!!!NWFD1725 JBJ 28GNC Finally!!!

Thank you very much for the kind words its killing my patience though and i really like your tank also Karma for everything Cira050

 

and what tank are you setting up now

 

if you got the money get the halides, you will not regret it... you can run a 70w no way too bright for that aquarium, in fact if i were you i'd get a 150w...

Aquarium Lighting for Nano Reef Aquariums: Viper HQI Metal Halide Clamp Lamp

i run a MH on a 20g and all i have are polyps and softies, they love it 100%.

that being said it's an extra expense, your lighting looks good as it is. i'm just very pro halide, i was so impressed with mine when i got it... i wished i had it from day 1, it makes all the $$ you sink into your addiction seem worth it.

 

thank you for the help i have considered that light my lfs has it on a nano cube 24 and i love that tank also question for anybody when my nitrite hits 0 and my nitrates are almost at 0 can i add a fish or should i wait, also should i do a water change and clean my stuff before adding that fish if yes, or should i wait on the water change please reply i want to get this answered before the time gets here

 

yeah you're ready for a fish...

most fish are pretty tolerant of nitrates... corals are much more sensitive to them... as long as your ammonia and nitrite are zero you're ready for fish.

no need for a WC yet... do one every 2 weeks or so after you get your new fish... personally I don't do WC's that much...

personally i think WC's are a crutch to fix other problems with tank balance... you need to do a little bit every now and then just to add trace elements and minerals and such but other than that using WC's to maintain water quality means you need better skimming etc... now with a nano tank sometimes you just ahve to do WC's as you jsut can't fit all that equipment around them... unless you got a fuge... (which i do)

 

thank you for the help right now my ammonia is been a 0 for couple days now but my nitrite is stuck at 1

also im see some small white starfish on the glass along with what i ithink to be pods is that a good sign and my coraline is coming back out on my piece of live rock

 

Diatoms!!!

 

Go to your lfs and pick up some astrea snails they rock at cleaning diatoms. As for your sand nothing beats nassacarious snails, I love watching mine at feeding time. Its crazy how fast these snails can move! They are inverts so make sure you slow drip them for like 1.5-2 hours. I love your tank and your br, I think my next tank will be a cube I love the look of them.

 

thank you for the kind words gotta wait till my nitrites to drop

 

i should be getting in my calcium magnesium and kalk suppliments tom also ordered two sapphire nano media reactors to fit in my chambers one for carbon got an idea for the other one stay tuned, also picking up magnetic fuge light and timer powerstrip
