You may have to scrape off some of the honeycomb pattern though

Any idea how to do that?

 

Thanks

Any idea how much of Activater Carbon I need use for 12g?

[Clown79]

There should be instructions on the back of the carbon.

I want to upgrade the pump to Eheim Compact Pump 1000. Twice better flow and I hope less noise.

[dandelion]

Will that fit inside the tank?

I guess yes.

Pump chamber is (in cm, not inches): 9.6x7.5x32

Eheim Compact Pump 1000 - 265GPH is 7.8x5.4x9.4

Any way you can get a closer picture or head on?

[dandelion]

Hydor centrifugal has a higher gph and does fit.

I'll try, they are VERY tiny.

I hear that the real flow of Hydor Centrifugal is much-much lower that advertised.

if you want more flow, just remove the stock split nozzle.

I want more flow trough the media chamber.

Try removing the nozzle.  You should see water level drop in the first chamber because more water is being pushed through.

Do you know where I can get a single nozzle instead of split?

Now I have:

3 Blue Hermit

1 Turbo snail

1 Cerith

1 Emerald

 

Can I add?

2 Trochus

2 Cerith

2 Nerite

2 Nassarius (later)

 

[Slayer33]

sure why not?

 

I have 3 nassarius, 3 spiny astrea and 3 trochus.. along with my 5 hermits.

 

Only issue, which isn't an issue really is that my cleaner shrimp is such a pig.. he tries to eat everything and harasses my corals when I feed them

I have that same problem with my cleaner shrimp. You can make a protective dome with a water bottle. Just cut the top half.

why do you think you need to add more CUC?  are you having an algae issue?  CUC themselves also produce waste.  May as well spend your money on something better like a coral

I have some hair algae in the tank and cyano. I need two Nerite snail to eat cyano. Nassarius to clean the sand. Trochus and Cerith - I don't know if I need them. Cerith are really small and lazy.

100% not.

Not sure what you're running for filtration these days, but I'm with clown and ninja, no need for a skimmer on a tank this size.  Easy to do weekly water changes.  I simply run floss and ChemiPure Blue Nano.  Not much more you need in a tank that size really, unless you're overstocking, which to each their own, but meh.
