Sinistard Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 This is my first attempt at a salt-water tank. I just added the live rock and in a few days if everything goes well (by that I mean the live rock doesn't die ) I’m going to add some invertebrates Thanks for looking and if you have any suggestions for a noob to reef tanks I would appreciate it.

DitchPlains Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Nice rock work, cool cave, might work for a goby shrimp simbiotic relationship....or a cool hermit/crab hangout.....good luck looking clean and nice...maybe wait a few more days before adding inverts....let it cycle a bit.

Megalomaniac Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Great start in a few days if everything goes well (by that I mean the live rock doesn't die ) I’m going to add some invertebrates you need to wait least 3 weeks before you add anything. buy a test kit if you dont already have one, and LR cant really die there are things on it that die off.

Sinistard Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Thanks for the advice I have a test kit with the 5 in 1 test. I also had the water tested at my local shop and they said everything was good. Is there anything I should upgrade or change on my nano cube to make it better for coral. Thanks again Link to comment
Surfzup2k4 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 search in the DIY forums for nanocube, people have modded the crap out of em Link to comment
Sinistard Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Thanks Surfzup2k4 I never noticed to DIY section I have been stuck in the beginners board. I have been having problems with my heater and want to get a new one, I have been trying to figure out the best wattage. I have looked over others setups and in the beginners board and can't figure out if 50 or 100 watts is best. A lot of people have 100 watt heaters but most of them say they are for 30 gal tanks. The 50 watt heaters say for up to 15 gal so would 50 watts be enough or are there advantages of a 100 watt heater. I also added some live sand and a few new pieces of LR. Here is a new pic of my set-up. If anyone has suggestions as far a placement of the LR im open, I like it the way it is but don't know if it will work once i start adding coral. As alway thanks for looking and any suggestions or tips are welcome. Link to comment

qwertyuiop Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 like the rock work, wait like 2 more weeks before putting inverts in...thats only if you want them to live a long time! Link to comment
