jtower1969 Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 This is my Nano...it's been up for about a week and a half...The cycle is done, but I'm deciding on how to stock it. It has: 7 gallon mini bow stock hood and light soon to be upgraded Penguin 125 carbon removed from the media Ebo-Jager 75 watt 7 lbs. live rock 15 lbs. live sand R/O water Any sugestions on what I should do for the clean-up crew? What corals? what fish? By the way...I have learned alot from this site...Thanks!! Link to comment
maroonclown05 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 did you say that your tank has only been set up for a week and already the cycle is done? it usually takes a bit longer than a week.. is the water and rock taken from a larger tank? Link to comment
jtower1969 Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 I purchased everything at my LFS...this place rocks!! The rock was cured and covered with Coraline (so were the snails and the hermits) I guess the sand was really "LIVE" too. My brother in law used some of my sand and purchased the same LR for his 3 gallon..and he was done in 3 days!! This is the web site for the LFS if you would like to look at it... www.absolutelyfish.com This place is great and I feel bad when I read some of posts of people complainig about not having a good LFS.

pendragon Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hey jtower1969, Looks good. One sure sign of a cycle completing is a diatom bloom. I had my 4 gal cycle in a matter of days. Regarding the clean up crew: I would have at least 6 hermits and 6 snails. I really like nassarius snails cause of the shell and blue leg hermits are really cool looking. Regarding coral: I would have to sugest no coral till you upgrade the lights. But when you do the sky is the limits...excepts no sps...hehehehe Regarding fish: I have had success with damsels and false perc. clown are very popular around here and they are so darn cute. Good luck with the setup. :smile: Link to comment
jtower1969 Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 The clean up crew has been in for exactly one week today...I have also ordered the 32 PC from Chris. I think I might add a shrimp tomorrow..than some corals when the light arives. Link to comment
