nanoreef11 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I like your fish selection. I was thinking about a clown and a royal gramma for my tank but just getting everything squared away first. I think it could use a little bit more height to the aquascape. Off to a great start though. Link to comment

got2envy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ok sounds like a plan..I never even thought of looking at the pet stores when I was there, so much other great things to see Royal grammas are great fish! lots of personality Link to comment
rotarymagic Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 What kind of "phosphate pad" is that??? Doesn't seem to be holding them down very much... try using rowaphos or phosban, those would probably work much better, they kept my biocube at zero and I using the max recommended dose per gallon, but not too much to prevent my dKH from dropping. Are you running carbon too?? +1 on more rock, it needs it. Make sure you buy rock out of established, running tanks as to prevent a minicycle. Link to comment
