JBM Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Your old tank thread inspired me to start plaining a 5.5g aio. Going to have similar equipment. YAY for pico's. New tank looks great aswell Link to comment
bluepanda Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 This is a sweet little tank! I am so inspired I am going to have to hunt one of those tanks down. Link to comment
bluemax Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Anyone had any luck finding someone who sells these tanks in the U. S. or does Aquatic Kingdom ship them? Link to comment
Sandeep Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Here is the Chinese manufacturer of these tanks: http://www.boyuaquarium.com/en_smallclass....%AE%D7%E5%CF%E4 And here is their USA Importer website http://www.boyu.us/ They are listed in the 'Mini Aquariums' section of the websites.

Sandeep Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 It's been a few months and here is the latest updated pics. I've removed the fish breeder, extended the reef island a bit with the real estate. I put the cheato behind the reef island at the rear of the tank and added a HOB filter which provides the flow current for the tank now. Micro-Elegance doing great, a few more tentacles as you can see Link to comment

Twilton Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 1. Instant is ocean is fine for all corals except SPS or other things that heavily use calcium/alkalinity. Also, buying salt in larger packages (or buckets) is helpful in saving money on something you will constantly use. 2. Do not use crushed coral. The grains are too big, and they easily get clogged with detritus and other waste. You don't need live sand as even dry sand will become live with live rock, and most bagged "live sand" is like arag-alive (aragonite sand) isn't going to have much life sitting on the shelf for months/years. Live sand isn't dangerous, but is expensive. 3. Don't buy kalkwasser or the buffer (or any additive/supplement for that matter). You should only dose what you're [accurately] testing for and only when dosing is necessary. For a new tank, dosing something like kalkwasser is a very bad recommendation. You should aim for roughly 1-1.5 lbs of live rock per gallon (using base/dry rock is fine). Hi im new to all this, iv had running for about 10-12 months a 36g juwel tank with internal filter removed iv been running on a 25g sump containing live sand and live rock, i have about 2kg of live rock in my sump and about 15kg in my main display however im a student and funds for my tank are low at the moment it just has always seemed to be quite empty and after i lost the 6 fish i did have it all seems abit to much. i am considering chopping the glass partisions out of my sump and down grading my system to a 20g nano reef and running of mainly biological filtration within the tank, would this be something that is going to be worth it or not? just need some feed back really. cheers Nick Link to comment

I love it and hope my fluval edge can run similar. What are you running in the HOB? Do you still have a fuge setup? Link to comment

Sandeep Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Latest updated images of the tank, everything is doing great. Micro-elegance is now about the size of a quarter. I fragged my elegance in my nano into 5 frags and ended up with two tiny pieces of skeleton with a few tentacles attached. You can see them to the right of the micro-elegance. It will be interesting to see if I can keep them alive & if they grow and develop a mouth like their cousin below. Link to comment
