rleon3003 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 what about the cycle? you do know there should be a cycle right? Link to comment
IlikeNanos Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 well, if everything came from an established system, there should hardly be any cycle, right? I think the only worry is waiting for the bacteria to form in your "new" filter. Link to comment
dubbin1 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 what about the cycle? you do know there should be a cycle right? No there should not be a cycle since everything came out of my 37g cube, 75g reef, 20L frag tank and rock from the sump. Yes I know what I'm doing Thanks for looking out for my livestock though!!!

FUGU!!! Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Lucky guy! My tank has been set up for 3 months and I still dont have any corals! Link to comment
Prowland Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 My tank has been set up for 3 months and I still dont have any corals! WHY? That tank looks sharp. I am going to have to set another one up with less rock. I always put too much in my tanks. Like around 2lbs per gal and then I run out of room. What lighting is on that? Link to comment

The lighting looks like an 18w PC. Link to comment

Like around 2lbs per gal and then I run out of room. What lighting is on that? I thought I would go with the looks of a little rock and I'm liking it. The light is the stock light that comes with the picotope. Looks like I'll be doing some fragging this weekend to get this puppy filled up I was going to get a clown goby for it but I really don't want to feed this small of a tank. Link to comment
SaVeThEeELs Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 no pics???? how big of a picotope?? Link to comment
dubbin1 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 no pics???? how big of a picotope?? There are 5 pics in my first post. Its a 3g picotope. Link to comment
SaVeThEeELs Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 sorry, didnt see em at first?????? its the glass jbj??? those are nice..... picos rock....its just running the 9 watt light right now eh??? only problems i can think you may have are tempature issues... i had an green algea problem in my TOM, but thats b/c i contaminated the water dirty hands..........just throw a ball of cheato right into the main tank and it will clear up quick.....take it out when your done of course... i dont think the 18watt light was helping.... its fine now...nice and stable....

dubbin1 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 i had an green algea problem in my TOM Whats a TOM? Link to comment
FUGU!!! Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Whats a TOM? Its the company that makes the tank. Link to comment
dubbin1 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 only problems i can think you may have are tempature issues... What makes you think I will have temp issues? My house is at a constant 74° year around so I see no problem with it getting hot or cold. Link to comment
SaVeThEeELs Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 ambient tempatures affect 3 gal alot quicker than a larger tank..... so your right...it should be fine then... Link to comment
dubbin1 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Whats your GPH? Right now it just has flow from the little filter that came with it. I do have a minijet 404 on the way though. Link to comment
dubbin1 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Well I wasn't crazy with the way the rocks looked so I did it over again Link to comment
