TheLadyDragon Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 wait a month then see what happens Link to comment
KamDesai Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I would recommend more Live Rock. At least 1.5x the gallonage of the tank. Don't add uncured LR to the system now though since you already have some livestock. I would follow LadyDragon's advice and wait for a few weeks to make sure all the water parameters are stable. Also, with the amount of wattage in your hood, you should stick to low/med light softies...mushrooms, ricordea, etc. Hope that helps. Good luck! Link to comment
Sltwtr4lfe Posted August 4, 2003 Author Share Posted August 4, 2003 so, can i get ne botton polyps with my lights? can you tell me what i could get and what i cant? ne info helps a NEWBIE! Link to comment
KamDesai Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I think you would be safe with: Mushrooms Zooanthids Ricordia And you could probably even swing bubble coral or frogspawn as long as you feed them some and don't expect huge growth. You could also get a Sun Coral since it needs no light at all. But, it requires feeding it manually at least 3x a week. Hope that helps. I am sure some of the other people on this board have many more suggestions. Link to comment
Aqualung Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Just set up a Nano Cube yesterday -- ~20 lbs. LR, 12lbs. LS. Tell me more about why you eliminated the bio balls. And how you crafted a surface skimmer. Thanks Link to comment
Sltwtr4lfe Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 the bio balls are known to get nitrates / nitires way up where you dont want them, the skimmer has failed me and is not working oh well! try try again! Link to comment
