what it was supposed to do!! Lining it up through the black paint has been difficult though.

After a small change to my mp 60s and my rock structure I have found the mp 10 to not be needed at all so it's going to the frag tank!
