steviejitsu Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Whats a coldwater? Link to comment
ryeguy28 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 and im not realy saying im going to its more ( is it posable ) Link to comment
Lalani Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 You said you were starting your first tank last month. I'm not trying to pick on you or anything, but you need to slow down and do one project at a time. 2 months is not a long time. Give it 6 months or a year before you say it's a successful tank.

ryeguy28 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 You said you were starting your first tank last month. first nano tank its fine im just asking if its posiable like if the heat from the light would kill the efforts of the fans/ chiller or if any cold water ( fish, inverts ( nems), or any coral can thrive in a tank of this size Link to comment
PolypGardener Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Why would you waste time and money (especially on a chiller) for a 1.25 gallon cold water tank? I think the cold water tank is a great idea, but because of the expense of the obviously much needed chiller, why not do a 30-40 gallon tank. But if pico is your thing..... Link to comment

No fish, maybe a snail or limpet, and some strawberry nems. Link to comment
Sushi Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 nothing is impossible, but keeping params stable especially temp fluctuations down to coldwater levels will be challenging. i would say up the volume.... Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 And only a few people have access to things like that Also, theres a lot more info out there about warmwater. Link to comment

nanoreefnate Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i changed it cause i relized how dumb a 1.25 would be i can get you sum zoas PS get the largest tank you can for your starting tank. more water= stabler conditions Link to comment
Hero Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If you want to know about an actual coldwater instead of having people tell you not to it doesnt really matter what size tank you have. The only major difference is that it takes longer to cycle in some cases and depending on where you collect your livestock can require a chiller. I started with a 7 gal no chiller tidepool tank when i started coldwater. Link to comment
