I built my own led into the top of the tanks metal grate

But Ik reefbreeders is selling a new nano light that should be able to fit up there. My tank is ready to go just have to stop being lazy and get some corals

 

How much did the fixture cost you to build?

 

Get a Vortech MP10 VorTech ™ MP10 | EcoTech Marine

 

It does look like you're a little sparse on flow. an MP10 may be overkill for 6 gallons, though. Look into Hydor Koralia nano's. 2 should do the trick.

 

Although, with the way the Fluvals are set up, you may have to get an MP10 to get more flow.. Could you handle wires running on the inside of your tank?

 

Perhaps. Mabye i could fit the nano under the aquaclear? Love the mp10s and hate the price.

 

then get a wp10

 

Alright, now i've really got an emergency on my hands.
My main tank still has ammonia, I have let it sit since its spike in hopes that it will cycle.
Today I come home and my 5g cycless quarantine has .5 ppm of ammonia. My clowns gonna start going down again if I don't do something, not to mention I haven't been able to get him to eat for a week now.

What do I do?!!

 

I would call your lfs and ask if they can hold him for you while your tank cycles. If thats not possible you need to do water changes very frequently on your quarantine

 

More flow may be the answer?

"Inadequate Flow and Poor Aquascaping Cause Detritus Traps

If there is improper or inadequate flow, especially under the rock, an abundance of detritus may settle in these pockets causing nitrates and phosphates to rise high enough to start killing livestock. Detritus may also accumulate in filters (including filter media), bioballs, tubes or anywhere there is inadequate flow.

Prevention: Ideally all water should go through the filtration system on a regular basis. There should be no static water anywhere in the tank. Aquascape your tank so that water can enter the caves and holes in the rock and leave through a different opening. Avoid pockets in the rock that have an opening but no exit. You can use small lengths of PVC pipe to prop up the rock and get more flow under it. If you do this, drill holes in the pipe for flow and so that inverts don’t get trapped in the pipe. Ensure rock is stable. Match pump capacity to the size of your tank. Ask fellow aquarists what pumps they use. Too much flow can stir up sand and cloud the water or cause fish to become stressed."
