seabass Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Mmmm…nano. Doh! Another sweet custom entry. Link to comment
shao-lin nano Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 It doesn't look like the slits for our overflow will handle too much flow. Sweet looking tank though. Interesting idea with the extra depth. Link to comment
NanoClown Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 well if it cant handle all the flow i will have to hide a PH behind my LR Link to comment
NanoClown Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 so im deciding that this tank is becomeing a pain to because i dont have money for the equiptment need so i think that i cant get anything done untill Xmas. i am only a 14 year old that now owes my mom $150 on a celly bill and i barely have $10 to my name! lol. i am very tired of lookinq at a empty tank. i am probably not going to have any process with this tank untill January so by then the contest would be over and i would barely have my tank in a cycle so look for a thread on it then.

seabass Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Why don’t you just get a small piece of LR and let it cycle for awhile with the Maxi-Jet providing flow? My LR is just 3lbs and cost me $15. When you get some more money, you could add 10lbs of dry sand. Just my 2¢. Link to comment
NanoClown Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 i need all of the locline and pvc still, nowhere around here has it, and the maxi 900 that was given to me wont kick on for anything so i would need. dont have a light yet basicaly all i have is a heater and a broken MJ900, i have some LR i can take out of my 5 gallon but im not shure yet i think im going to just wait. but thanks for the advise Link to comment

NanoClown Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 well i have my 6-8 LBS LR left over from my 5 gallons crash that survived, imy paraneters are amonia-0ppm nitrite-0ppm nitrate-5-10ppm can i start to put in Livestock? i really need to put in my corals that survived the crash. mostly zoas and kenyan trees and shrooms, i also have a domino that needs a place to go. note that 3-4 Lbs have been in for 2 weeks and the other 3-4 lbs have been in for 2 days note 2 i may want to add a couple more LBS will this affect anything? Link to comment
Prowland Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 note 2 i may want to add a couple more LBS will this affect anything? When you get the new rock just put it in a bucket with a pump and let it cure for sure before you stick it in you contest tank. Link to comment
NanoClown Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 so its ok for me to put my coral and my domino in even though all that junk i said? Link to comment
