StuGotz Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 I'm in the middle of starting a nano tank right now. I got my 7.5 desktop tank made by Chris (Ya Know.. the webmaster of this site!). Looks great! Totally EMPTY, but still I ordered Rock from GARF, one of there arches and some Tonga, about 12-13 lbs Total. The tracking info says it should be here by tomorrow. If you wanna see it's progress, I have a cam on it just about all the time. The lights will be on from 9 am - 9 pm Central time. Lemme know what ya think, as it comes along... http://another.nano-reef.com Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 Lookin good StuGotz! I like your webcam on your site, so I can see all the progress. Keep everyone posted! Link to comment
StuGotz Posted July 23, 2001 Author Share Posted July 23, 2001 Thanks guys... All looks good so far.. My Ammonia is up to 2 ppm, hopefully all downhill from here. My pH is a little off at 8.6. I don't want to do a water change cause it'll mess my cycle... so i added just lil nasty acid in there... OH NO.. My tank is gonna be trippin balls now! Link to comment
rhinoivory Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 LOL, acid.......... Garf is an extremely good choice. How do you find the arch? It may look unrealistic with no "wildlife" on it, but I can assure you it will look amazing once it is inhabited!!!!! If only garf was available in Australia.............

StuGotz Posted August 2, 2001 Author Share Posted August 2, 2001 I was just lookin around on the net for corals and what not... found the garf site and saw that they had an "arch kit" The kit was 98 bux. You get the arch, you specify the size, and 5 corals. So he sent me the arch and two tonga pieces. My tank just finished cycling so i'll be ordering my corals today or tomorrow. Link to comment
The Unit Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 who or what is "GARF"-is the lR cheap? Link to comment
StuGotz Posted August 30, 2001 Author Share Posted August 30, 2001 Garf is The Geothermal Aquaculture Research Foundation. Their website (GASP) can be found at http://www.garf.org Their Rock is made with crushed coral, Rock & Cement. After about a month, mine is covered with pre-coralline algae. I have to scrape my glass everyday it's growing so fast. The only thing I can account for it is the pound of "grunge" that came with the Rock Kit I bought from them. It was definitely the most cost effective route to go. All my rock, 5 Plugs (2 Huge Purple Gorgonians, Zooanthids, Red sea Xenia, green star polyps, Sarcophyton, 2 Capnellas, Sinularia & some type of brown star polyp) & Reef Glue Came in the kit for 100 bux plus shipping. They didn't even charge me for my Clean-up crew either. I got 6 crabs and 6 Snails all mixed that do an amazing job. Just be forewarned, other than the purple gorgs they sent me, the frags are REALLY small Link to comment
