dan_from_nz Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi there I know this may strike up an argument but i am wondering weather it is worth using a ugf in my nano tank with a power head attached. I dont want to use it as a filter and would only put live rock over the plate no sand the only reason i am considering using it is because it would allow me to get a high flow on a small tank pulled in over a large surface are and wouldn't trap too much stuff. Any replys much apreciated regards, Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 UGF went out with Berlin protein skimmers. I think you were looking at a 100L tank is that correct, if so a good protein skimmer and rock is only required, Nano tanks are normally less than 30 Litres and they only also use rock and an air tube. Get the CORAL magazine volume 2 it has all the info on NANO tanks. One thing for sure Nano tanks are not for beginners as they are too hard to maintain due to the margin of error, I would get 200-300 litre min.

Brianemone Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 what he said, if something is going to go wrong in a nano its gunna go wrong real fast 100 litres would really be better with a sump four foot as everyone says is a good start point because it is a standard size and very easy to setup (lights/skimmer/rock) i would have kept mine setup if i didnt have to move again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
