[email protected] Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Wow! is the word! Great setup! I am just starting out with a nano tank. Have bought all the hardware and will be setting it up this weekend. Can I ask you for a supplier for the corals rocks? Next is how long I should wait be fore I introduce live corals into the tank? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanityChelle Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I don't know much about marine (would love to get into it if I had the moolah), but that seems like a real small amount of fish for such a large tank. Is that because it's harder to keep the water quality constant in marine, or do the corals affect the balance somehow? The tank is ridiculously beautiful, by the way.

Thank you. No idea where to get coral rocks. If you have live rock, maybe 3 weeks until corals...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope just going slow adding the fish, tank has been set up just over a month (sumps has had live rock for 2 years though) Plan to add more fish, but enjoying the lower bio load atm, less agression etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinefish4life Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well, chromis have laid on the side glass now, next to the firefish's homes, agro chromis + firefish isnt too good, but they are handling it Got a nice green gonipora from wonderworld yesterday and a random pic of the yellow polyps that arent dying anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank is finally starting to mature, Have been going pretty slow on the stock but we are finally starting to add a few more things to it, almost at the limit now though Copperband in frag tank is starting to eat very well, both my mix and frozen mysid. Almost ready for the display tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinefish4life Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thank you These clowns are still young, the oranges are just over a year old. So no breeding for a while, there parents which we lost in a velvit outbreak, were spawning in a communtiy tank though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinefish4life Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Few more updated pic. Copperband and flame angel were added about a week ago. All is getting along well so far. Bangaiis have had a mouthful of eggs for 3 weeks now... you'll see in the pics anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
