Illuiix Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 FUXX!! That's is the cleanest Nanobox fixture I've seen by far so far. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Have you ever thought about going filterless and doing 50% water changes every week? Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hey guys a little update. I added a piece of live rock a few weeks ago and the tank just went through a big diatom bloom. The diatoms are clearing up now and I will post pics soon of the tank. Cleanup crew will arrive in two weeks. Also if my secret Santa partner wants to buy me the 40 gram can of Elos sv.M2 fish food or/and a Cobalt 50W Neo-therm heater that would be wonderful. I will get you whatever you want! Link to comment
Psychosis Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'll see what I can do. Link to comment

LiquidTension82 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Very clean, I will be following this. (I'm loving those Nanobox pics by the way) Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 FUXX!! That's is the cleanest Nanobox fixture I've seen by far so far. Again, this. If I were to ever go with nanobox, this would be my color/theme choice. Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Sorry guys! I will definitely have pics tomorrow. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 That's a sooooper clean looking tank. After them nasty @ss diatomes are gone this tank is going to make one hell of gem. Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 For whatever reason the diatoms growing on the seams won't die with the rest. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I still have that very same problem, only the diatomes have turned to annoying coralline. I just use an old credit card to scrape them off. The rounded edge works well on the silicone. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Looking great and glad the new wires are hung! Keep it up! -Dave Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Just did a water change and tested. All levels on spot. Should be ready for cleanup crew this week! Also I decided I want to go with snails and a group of Gnathophyllum americanum for inverts instead of a bunch of different shrimp and crabs. Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Can someone tell me if I should add the fish before or after corals? I think if I add the fish after my corals it will cause a mini-cycle and might damage the corals slightly. If I add the fish first the corals won't have to endure any kind of cycle and there will be a good amount of organics for the corals to feed on, but the fish may be too sensitive to be added to the tank while its still new. I decided on a pair of eviota pellucida and a single trimma cana btw. Thanks for the help. Link to comment
Rehype Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Add fish 1st, imo. I agree corals should be added last... once you have a handle on your potential bioload(fish,invertebrates etc). Tank looks great BTW! Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks hype and illu! I will add fish and inverts first. Link to comment
daletu Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 My order will be few snails, fish, more snails, shrimps/inverts... then finally corals. Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yeah I'll be doing snails on my first shipment, then fish, then shrimp, then corals. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 You shouldn't do snails IMO... Their shells can scratch the sensitive glass... It happened before to a reefer on here. Because the opening edge of the shell is thin and sharp, snails aren't careful enough once in a while. Link to comment
