Joe Blow's 10 gal nano thread

It's 10 total gallons but has built in filter so the showcase area is limited. So small is the key here.

i put the 18" one in my eclipse and i like it vary much

 

what kind of substrate is that youre running? If its a month old, I would ditch it. Im not trying to be pushy, just trying to save you some serious headache down the road..

By the way, Welcome to 3reef. You are going to learn so much here its gonna make your head spin ;D

 

Thx. I'll take a look at what they have.

Yea me and mission talked about that. I'm going to remove it and replace with sand as soon as I can afford some. I want to get the skimmer first though. Thx

 

the only thing i dont like about it is the bulbs in the 18" are on one side and the cord is out the other so to get the light in the center of the tank the cord has to run over the top of the light. i also have a built in filter so that was a problem for me

 

Can you post top down picture of the way the built in filtration is laid out? I'm sure we can find a skimmer that will work well for you.

 

Sweet, that's a scaled down version of my tank. You should be able to run a Aqua C or Coralife HOB skimmer with the pump in the first chamber.

You can also mod the set/dry to be a fuge very easily. All you have to do is glue a piece of plexi or glass to the last baffle before return to block the passage under that baffle. This will make it an overpass baffle so you can grow macro in that chamber instead. You display light should throw enough light back there to grow it just fine.

 

yea i like that little tank you can get a skimmer in there im sure the bio cube skimmer will fit but i dont know how well it works. i dont have any room at all in my tank
