[Live rock curing]

Hi all. Ive managed to buy some live rock from a local guy for cheap. I have yet to setup my tank and am going overseas for a month. The live rock has some corals on it. Mushrooms and a fire coral. I want to try keep those alive. Currently its ina clear tub with some powerheads. I was thinking of leaving it near a window for light. What would be the best thong to do here thanks.

[Filtration and movement]

The tank is a 60 x 30 x 30cm rimless. Im planing on putting an acrylic top on it would that be bad regarding oxygenation?  il definitely check out ato.

Thanks

 

 

[Filtration and movement]

Hi all

im beginning to set up a 60l nano reef after ages of saving. Im on a budget and wondering what is the best combination for water movement and filtration. Im thinking of buying a seachem tidal or aquaclear 70 and using no wavemaker. Im planing on keeping softies maybe euphyllia. is it best to use a larger hob filter without a wave maker or a smaller hob like a 35 and a wavemaker such as jeboa rw-4. ?

side question: can you get macroalgae for refugiums in NZ?

Thanks for any input

 breeding fish is quite commitment I see, so I'm gonna stick to aquascaping for now

[Are my sepae tetras are sick??]

When i feed them they all flock at the food and eat. They swim as normal. The one i think has dropsy is fatter than the other serpaes and the other one has an  inflated area around tail and puffy eyes. I have 9 neon tetras and they are eating and behaving as normal. I feed repashy every 3-4 days, the tempreature is 23 C and i do a 50% water change every sunday but recently i  skipped a week. I dont have test kits.

[Are my sepae tetras are sick??]

another serpae also has dry kinda scaly parts around tail and puffy eyes. Ill try get a picture of him.

Thanks for all the info  

I hope to try something in the future 

[WTB2feet 60cm lights and related]

I am planning on building a 2x24W t5Ho with a suit lie ballast from Amazon 

will that be sufficient for softies

(Around 45Liter tank)

[WTB2feet 60cm lights and related]

Hi 

firstly sorry for making so many topics...

I am looking for lights to start on a nano reef with soft corals 

I'm on a really tight budget so I'm keen on DIY to save money...

 

[Center piece fish for a community tank?]

Since rams are too expensive and too difficult to csre for i am going to buy/ expand on the exciting fish species so I have 

2 peppered Cory  cats, 4 serpae tetras and 7 neon tetras... Is that over stocked?

but before buying fish (3) I need to buy 

1.canister filter   2.aquascape and make it look like good AGA entry  3.get more fish...  And also buy  food/dechlorinator which adds to the cost... And I have an extremely tight budget (being a student) soooo buying fish is probbly gonna take awhile...

Thanks:)

 

[HELP! THEIR ARE THINGS INFESTING MY TANK]

Yup they are Ostracods although I've never seen my fish eat them... They just lazily swim around all day 

[My photographic aquarium]

Really nice tank😀

i love the gravel 

[Wtb Anubias]

Since tannins are good I might as well do more water changes...

Ill try some rotala once it  starts to grow in my tank but before that I need to upgrade to cheap canister filter. Internal filters are a pain to clean...

thanks 

[Wtb Anubias]

Also I'm having a real problem with tannins which to me ruins the crisp whiteness of the water. Is there anything I can do about it?
