JavaJacketOC Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Wow, the neon gobies look like they're gonna be a good fit...are they pretty bold in your experience? Link to comment
simplenough Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 yea for fish of that size they are definitely outgoing. Link to comment
jaygalindo Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 being that this is my first nano I had a question for you since I saw that you are going with 150 MH lighting. Do you thing this is too much light for this tank or are you going to raise it pretty high off the surface? Thanks Link to comment
simplenough Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 For some corals it might be too much; but i'm planning on keeping mostly sps, and i'll have some shaded areas for other corals, like rics, and some lps. I don't planning on keeping the light too high off, just a few inches. Link to comment
wljimbo Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Do you think evaporation is going to be a problem? I have a 150w on my 12g and can barely keep up w/ it! Link to comment

I am going to build a diy ATO, so im not too worried about evap. And thank you very much PoopCola, i sure hope you're right Link to comment
bluefunelement Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Antec fans are great! I picked up the spotcool model for my 24nc with viper 150 and it's a godsend!!! Multispeed and with blue moon lights - only problem is it's too effective and can't be kept on at night or it'll cool the tank down too much - do you plan to point yours across the water or just exhaust the MH with it?

As far as the diy ato. I haven't really thought about it. I have an extra float switch laying around so i figured i could set that up in one of the back compartments and have a gravity fed ATO..

1337TANKHAX Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Looking like this is going to be a rad tank. I dig the neon gobies! And I second Maria's motion on getting a pompom crab. I had one in my NC12 and it was so cool to watch. Link to comment

bluefunelement Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 hopefully i can get away with just pointing it at the halide, but if the water temp. is still too high then i'll point it across the water surface. So have you tried the fan temp input mod? I am going to pick up this model and try to move it closer or aim it so that it spins up just as the temp raises midday. According to this graph if the hood gets 100F the fan will still only be running at 3/4 speed which means quiet. My spot cool is only on 1/2 speed pointing at a MH so this should be fine.... Let me know what you do with yours... Antec temp-controlled fan Link to comment
