Jon-Paul Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I am new to the hobby of keeping a Nano reef. I have decided that for my first tank I would want a 2 Gallon Hexagon or a 2 Gallon Tall. This would be my first nano. I already however have a 37 Gallon reef in process tank. Just wanted to use and old 2 Gallon. I have done a fair amount of reading up on these tanks and it seems the only real difference is more WC's. Here are specs for the future 2 Gallon Hex. 2 Gallon Hexagon Acrylic Looking for a low GPH filter 50 range 50watt Ebo Jager Heater 13watt PC Desklamp 3-4lbs Live Rock 2-3lbs Live Sand Circulation would be via the filter. Please comment on this post. Thanx Link to comment
Dustin Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I would use a little more LS, but that is all. Link to comment

Jon-Paul Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 Basa what kind of filter do you have on your 2 Gallon Hex. I can't find a smal enough HOB to put on a 4.5" face. Thanx Link to comment
samthebigfish Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 i used the smallest topfin hob on my 10 just to get it started, not sure it it will fit on the back of a 2 gallon ........ i still have it running on my 10 gal. it was like 12 bucks at pestmart. it is 5 &3/4 in. long. hopes this helps......

basa90 Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Jon-Paul- I just use the microjet PH no HOB. Im sure a aquaclear-mini might work Link to comment
Zane Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 The aquaclear-mini will work, but just barely. To make it work, I had to cut some of the acrylic cover back a bit for water clearance. Link to comment
Jon-Paul Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 Yeah I was thinking that a small Powerhead might work. Just by using the lR/LS and a PH this filttering would be accomplished. Excellent. Then it shall be started very soon (when my funds go up some). BTW Thanx fer replies Link to comment
