oohnoo Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 HiHo I have a 15gal minireef that I started in March of this year. It's a skimmerless system as I have built a refugium for it. The amount of life in it is amazing. It currently has a 3"dsb with about 20lbs assorted live rock in it. Lighting is two 55watt Compacts from AHSupply and 2 minijets for circulation There is a beautiful Hammer Coral, assorted mushrooms, umbrella zena, star polyps, bubble coral. Assortment of hermits and snails which are constantly laying eggs. I think there are baby snails all over the glass but I'm not sure as I don't know what they should look like. In the refugium there is 2" Southdown sand followed by 2 more inches of live sand. Also about 3lbs LR. I added some grape caulerpa and also razor which is really starting to take off. For lighting the refugium I just use a Jali strip light with a 13watt compact. here's some pics. I'll have to update them as I relandscaped a little. http://www.fototime.com/inv/48D08E179E36AA5 Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 Your tank looks great Robert! You should be very proud. Also a cool refugium btw. May I make a page about your nano with a description and link to your photos to place on the site? Let me know what you think. Link to comment
oohnoo Posted July 9, 2001 Author Share Posted July 9, 2001 Definitely. I’ll try and update some of the pics Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 It's all finished Robert. You can see it at: http://www.nano-reef.com/robertnano.htm . I hope you like it, and please let me know if something in the description needs to be fixed. Link to comment
oohnoo Posted July 10, 2001 Author Share Posted July 10, 2001 HiHo Hey that looks great. You do a wonderful job. I have to take some more recent pics. If I wanted to add pics do I just e-mail them to you? Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Sure, or just post them where you have been, since there is a link to it. Whatever you like. Link to comment
rhinoivory Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Does the Caulerpa Racemosa help keep the nuisance algae under control or is it just a myth? Link to comment
mr9iron Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Thats a nice nano oohnoo. Also I love your refugium, mabey you should consider selling them. Link to comment
oohnoo Posted July 29, 2001 Author Share Posted July 29, 2001 The caulerpa in the refugiun is doing an execlent job. It has grown to twice it's volume. As A matter of fact I have to start trimming it. And yes I believe it keep the nusance algae away cause I don't have any. Thank mt8iron I lot of people have asked me to build them. I just wish I had the time to do that for everybody but summer is here and there are just too many house projects going on. Maybe latter on. Link to comment
rhinoivory Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 I am thinking of adding some to my nano within the display area. I heard trimming a Caulerpa is not as daunting as removing hair algae and is not as grotesque, rather ornamental in fact. I will only add the Caulerpa if I encounter a large hair algae spike, there is no use otherwise. Link to comment
