Post picturesof JBJ nanocubes

[halfpint]

Here is a picture of my JBJ Nano. Had it up and running for about 6 months. the rock is from my other nano that has been running for about a year and a half. it has stock lighting and a 125 GPH PH. the only coral is a pumping Xena. there is also a red sea star.

 

 

this is it with the flash.

 

 

 

 

I am looking for any suggestions for cool corals for it that are not going to sting any other corals.

 

is it possible that if i get an anemone that it will kill any coral, or vice-versa???

[halfpint]

[halfpint]

hey, 748S911

that's sweet. you said that you have LR in the sump. do you ever rinse it or have lights on it? also doyou ever have problems with algae outbreaks. and lasly, do you have the sponges, ceramic, bioballs, or any other filter media in there?

[wenhamjj]

Here is my setup... First chamber I have poly which catches most of the particles. Above the intake I cut 1/8 wide teeth across the top of the chamber to act as a simple surface skimmer. Second section I have full of LR rubble. I have never rinsed it and the only light it gets is from the tank. The third area I have my heater and a bag of purigen. And all I have in the fourth area is the pump, a minijet 606. I use the stock pump in my mixing bucket.

wenhamjj that is some pretty nice aquascaping. are you planning on adding more corals or are you just gunna sit back and watch it grow?

here is mine at almost 4 months:

[halfpint]

that's awsome. i might look into getting some LR rubble and doing the same. what is the GPH on the pump you installed on the return of your filter?

[halfpint]

wow. nice tank. did you buy pre-cycled water and rock? cuz i have waited so long to start putting stuff in mine. im looking into getting 70W metal halide for my tank right now.

Thanks! Yes I plan on adding more. I found a great LFS that sells frags priced from 5 to 40 dollars depending on the size. So thanks to them I will be adding more very soon. Its the only LFS in Atlanta that sells frags as well as full size coral.

I bought pre-cycled sand and just slowly added the rock over time. You dont need to wait long, unless you plan to have fish, then it must be very stable.. corals are more forgiving in that respect.

[halfpint]

that's cool mine is going to be reef-only.

[audiocontrol]

no fish?

[halfpint]

no i dont want to have to deal with feeding and then nitrate going up.

 

besides, more money andspace to put coral in.

[audiocontrol]

You just made one of the most intelligent decisions of your little reef journey, lol. Your corals are going to grow faster, you'll have next to none with algae problems (if you use excelent source water), less maintenence, and is all round cheaper. thats the route I chose and I have no more room for anything in my tank, litterally corals are growing on each other.

[kevin the man]

is it me or is 40 pounds of live sand alot for a nanocube? i was told to use only about 15 pounds

[halfpint]

i looked it up last night and i was wrong. it has 20 lbs in it. i used arag-alive figi pink.
