brandon429 Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 by balanced I mean it works, its not just thrown in there! small aquariums (really small) can be kept if you consider the right things. Link to comment

brandon429 Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 yeah its all natural. doing well but I regret using live sand. should have gone to coral/LR rubble. have to redo in 3 mos. per what Dr. Ron said. I think he's got some very useable knowledge. do you like/agree with him nano53? Link to comment
pulpsmack Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 That makes me nervous just looking at it. Keep us posted... Link to comment

brandon429 Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 nah... nothing to be nervous about. I got a hold on the ammonia/nitrogen load with caulerpa, water changes and no critters added except whats on the LR. Dont see any reason why it would crash (soon as I vacuum out the sand replaced with fragged LR) and its over three months old now and doing fine. Got a small actinic and daylight so everything is pretty much accounted for. I dont feed anything except for a littel extra calcium, iodine and DT's. Getting good clavularia reproduction, started with 6 polyps now have twelve. It made me nervous too when I first set it up but in time Ive mellowed a bit when I found out maintainig carbonates was key to this tiny system. Three months is a good indication period wouldnt you think? I like any ideas I can get on the system. Link to comment
brandon429 Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 What does make me nervous however is children any where near my living room with nerf balls! The only design I wish I could change would be a wider or reinforced base (could build later). Tip hazard. As far as the biology goes though, its just a scaled down 5 gallon there is really no difference. Link to comment
pulpsmack Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Well it is certainly impressive. Hopefully it works out in the long term (especially considering the Nerf ball variable). Link to comment
quiksilver5768 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Nice tank brandon. I would never try one THAT small myself. I feel that a 10 is small enough for me. Hope everything works out : ) Link to comment
polkadot Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 hi brandon, i'm new to this hobby, but i think your 1.5g is great. it's very artistic, too, the shape of the tank, like a vase. you are bold for even trying it. good job. if i could make a suggestion, is it possible to hide your lights with something, perhaps a fancy lampshade or something like that?
