Pinner Reef Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Wow! For a cheap glass tank it looks super clean. You test for EVERYTHING! That's super impressive! I like this setup and can't wait to watch it's progress. to Nano-reef 2 Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Sweet! Any stocking plans? 1 Quote Link to comment
ekimov Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Thank you, both of you! I didn't test nothing yet, that's the salt parameters.My plans are for zoas,ricordeas and LPS.I don't know about the need of wavemaker in this kind of tank, what do you think about it?I'm looking forward for nano wavemaker."Sicce voyager 1 mini stream" is one option...the other is cheap powerhead.

REEFerMAdNESS88 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 in the pico world i would say the simpler the better. if you want a some intermittent turbulence in the water you could get a small cheap pump and but it on a cheap wall plug timer. dig the tank nice clean look. 2 Quote Link to comment

fishfreak0114 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The tank's looking great! What is that coral in the middle that is like an upright wedge? 1 Quote Link to comment
ekimov Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks!Sorry, but I don't know :/ This frag is a bonus gift from the online store and they didn't send me ID info. Quote Link to comment
ekimov Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 One of my zoas has Zoa Pox:( I treated the frag with mix of fresh water and H2O2-3/4:1/4 in a vane for 60 secs.I heard that "Furan 2" is the best for Zoa Pox, but there is no way to find it in Bulgaria. Quote Link to comment

ekimov Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Two months , but I'm still fighting with diatoms 3 weeks ago there were gone, but then I weave the tank to my parents for a week and they messed up the things -like adding too much water and reduce the salinity, turning off the heater..and more mistakes. As a result diatoms rised and don't want to die https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gb_YMvkI78 Quote Link to comment
