ProFlatlander15 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 awesome rockscape. looks real good so far, maybe think about a fuge/skimmer? Link to comment
daves new nano Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 Wow thanks proflatlander u made my day, i was rally paranoid when u look at some of the amazing tanks on NR.com that mine mite look a bit pathetic. as for a fuge/skimmer im looking a upgradeing to a cube tank soon as i like the possibilites for aquascaping more, theres only so much u can do with a long tank like mine, ill probly built a fuge into this. the tank im looking at is called a BOYU fish home its 15G very similar to a nano-cube this is the link to the website that sells them, its in the aquariums section, www.shirleyaquatics.co.uk what do you think of these tanks? like a nano-cube or what?

trekbear Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I think they are very much like the JBJ NanoCube. If I am not mistaken JBJ orders their tanks from BOYU so they should be alike. HTH, Tom Link to comment
daves new nano Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 cheers Tom, i had an idea that may be the case im gona have to get some more info on em then, there a good price to 109 pounds (bout 206 dollars) for the larger one. Link to comment
sparky77 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 it's not a bad tank, like the stocked (fish tank) picture above i'm going to look up lawnmower blennie my be a good addition to my tank Link to comment
trekbear Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 109pounds is a very good deal for this, especially a 15gallon model. What lighting comes on them? Watts? Type? Enjoy! Tom Link to comment
Pili4444 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 It looks good, and i like the aquascaping. How much LR do you have in there? The zoos in the middle are nice also. Also try putting some carbon in those filters. It should clear up the water pretty good. Link to comment
daves new nano Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 Tom, im not sure of the lighting specs for the boyu tank, im waiting for some more nfo on them, i shall probly upgrade the lights anyway, ive got 2 36w PC's in the hood of my current tank which should fit, along with 2 T5 24w VHO tubes. Pili4444, i think theres about 15/16lps in there, the yellow zoos were my first coral bopught on-line im really happy with them ive fraged them twice n they just keep growing. sparky, lawnmower blennies are cool fish i love mine hes got so much personality & hes completely fearless, when i put my hands in the tank he swims up 2 me & if i keep still he perches on my fingers. cheers for all the coments folks Dave Link to comment
