DNR88 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 New topic! Last FTS 2019-12-07: Hello there, Here's a new episode of my (hopefully) never ending reefing adventure and this time the starring role is for Dennerle. I bought myself an 30 liter (8 gallon) Dennerle Nano cube and a Dennerle Reef light, together with about 9 pounds live rock and a Sicce Voyager Nano 1000. Some pictures of the build. I will keep you updated! 🙂 6 Quote Link to comment

ECLS Reefer Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Is that brand European? Never heard the name before, but it is a nice compact look, especially how you put your rocks together in it! Quote Link to comment

My favorite fish is the wetmorella possum wrasse and I hope to put a pair of it in this tank. As to corals, I didn't think of that yet, but I have some weeks coming to figure it out. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment

I think it's a very neat tank m, good building quality and nice dimensions. 3 Quote Link to comment

Adorable It´s also from Dennerle, as well as the scraper, which scrapes in the round corners! 😎 Dennerle really 'rocks' with nano-tanks! 2 Quote Link to comment

DNR88 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Okey, the last scape didn't last very long.. And as a cliffhanger, this one doesn't last very long as well..! 😱 😅 3 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Dennerle are known for outstanding quality, I wanted one of their larger lagoon-style tanks but they're impossible to find stateside. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, very nice quality. I think you mean the Dennerle 55 liter (or 12 gallon) Scraper's tank. Very interesting dimensions, also considered that one. I could send you one..! 😅 What is it with us and those small tanks..? Since I got this one, I'm not bothering the bigger 31 gallon tank at all..! 😌 2 Quote Link to comment

The 55 is a nice tank I love the Cube as well so that 60L they do does look pretty sexy Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 I think I've managed to create a scape which should last longer than a day and where I could start to build on my corals. Tomorrow I hope to begin with adding corals, starting with zoa's and some 'regular' Discosoma's I think. 😏 My lfs does have a pretty good collection of zoa's at the moment, so that's probably going to be quite challenging to choose from and not spending a fortune... They have in store at the moment: Purple pany Alian antivenom Purple deaths Red deaths Maimi vice Desert storm Sunny d Tyree orange rainbow 5 colors rainbowCitrus cooler Deangelos Sonic flare Palyptoa grandis Nuclear deathVampire slayer Petroglyph Golden maul Mega rainbow Utter chaos Keds redsLord of the rings Vampire people eaters Granny apples smith Blue panama Tutti frutti Fruitloops Blue hornet RastaJohny pumpkin Bambam mini Any recommendation on fast and easy growers? 🙂 1 2 Quote Link to comment
Muffin87 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I have the same tank in the 16G version. I got the same light in the 36w version with the kit the tank came with. Then I got another one, because I thought one wouldn't be enough. I hate to be a downer like this. but I must say I really hate the light (36w version). I measured the PAR with a seneye reef. At the bottom of the tank, 16 inches deep, the PAR was between 35 and 42. With two of those lights - 72w of power! Maybe my rockwork was too high and produced some shadowing. but I measured all over the tank. At the very top of the tank, the PAR was about 150. That finally explained why the Euphyllias placed on the sandbed weren't growing, and the candy canes barely grew. I changed the light with an IT2040. Now they grow. I'm gonna use one of the 36w lights as a refugium light on the 50G I'm building (pictured). 2 1 Quote Link to comment

But I never really buy kits or AIO's to begin with, always better going with a well-known light or pump instead of whatever companies try to bundle together for the lowest-dollar.

I like the calmness and coolness that the light radiates. When the corals doesn't like it, I'm going to swap it for LED. Quote Link to comment

A.m.P Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Fairy-dust are considered a plague-species, so they might go-over pretty-nicely as well lol, I think pink and gold are supposed to be about as impossible to control too IIRC. Here's a fun site with a whole mess of zoa's listed.http://zoabrary.com/Search/index.php?&&page=1 1 Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 So I ditched the Dennerle Reef Light and decided to put my Blue Marine 11W LED in. Also, I bought: - Sunny D Zoa's (2 polyps); - Rasta Zoa's (6 small polyps); - Eagle Eye Zoa's (9 small polyps); - One bright green Corallimorpharia; - Caulerpa macro algae (to control nitrates and phosphates and for the natural look). All together for around 60 dollar, which isn't bad at all I think! Pictures tomorrow! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment

Maybe, but for now and for the cleaner look, I prefer to only have the LED. Maybe something like a Hydra 26 in the future would be nice... The Sunny D's start off on the right foot! 😎 2 Quote Link to comment
