FishTankFred Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 so i want to start a nano cube 6 gallon in my bedroom. i have a desk way strong enough for it to sit nicely. i was going to go with the 3gal pico but i wanted the hood and the rear compartment to add cold fresh water so it wont effect the display that much. get a 50watt heater. take out all the false floors in the back and the bioballs and put lr rubble the the second chamber, korilla nano, maybe one of thoes rotating wave things to put on the stock pump output, 4in sand bed, bunch of lr(dont really know how much yet). as far as live stock i want to get some sexy shrimp or glass shrimp, maybe a cool lookin crab, and a goby of some sort, i want a firefish but i haven't researched my livestock choices enough yet. and some simple corals. i use reef crystals with ro/di water and have a refractometer to keep the sg perfect and will probably do 1-2gal a week if thats enough as i do a 3 gal change on my 29. so what does everyone think any and all suggestions on setup, livestock, or maintenance. thanks Link to comment

Not both. Link to comment
FishTankFred Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 that was what i had planned. but you think the firefish will do good in there? also are the purple firefish and regular any different in care level? thanks for the replies. i will deff get some pics up Link to comment
brian92 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 with such a deep sand bed I wouldn't know if you would have enough room. With live rock i think that a 2 gallon water change would empty your tank Link to comment
FishTankFred Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 yeah maybe i should take an inch off that..yeah its a little over a gal per inch and i never really use all the water in the bucket and i just eyeball it. Link to comment
FishTankFred Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 well i got er all set up tonight. plans changed a bit. but heres a few pics aquascape first running pic Link to comment
nanoty Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Cool, I want to do a 6g NC but I got too much crap going on right now anyways. I think I would do a couple of neon gobies or maybe a yellow clown goby. Small bioload makes tank easier to maintain. Link to comment
FishTankFred Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 im going to get a green banded goby for the 6. im also going to glue a frag of gsp from my 29g on the back wall so it will cover it. Link to comment
